I want to have an option in select that takes a user to other page after clicking it.
Below function works on Edge and Mozilla, on Chrome not:
<select>
<option value="#Url.Action("Home")" id="some-id"> Take me somewhere
</option>
</select>
<script>
$('#some-id').click(function () {
window.location.href = this.value;
});
</script>
Please help!
I'd rewrite your code:
<select id='some-id'>
<option value="#Url.Action("Home")" > Take me somewhere
</option>
</select>
<script>
$('#some-id').on('change', function () {
window.location.href = this.value;
});
</script>
You must take a value from select Element. That way you can check if select value has changed and take user selected value.
<select id='some-id'>
<option value="#Url.Action("Home")" > Take me somewhere
</option>
</select>
<script>
$('#some-id').on('change', function (event) {
window.location = event.target.value;
});
</script>
P.s.: Better not to use this keyword but take it from event target. As using this can get You in trouble.
Usually I use $("#id").val() to return the value of the selected option, but this time it doesn't work.
The selected tag has the id aioConceptName
html code
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
<label for="aioConceptName">AIO Concept Name</label>
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option>choose io</option>
<option>roma</option>
<option>totti</option>
</select>
For dropdown options you probably want something like this:
For selected text
var conceptName = $('#aioConceptName').find(":selected").text();
For selected value
var conceptName = $('#aioConceptName').find(":selected").val();
The reason val() doesn't do the trick is because clicking an option doesn't change the value of the dropdown--it just adds the :selected property to the selected option which is a child of the dropdown.
Set the values for each of the options
<label for="aioConceptName">AIO Concept Name</label>
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option value="0">choose io</option>
<option value="1">roma</option>
<option value="2">totti</option>
</select>
$('#aioConceptName').val() didn't work because .val() returns the value attribute. To have it work properly, the value attributes must be set on each <option>.
Now you can call $('#aioConceptName').val() instead of all this :selected voodoo being suggested by others.
I stumbled across this question and developed a more concise version of Elliot BOnneville's answer:
var conceptName = $('#aioConceptName :selected').text();
or generically:
$('#id :pseudoclass')
This saves you an extra jQuery call, selects everything in one shot, and is more clear (my opinion).
Try this for value...
$("select#id_of_select_element option").filter(":selected").val();
or this for text...
$("select#id_of_select_element option").filter(":selected").text();
If you are in event context, in jQuery, you can retrieve the selected option element using :
$(this).find('option:selected') like this :
$('dropdown_selector').change(function() {
//Use $option (with the "$") to see that the variable is a jQuery object
var $option = $(this).find('option:selected');
//Added with the EDIT
var value = $option.val();//to get content of "value" attrib
var text = $option.text();//to get <option>Text</option> content
});
Edit
As mentioned by PossessWithin, My answer just answer to the question : How to select selected "Option".
Next, to get the option value, use option.val().
Have you considered using plain old javascript?
var box = document.getElementById('aioConceptName');
conceptName = box.options[box.selectedIndex].text;
See also Getting an option text/value with JavaScript
$('#aioConceptName option:selected').val();
For good practice you need to use val() to get value of selected options not text().
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" />
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option value="choose">choose io</option>
</select>
You can use
$("#aioConceptName").find(':selected').val();
Or
$("#aioConceptName :selected").val();
Reading the value (not the text) of a select:
var status = $("#Status").val();
var status = $("#Status")[0].value;
var status = $('#Status option:selected').val();
How to disable a select?
in both variants, value can be changed using:
A
User can not interact with the dropdown. And he doesn't know what other options might exists.
$('#Status').prop('disabled', true);
B
User can see the options in the dropdown but all of them are disabled:
$('#Status option').attr('disabled', true);
In this case, $("#Status").val() will only work for jQuery versions smaller than 1.9.0. All other variants will work.
How to update a disabled select?
