How do I add the attribute "selected" to a drop down menu option based on that option matching some variable?
Here is how the dropdown is populated...
loginOptions = ["First", "Second", "Third"];
var Login = $( '#Login' );
for ( var i = 0; i < loginOptions.length; i++ ) {
Login.append('<option value="'+ loginOptions[i] +'">'+ loginOptions[i] +'</option>');
}
I want to mark one option as "selected" based on whether or not its value matches another variable. so if loginOption[i] is equal to var existingLoginValue then set that option to 'selected'
Something that would do
if(loginOptions[i] === existingLoginValue){ print 'selected'; };
Thanks!
I'd use .val() at the end of your method, this sets based on value, like this:
$('#Login').val(existingLoginValue);
Similarly, to get the value, call it without any parameters like this:
var currentValue = $('#Login').val();
If you only want to do one value then yeah, the val() works. Otherwise, you can also do this:
$option=$('<option value="'+ loginOptions[i] +'">'+ loginOptions[i]+'</option>').appendTo(Login);
if (loginOptions[i] == existingLoginValue) {
$option.attr('selected',true)
}
er, someone pointed out this doesn't really make sense since that would imply multiple options with the same value. I meant to write something like this:
existingLoginValues = ['foo','bar']
$option=$('<option value="'+ loginOptions[i] +'">'+ loginOptions[i]+'</option>').appendTo(Login);
if (existingLoginValues.indexOf(loginOptions[i]) != -1) {
$option.attr('selected',true)
}
the indexOf function is supported in most browsers except (of course) IE6. See "Best way to find an item in a JavaScript Array?"
Use
$('#Login').selectedIndex = i

This is my fiddle : DEMO
I am adding the template ID read-only fields, based on selection of option. 1 for SMS, 2 for email etc..
Since there is a provision to add new category, how to dynamically add template IDs to newly added options?
//Adding Template ID based on option
$('#categoryevent').on('click', function() {
$('.actionConfig').empty();
var z = $("#categoryevent option:selected").text();
if (z == 'sms') {
var smsConfig = '<div class=form-group><label class="col-sm-2 control-label"for=templateId>Template ID: </label><div class=col-sm-8><input class=form-control id=templateId name=templateId value="1" readonly="readonly"></div></div>';
$('.actionConfig').append(smsConfig);
}
});
Instead of checking for the textual representation of the option, you should check for the value attribute. Since you did not add the value attributes yet for the options you hardcoded, you will have to do this as well, i.e. change:
<option>SMS</option>
to
<option value="0">SMS</option>
Alternatively, if you don't want to use the standard value attribute (e.g. because you want to avoid default beheviour) you can instead go for <option data-selectionId="1">SMS</option>. Obviously increment the id for each option you have in your select.
Now if you create a new option, you will have to set this data:
var val = $("#new-option-event").val().trim();
var opt = '<option value="'+ globalCounterVariable +'">' + val + '</option>';
globalCounterVariable += 1;
$('#categoryevent').append(opt);
$('#categoryevent').val(val);
$('#new-option-event').val('');
You will have to define a global veriable (actually outside of the scope of the .addevent handler is enough) that you initially will have to set to 3 (the number of hardcoded options).
Now you can do this:
$('#categoryevent').on('change', function() {
var selection = $(this).val(); //this is reference to the changed element, i.e. the select with Id 'categoryeveny'.
var html = '<div class="form-group"><label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="templateId">Template ID: </label><div class="col-sm-8"><input class="form-control" id="templateId" name="templateId" readonly="readonly"></div></div>';
$(html).find("input").val(selection);
$(".actionConfig").empty();
$('.actionConfig').append(html);
});
Note how I removed the need for all the if clauses, because you did the same logic each branch. Simply parameterize whatever you want to inject and this is all you need.
If you want to show different values for each selection (so different data than 1,2,3,... etc), you will have to either make that an option in the input where you create a new option, or hardcode generic logic in the change event, where you decide what content is shown based on the value of selection.
Welcome to SO,
you can do something like this,
Set value of option as Template-Id 1,2,3 now when you add new category maintain counter and add it as value of newly added option.
Now keep other things same just get template id from option value.
something like this,
var opval = get option value here..
var smsConfig = '<div class=form-group><label class="col-sm-2 control-label"for=templateId>Template ID: </label><div class=col-sm-8><input class=form-control id=templateId name=templateId value="+opval+" readonly="readonly"></div></div>';
$('.actionConfig').append(smsConfig);
Hope this helps.