From code behind you can still update the value in your select. It is disabled only for users:
$("#Status").val(2);
In some cases you might need to fire events:
$("#Status").val(2).change();
With JQuery:
If you want to get the selected option text, you can use $(select element).text().
var text = $('#aioConceptName option:selected').text();
If you want to get selected option value, you can use $(select element).val().
var val = $('#aioConceptName option:selected').val();
Make sure to set value attribute in <option> tag, like:
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option value="">choose io</option>
<option value="roma(value)">roma(text)</option>
<option value="totti(value)">totti(text)</option>
</select>
With this HTML code sample, assuming last option is selected:
var text will give you totti(text)
var val will give you totti(value)
$(document).on('change','#aioConceptName' ,function(){
var val = $('#aioConceptName option:selected').val();
var text = $('#aioConceptName option:selected').text();
$('.result').text("Select Value = " + val);
$('.result').append("<br>Select Text = " + text);
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option value="io(value)">choose io</option>
<option value="roma(value)">roma(text)</option>
<option value="totti(value)">totti(text)</option>
</select>
<p class="result"></p>
you should use this syntax:
var value = $('#Id :selected').val();
So try this Code:
var values = $('#aioConceptName :selected').val();
you can test in Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/PJT6r/9/
see about this answer in this post
to find correct selections with jQuery consider multiple selections can be available in html trees and confuse your expected output.
(:selected).val() or (:selected).text() will not work correct on multiple select options. So we keep an array of all selections first like .map() could do and then return the desired argument or text.
The following example illustrates those problems and offers a better approach
<select id="form-s" multiple="multiple">
<option selected>city1</option>
<option selected value="c2">city2</option>
<option value="c3">city3</option>
</select>
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option value="s1" selected >choose io</option>
<option value="s2">roma </option>
<option value="s3">totti</option>
</select>
<select id="test">
<option value="s4">paloma</option>
<option value="s5" selected >foo</option>
<option value="s6">bar</option>
</select>
<script>
$('select').change(function() {
var a=$(':selected').text(); // "city1city2choose iofoo"
var b=$(':selected').val(); // "city1" - selects just first query !
//but..
var c=$(':selected').map(function(){ // ["city1","city2","choose io","foo"]
return $(this).text();
});
var d=$(':selected').map(function(){ // ["city1","c2","s1","s5"]
return $(this).val();
});
console.log(a,b,c,d);
});
</script>
see the different bug prone output in variant a, b compared to correctly working c & d that keep all selections in an array and then return what you look for.
Just this should work:
var conceptName = $('#aioConceptName').val();
$(function() {
$('#aioConceptName').on('change', function(event) {
console.log(event.type + " event with:", $(this).val());
$(this).prev('input').val($(this).val());
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" />
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option>choose io</option>
<option>roma</option>
<option>totti</option>
</select>
Using jQuery, just add a change event and get selected value or text within that handler.
If you need selected text, please use this code:
$("#aioConceptName").change(function () {
alert($("#aioConceptName :selected").text())
});
Or if you need selected value, please use this code:
$("#aioConceptName").change(function () {
alert($("#aioConceptName :selected").attr('value'))
});
For anyone who found out that best answer don't work.
Try to use:
$( "#aioConceptName option:selected" ).attr("value");
Works for me in recent projects so it is worth to look on it.
Use the jQuery.val() function for select elements, too:
The .val() method is primarily used to get the values of form elements
such as input, select and textarea. In the case of select elements, it
returns null when no option is selected and an array containing the
value of each selected option when there is at least one and it is
possible to select more because the multiple attribute is present.
$(function() {
$("#aioConceptName").on("change", function() {
$("#debug").text($("#aioConceptName").val());
}).trigger("change");
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option>choose io</option>
<option>roma</option>
<option>totti</option>
</select>
<div id="debug"></div>
Straight forward and pretty easy:
Your dropdown
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option>choose io</option>
<option>roma</option>
<option>totti</option>
</select>
Jquery code to get the selected value
$('#aioConceptName').change(function() {
var $option = $(this).find('option:selected');
//Added with the EDIT
var value = $option.val(); //returns the value of the selected option.
var text = $option.text(); //returns the text of the selected option.
});
For get value of tag selected:
$('#id_Of_Parent_Selected_Tag').find(":selected").val();
And if you want to get text use this code:
$('#id_Of_Parent_Selected_Tag').find(":selected").text();
For Example:
<div id="i_am_parent_of_select_tag">
<select>
<option value="1">CR7</option>
<option value="2">MESSI</option>
</select>
</div>
<script>
$('#i_am_parent_of_select_tag').find(":selected").val();//OUTPUT:1 OR 2
$('#i_am_parent_of_select_tag').find(":selected").text();//OUTPUT:CR7 OR MESSI
</script>
You can try to debug it this way:
console.log($('#aioConceptName option:selected').val())
I hope this also helps to understand better and helps
try this below,
$('select[id="aioConceptName[]"] option:selected').each(function(key,value){
options2[$(this).val()] = $(this).text();
console.log(JSON.stringify(options2));
});

If you want to grab the 'value' attribute instead of the text node, this will work for you:
var conceptName = $('#aioConceptName').find(":selected").attr('value');
Here is the simple solution for this issue.