Edit:
answer jsfiddle
Here is the answer fiddle : DEMOanswer
$('#categoryevent').on("click", function(ev) {
// alert(ev.target.selectedIndex);
var value = ev.target.selectedIndex;
$('.actionConfig').empty();
var z = $("#categoryevent option:selected").text();
z = z.toLowerCase();
var templateId = '<div class=form-group><label class="col-sm-2 control-label"for=templateId>Template ID: </label><div class=col-sm-8><input class=form-control id=templateId value="' + value + '" name=templateId readonly="readonly"></div></div>';
$('.actionConfig').append(templateId);
});
I am creating a drop down dynamically after an ajax all and populating the fields. I am also calling jquery.data() to set some attribute which I want in future.
HTML
<input id="test" type="text" list="mylist"/>
<datalist id="mylist"></datalist>
JS
$(function() {
// assume this data is coming from ajax call
var data = [{
"name": "John",
"id": 1
}, {
"name": "Jane",
"id": 2
}, {
"name": "Judie",
"id": 3
}];
var generateDropDown = function(data) {
var datalist = $('#mylist');
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var value = data[i].name + ' => ' + data[i].id;
$('<option>', {
'class': 'myclass'
})
.val(value)
.data('extra', {
'newid': data[i] * 100
})
.appendTo(datalist);
}
};
generateDropDown(data);
$('.myclass').on('select', function(selected) {
console.log($(selected).data('extra'));
console.log($(this).data('extra'));
});
});
Here is the JSFiddle
My requirement is to access the selected value from drop down along with the data attribute i have added. How can I do that ?
I tried the 2 console.log options as mentioned above but they dont print anything.
In comparison to HTMLSelectElement object, HTMLDataListElement object doesn't have selectedIndex property, so it seems you have to filter the options for getting the possible selected option.
$('#test').on('change', function (/* event */) {
var val = this.value;
var data = $(this.list.options).filter(function() {
return this.value === val;
}).data('extra');
});
Here is a demo.
Also note that data[i] * 100 results in a NaN (Not a Number) value as you are multiplying an object by a number and it doesn't make any sense!
When using a datalist, think of it as just a list of suggestions for the user. The user can type whatever he/she wants. The option elements are not related to the actual selected value which is stored in the textbox. If you must use a datalist, then use an event on the textbox and select the option based on the value. Something like:
$('#test').on('change', function(selected) {
alert($("#mylist option[value='"+$(this).val()+"']").data('extra'));
});
This takes the textbox value and finds the associated datalist option. However, if I type some random gibberish, it won't and can't work since no corresponding option exists. The alternative is to use a select which forces the user to choose one of the options in the list.
If you want a select, take a look at https://jsfiddle.net/tscxyw5m/
Essentially now we can do:
$("#mylist").on('change', function() {
alert($(this).find("option:selected").data("extra"));
});
Because now the options are actually associated with the select.
Also note I think you meant:
'newid': data[i].id * 100
Not
'newid': data[i] * 100
Which yields NaN.
DEMO: https://jsfiddle.net/erkaner/9yb6km6a/21/
When you try to get the value of the selected item, you need to search through the options in the page and bring the option item that matches with the value in the input field:
$("#test").bind('input', function () {
alert($('body')
.find(
'option[value*="' + $(this).val() + '"]'
).data('extra').newid);
});
I want to implement a search box same as this, at first, just first dropdown list is active once user selects an option from the first dropbox, the second dropdown box will be activated and its list will be populated.
<s:select id="country" name="country" label="Country" list="%{country} onchange="findCities(this.value)"/>
<s:select id="city" name="city" label="Location" list=""/>
Jquery chained plugin will serve your purpose,
https://plugins.jquery.com/chained/
usage link - http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/chained
this plugin will chain your textboxes.