$("select#aioConceptName").change(function () {
var selectedaioConceptName = $('#aioConceptName').find(":selected").val();;
console.log(selectedaioConceptName);
});
try to this one
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#name option").filter(function() {
return $(this).val() == $("#firstname").val();
}).attr('selected', true);
$("#name").live("change", function() {
$("#firstname").val($(this).find("option:selected").attr("value"));
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="name" name="name">
<option value="">Please select...</option>
<option value="Elvis">Elvis</option>
<option value="Frank">Frank</option>
<option value="Jim">Jim</option>
</select>
<input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname" value="Elvis" readonly="readonly">
$('nameofDropDownList').prop('selectedIndex', whateverNumberasInt);
Imagine the DDL as an array with indexes, you are selecting one index. Choose the one which you want to set it to with your JS.
You can use $("#drpList").val();
to fetch a select with same class= name you could do this, to check if a select option is selected.
var bOK = true;
$('.optKategorien').each(function(index,el){
if($(el).find(":selected").text() == "") {
bOK = false;
}
});
I had the same issue and I figured out why it was not working on my case
The html page was divided into different html fragments and I found that I have another input field that carries the same Id of the select, which caused the val() to be always empty
I hope this saves the day for anyone who have similar issue.
Try
aioConceptName.selectedOptions[0].value
let val = aioConceptName.selectedOptions[0].value
console.log('selected value:',val);
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" />
<select id="aioConceptName">
<option>choose io</option>
<option>roma</option>
<option>totti</option>
</select>
There is only one correct way to find selected option - by option value attribute. So take the simple code:
//find selected option
$select = $("#mySelect");
$selectedOption = $select.find( "option[value=" + $select.val() + "]" );
//get selected option text
console.log( $selectedOption.text() );
So if you have list like this:
<select id="#mySelect" >
<option value="value1" >First option</option>
<option value="value2" >Second option</option>
<option value="value3" selected >Third option</option>
</select>
If you use selected attribute for option, then find(":selected") will give incorrect result because selected attribute will stay at option forever, even user selects another option.
Even if user will selects first or second option, the result of $("select option:selected") will give two elements! So $("select :selected").text() will give a result like "First option Third option"
So use value attribute selector and don't forget to set value attribute for all options!
You many try this:
var ioConceptName = $('#ioConceptName option:selected').text();
I have these 2 drop downs:
I have to provide values of Select Item drop down based on the value chosen in the Select Category drop down.
This is my PHP for Select Category drop down:
<form>
...
<select name="category" id="category" value="category" class="form-control ddplaceholder" style="width:220px;font-size:18px;font-family:Roboto;" onclick="document.form.submit();">
<option value="" disabled selected>Select Category</option>
...
<input type="submit" name="submit" style="width:20%;padding:15px;" value="Update"</input>
...</form>
But nothing is happening. How do I do it?
Try onchange instead of onclick
<form>
...
<select name="category" id="category" value="category" class="form-control ddplaceholder" style="width:220px;font-size:18px;font-family:Roboto;" onchange="document.forms[0].submit();">
<option value="" disabled selected>Select Category</option>
...
<input type="submit" name="submit" style="width:20%;padding:15px;" value="Update"</input>
...</form>
Two more things you should notice
onchange="document.form.submit();" this will not work because
document doesn't have a property form it is forms so you should
use onchange="document.forms[0].submit();"
You have named your submit button as submit which will prevent the
form from submitting because submit is a javascript function so
rename your submit button to something else.
If you dont have many possible values for your dropdowns, you can use plain old javascript for that purpose. See this http://jsfiddle.net/mplungjan/65Q9L/, but it requires all values to be loaded at once on the page load like this:
var stateObject = {
"California": {
"Monterey": ["Salinas", "Gonzales"],
"Alameda": ["Oakland", "Berkeley"]
},
"Oregon": {
"Douglas": ["Roseburg", "Winston"],
"Jackson": ["Medford", "Jacksonville"]
}
}
document.form.submit(); will submit the form which is not the requirement.