Try this code where based on your needs you have to populate it with your options:
var x;
$('#pu-country').on('change', function () {
if (this.value != '0') {
$('#pu-city').prop('disabled', false);
$('#pu-city').find("option").not(":first").remove();
$('#pu-location').prop('disabled', true);
$('#pu-location').val("Choose");
switch (this.value) {
case 'A':
x = '<option value="A.1">A.1</option><option value="A.2">A.2</option><option value="A.3">A.3</option>'
}
$('#pu-city').append(x)
} else {
$('#pu-location').prop('disabled', true);
$('#pu-location').val("Choose");
$('#pu-city').prop('disabled', true);
$('#pu-city').val("Choose");
}
});
$('#pu-city').on('change', function () {
if (this.value != '0') {
$('#pu-location').prop('disabled', false);
$('#pu-location').find("option").not(":first").remove();
switch (this.value) {
case 'A.1':
x = '<option value="A.1.1">A.1.1</option><option value="A.1.2">A.1.2</option><option value="A.1.3">A.1.3</option>'
break;
case 'A.2':
x = '<option value="A.2.1">A.2.1</option><option value="A.2.2">A.2.2</option><option value="A.2.3">A.2.3</option>'
break;
case 'A.3':
x = '<option value="A.3.1">A.3.1</option><option value="A.3.2">A.3.2</option><option value="A.3.3">A.3.3</option>'
break;
}
$('#pu-location').append(x)
} else {
$('#pu-location').prop('disabled', true);
$('#pu-location').val("Choose");
}
});
I have also set up and a demo to see the functionallity with more options.
FIDDLE
Your code should be something like this:
$(country).change(function(){
var l=Document.getElementByID("country");
for(i=0;i<=l.length;i++)
{
if(l.options[i].selected?)
{
text_array=[HERE YOU NEED TO ADD THE CITIES OF l.options[i].text];
val_array=[HERE YOU NEED TO ADD THE VALUES OF THECITIES OF l.options[i].text];
}
}
var c=Document.getElementByID("city");
c.options.text=[];
c.options.value=[];
//You now should have an empty select.
c.options.text=text_array ;
c.options.value=val_array ;
});
As I don't know, what kind of DB you use, to have the cities connected to their countrys, I can't tell you, what to put into the uppercase text...
Ciao j888, in this fiddle i tried to reconstruct the same system as the site you provided the link
the number of states cityes and locality is less but the concept remains the same
If you want to add a new state you must enter a new html options in select#paese with an id.
Then you have add in obj.citta a property with this id name and an array of cityes for a value.
The same thing for obj.localita where you will create an array of arrays.
The jQuery code you need is
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var obj={
citta:{ //value is the same of option id
albania:['Durres','Tirana'],
austria:['Vienna','innsbruck','Graz'],
},
localita:{//for every city create a sub array of places
albania:[['località Durres1','località Durres 2'],['località Tirana','località Tirana 2']],
austria:[['località Vienna','località Vienna 2'],['località innsbruck','località innsbruck 2'],['località Graz','località Graz 2','località Graz 3']],
}
}
$('#paese').on('change',function(){
$('#località').attr('disabled','disabled').find('option').remove()
var quale=$(this).find('option:selected').attr('id')
var arr=obj.citta[quale]
if(arr){
$('#citta').removeAttr('disabled')
$('#citta option.added').remove()
for(i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
$('<option class="added">'+arr[i]+'</option>').appendTo('#citta')
}
}
})
$('#citta').on('change',function(){
var ind=($(this).find('option:selected').index())-1
var quale=$('#paese').find('option:selected').attr('id')
var arr=obj.localita[quale][ind]
if(arr){
$('#località').removeAttr('disabled')
$('#località option.added').remove()
for(i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
$('<option class="added">'+arr[i]+'</option>').appendTo('#località')
}
}
})
})
</script>
If this solution does not suit your needs, i apologize for making you lose time.
Hi i have done this for license and its dependent subject in yii 1.
The license dropdown
//php code
foreach($subject as $v) {
$subj .= $v['licenseId'] . ":" . $v['subjectId'] . ":" . $v['displayName'] . ";";
}
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('variables', 'var subj = "' . $subj . '";', CClientScript::POS_HEAD);
?>
//javascript code
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
//subject. dependent dropdown list based on licnse
var ty, subjs = subj.split(';'), subjSel = []; //subj register this varible from php it is
for(var i=0; i<subjs.length -1; i++) { //-1 caters for the last ";"
ty = subjs[i].split(":");
subjSel[i] = {licId:ty[0], subjId:ty[1], subjName:ty[2]};
}
//dropdown license
jQuery('#license#').change(function() {
$('#add').html(''); //clear the radios if any
val = $('input[name="license"]:checked').val();
var selectVals = "";
selectVals += '<select>';
for(var i=0; i<subjSel.length; i++) {
if(subjSel[i].licId == val) {
if(subjSel[i].subjId *1 == 9) continue;
selectVals += '<option value="'+subjSel[i].subjId+'">'+subjSel[i].subjName+'</option>';
}
}
selectVals += '</select>';
$("#subject").html(selectVals);
});
});
You seem to be asking two questions:
QUESTION 1. How to have a disabled select box (the second and third select boxes in the case of your example) which is activated upon the selection of an option from the first select box.
ANSWER 1:
simply use the disabled=true/false as below...
<select id="country" name="country" label="Country" onchange="document.getElementById('city').disabled=false; findCities(this.value)"/>
<select id="city" name="city" label="Location" disabled=true/>
NOTE: I changed "s:select" to "select" on the basis that your question does not make reference or tag the Struts framework that uses this syntax.
QUESTION 2: How to populate the second select box when a selection is made in the first.
ANSWER 2: There are many ways to do this, and the choice depends on where you have the data to populate the lists with. In the case of your Rentalcars example, if you chose Barbados, the browser sends an ajax GET request to "http://www.rentalcars.com/AjaxDroplists.do;jsessionid=5DCBF81333A88F37BC7AE15D21E10C41.node012a?country=Barbados&wrapNonAirports=true" -try clicking on this link and you will see what that request is sending back. This '.do' address is a server side file of a type used with the Struts framework I mentioned above.
A more conventional approach, which would be included in your function findCities(country)would be to send an AJAX request to a PHP script which queries a database and sends back an array of place names to the browser. The AJAX javascript code includes instructions as to what to do with the response. Without knowing more about where you want to store your list, giving an example of this would most likely not be useful.
Alternatively, the whole list of places could be included in the javascript script as an array (as demonstarated by Devima, above), in a text document on the server as comma separated values, or you could save it to a browser database like WebSQL or IndexedDB if offline use would be useful.
When you have got your list, probably as an array of values, you could save the array as a variable eg. var cities=result (in the case of a simple ajax request). You will then need to iterate through cities, for example
for (var i = 0; i < cities.length; i++){
var place=cities[i];//an individual city name
document.getElementById("city").innerHTML+="<option value='" + place + "'>" + place + "</option>";//adds an 'option' with the value being the city name and the text you see being the city name
}
IMO this is the base case AngularJS was designed to completely alleviate. Check it out!
Community, I have a select drop down which is trying to pass two variables to javascript. The first variable is (source_id) and the second is (source_flag).
My select looks like the following...
<select id="ticket_source" name="ticket_source" onchange="showEmail(this)">
<option value="">Select Source</option>
I use query to populate remaining options.
$get_sources = mysql_query("select source_id, source_name, source_flag from ticket_source order by source_name ASC");
while(($source_list = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_sources)))
{
echo '<option value="'.$source_list['source_id'].'" data-flag="'.$source_list['source_flag'].'">'.$source_list['source_name'].'</option>
}
<option value="0">Other</option>
</select>';
My javascript will make a hidden div appear. I'm trying to obtain the value stored in the data-flag attribute, and I'm not quite sure if there is a certain route to do that.
function showEmail(element)
{
var id = element.value;
var divTwo = document.getElementById("ticket_source");
var flag = divTwo.getAttribute('data-flag');
alert(flag);
// Do something with flag...
var div = document.getElementById("received");
if(id == 2 || id == 3 || id == 5)
{
div.style.display = 'block';
}
else
{
div.style.display = 'none';
}
}
How about this in pure javascript
var flag =document.getElementById('ticket_source').options[select.selectedIndex].data-flag;
or
var flag =element.options[element.selectedIndex].data-flag;
var flag =element.options[element.selectedIndex].getAttribute('data-flag');
See Fiddle Here
Try this:
var flag = document.querySelector('#ticket_source').dataset.flag; // using javascript
var flag = $('#ticket_source').data('flag'); // using jquery
JSBIN Link: http://jsbin.com/ujiday/228/
In modern browsers you could do this
document.getElementById('myThing').dataset.flag
However, that won't work in non-HTML5 compliant browsers, so you'd want to use getAttribute like you've done in your code above.
Alternatively if you're using jQuery, Mohit Pandey's answer would be good.
Edit: Looking at your code, it also looks like you're trying to pull the data value from the select box, while in your PHP you're adding it to the options, which would explain why it was returning null/undefined.