Instead you need to make an ajax call with the selected value from first dropdown and the response will be use to build the options of second dropdown.
use change which will trigger on change of option
$('category').on('change', function (e) {
var optionSelected = $("option:selected", this);
var valueSelected = this.value; // will give value of selected option
$.ajax({
url:"someUrl", // this url will return response from backend
// other methods
success:function(response){
//use this response to build the second dropdown
}
})
});
I have a drop-down list inside a form
<form id="myForm">
<select>
<option>ABC</option>
<option>xyz</option>
</select>
</form>
When an item is clicked, I want the user to be directed to a new page (i.e. 'newPage.aspx'), and this page will display the chosen option, e.g. inside a label (Label1)
I also have the 2 options stored in an array ->
myArray = new Array("ABC", "xyz"), if that helps
jQuery it:
$('select','#myForm').change(function() {
document.location.href = "/newPage.aspx?value=" + $(this).val();
});
Better solution (submitting the form, more friendly to search engines) would be:
HTML:
<form id="myForm" method="get" action="newPage.aspx">
<select name="mySelect">
<option value="ABC">ABC</option>
<option value="xyz">xyz</option>
</select>
</form>
javascript:
$('select','#myForm').change(function() {
$('#myForm').submit();
});
Make your drop-down list an ASP.NET server control (since you're using aspx)
In your codebehind, get the selected value from the dropdown list
In your codebehind, Response.Redirect to the URL (newpage.aspx?value=ABC)
Currently untested, but I think this should work:
var sel = document.getElementById('myForm').getElementsByTagName('select')[0];
sel.onchange() = function(){
var val = this.getElementsByTagName('option')[this.selectedIndex],
url = 'http://newPage.aspx?option=',
queryUrl = url + encodeURIComponent(val);
window.location = queryUrl;
});
References:
document.getElementById().
element.getElmentsByTagName().
element.onchange().
encodeURIComponent().
window.location.
Very simple question I hope.
I have the usual <select> box like this
<select id="select">
<option value="1">this</option>
<option value="2">that</option>
<option value="3">other</option>
</select>
I can get the selected value (by using $("#select").val()) and the selected item's display value (by using $("#select :selected").text().
But how can I store like an additional value in the <option> tag? I would like to be able to do something like <option value="3.1" value2="3.2">other</option> and get the value of the value2 attribute (which would be 3.2 in the example).
HTML Markup
<select id="select">
<option value="1" data-foo="dogs">this</option>
<option value="2" data-foo="cats">that</option>
<option value="3" data-foo="gerbils">other</option>
</select>
Code
// JavaScript using jQuery
$(function(){
$('select').change(function(){
var selected = $(this).find('option:selected');
var extra = selected.data('foo');
...
});
});
// Plain old JavaScript
var sel = document.getElementById('select');
var selected = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex];
var extra = selected.getAttribute('data-foo');
See this as a working sample using jQuery here: http://jsfiddle.net/GsdCj/1/
See this as a working sample using plain JavaScript here: http://jsfiddle.net/GsdCj/2/
By using data attributes from HTML5 you can add extra data to elements in a syntactically-valid manner that is also easily accessible from jQuery.
To me, it sounds like you want to create a new attribute? Do you want
<option value="2" value2="somethingElse">...
To do this, you can do
$(your selector).attr('value2', 'the value');
And then to retrieve it, you can use
$(your selector).attr('value2')
It's not going to be valid code, but I guess it does the job.
I made two examples from what I think your question might be:
http://jsfiddle.net/grdn4/
Check this out for storing additional values. It uses data attributes to store the other value:
http://jsfiddle.net/27qJP/1/
HTML
<Select id="SDistrict" class="form-control">
<option value="1" data-color="yellow" > Mango </option>
</select>
JS when initialized
$('#SDistrict').selectize({
create: false,
sortField: 'text',
onInitialize: function() {
var s = this;
this.revertSettings.$children.each(function() {
$.extend(s.options[this.value], $(this).data());
});
},
onChange: function(value) {
var option = this.options[value];
alert(option.text + ' color is ' + option.color);
}
});
You can access data attribute of option tag with option.[data-attribute]
JS Fiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/shashank_p/9cqoaeyt/3/