Made a fiddle (using jQuery)
http://jsfiddle.net/QAsgN/
I created a div and a button. when the button clicked, there will be a group of element(included 1 select box and 2 text inputs) inserted into the div. User can add as many group as they can, when they finished type in data of all the group they added, he can hit save button, which will take the value from each group one by one into the JSON object array. But I am stuck in the part how to get the value from each group, so please help, thank you.
The code for the div and the add group button function -- AddExtra() are listed below:
<div id="roomextra">
</div>
function AddExtra() {
$('#roomextra').append('<div class=extra>' +
'<select id="isInset">' +
'<option value="Inset">Inset</option>' +
'<option value="Offset">OffSet</option>' +
'</select>' +
'Length(m): <input type="text" id="insetLength">' +
'Width(m): <input type="text" id="insetWidth">' +
'Height(m): <input type="text" id="insetHeight">' +
'</div>');
}
function GetInsetOffSetArray (callBack) {
var roomIFSDetail = [{
"IsInset": '' ,
"Length": '' ,
"Width": '' ,
"Height": ''
}];
//should get all the value from each group element and write into the array.
callBack(roomIFSDetail);
}
This should just about do it. However, if you're dynamically creating these groups, you'll need to use something other than id. You may want to add a class to them or a data-* attribute. I used a class, in this case. Add those classes to your controls so we know which is which.
var roomIFSDetail = [];
var obj;
// grab all of the divs (groups) and look for my controls in them
$(.extra).each(function(){
// create object out of select and inputs values
// the 'this' in the selector is the context. It basically says to use the object
// from the .each loop to search in.
obj = {
IsInset: $('.isInset', this).find(':selected').val() ,
Length: $('.insetLength', this).val() ,
Width: $('.insetWidth', this).val() ,
Height: $('.insetHeight', this).val()
};
// add object to array of objects
roomIFSDetail.push(obj);
});
you'd better not to use id attribute to identity the select and input, name attribute instead. for example
$('#roomextra').append('<div class=extra>' +
'<select name="isInset">' +
'<option value="Inset">Inset</option>' +
'<option value="Offset">OffSet</option>' +
'</select>' +
'Length(m): <input type="text" name="insetLength">' +
'Width(m): <input type="text" name="insetWidth">' +
'Height(m): <input type="text" name="insetHeight">' +
'</div>');
}
and then, usr foreach to iterate
$(".extra").each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
var isInset = $this.find("select[name='isInset']").val();
var insetLength = $this.find("input[name='insetLength']").val();
// ... and go on
});
A common problem. A couple things:
You can't use IDs in the section you're going to be repeating, because IDs in the DOM are supposed to be unique.
I prefer to use markup where I'm writing a lot of it, and modify it in code rather than generate it there.
http://jsfiddle.net/b9chris/PZ8sf/
HTML:
<div id=form>
... non-repeating elements go here...
<div id=roomextra>
<div class=extra>
<select name=isInset>
<option>Inset</option>
<option>OffSet</option>
</select>
Length(m): <input id=insetLength>
Width(m): <input id=insetWidth>
Height(m): <input id=insetHeight>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JS:
(function() {
// Get the template
var container = $('#roomextra');
var T = $('div.extra', container);
$('#addGroup').click(function() {
container.append(T.clone());
});
$('#submit').click(function() {
var d = {};
// Fill d with data from the rest of the form
d.groups = $.map($('div.extra', container), function(tag) {
var g = {};
$.each(['isInset', 'insetLength', 'insetWidth', 'insetHeight'], function(i, name) {
g[name] = $('[name=' + name + ']', tag).val();
});
return g;
});
// Inspect the data to ensure it's what you wanted
debugger;
});
})();
So the template that keeps repeating is written in plain old HTML rather than a bunch of JS strings appended to each other. Using name attributes instead of ids keeps with the way these elements typically work without violating any DOM constraints.
You might notice I didn't quote my attributes, took the value attributes out of the options, and took the type attributes out of the inputs, to keep the code a bit DRYer. HTML5 specs don't require quoting your attributes, the option tag's value is whatever the text is if you don't specify a value attribute explicitly, and input tags default to type=text if none is specified, all of which adds up to a quicker read and slimmer HTML.
Use $(".extra").each(function() {
//Pull info out of ctrls here
});
That will iterate through all of your extra divs and allow you to add all values to an array.
