I'm working with jQuery and a plugin called jQuery.SelectBox
I have 3 selectboxes, selecting an option in the first selectbox will change the options in the second one.
My problem comes when I try to insert values in the second selectbox via append function in jQuery. Everything works fine but the new options are not clickable.
You can see the problem right here: http://incubadora.gelattina.com/impac/galeria.html (scroll down and to the right), there are the three selectboxes.
From what I understand, you put in a normal select, and this does a dynamic creation of a stylized 'select box' via jQuery.
The problem, I would guess, is that, since you're adding items after the select box's initialization, the new items don't have any sort of action listeners on them.
I can't seem to find any documentation on this SelectBox plugin, but you need to find a way to Bind the click and hover actions provided by SelectBox onto you're newly added items.
You can try calling the .selectbox(); function on the select elements after you've added the new options to see if that works.
Hey I wrote a select box plugin called Selectzor, just for this reason.
It should accomplish everything you need.

I have developed my application using ExtJs 4.1. I have a combobox which gets populated using Ajax call. Once the comobox is populated, I need to find an item by name and then first the select event for that item.
The problem is the way combo-box is rendered by ExtJS. I am not sure how to select an item in the right manner. CombBox is not really a <select> element but a text input with a detached drop-down list that's somewhere at the bottom of the document tree.
I do not want to hard code the id's as ExtJS randomly generate the id.
This is how the generated HTML looks
You can check the example of ExtJs combobox here
Without testing, I would suggest,
var x = require("casper").selectXPath;
casper.thenClick(".x-form-trigger.x-form-arrow-trigger")
.wait(100)
.thenClick(x("//li[contains(#class,'x-boundlist-item') and contains(text(),'Alaska')]"))
.wait(100, function(){
this.capture("screenshot.png");
});
You might also need to move the mouse into position before clicking. Use
casper.then(function(){
this.mouse.move(selector)
});
Since you have the ComboBox in a form, you could use the "name" property in the ComboBox definition and select it with:
Ext.getCmp("idOfThePanel").down('form').getForm().findField('name');
Another option, use the "reference" property. In this case I'm not sure which is the correct way to select the ComoBox:
Ext.getCmp("idOfThePanel").down('form').getForm().lookupReference('reference');
or
Ext.getCmp("idOfThePanel").lookupReference('reference');
On my page, I have a form with three <select> drop down lists. All these lists use DropKick to make them look nice.
With DropKick added, the DDLs are no longer conventional lists and so cannot be accessed as such.
From what I've found, you can only call onchange by setting a class on the <form> tag and then using the following script:
function submitIt(){
alert('test');
}
$('.deviceChosen').dropkick({
change: submitIt
});
This works, and alert shows. But also doesn't work for a couple of big reasons.
The first <select> field is the only field that gets shown as a result. And everything else on the web page after that element gets removed from the page.
So what I have is three DDLs and I want to be able to set up a function that gets called when the deviceChosen id DDL gets changed. I don't want an onchange event for the other two lists.
Is this something that is doable?
I've tried things like the below, but it just will not work.
$('#deviceChosen').on('change', function() {
alert('dsf');
});
I couldn't get this working, so I ended up using selectBox instead

I am able to makeit work, you can use the below mentioned code for sample purpose.
$("#ID_OF_SELECT_TAG").dropkick({
change: function (value, label) {
//Logic that you want to apply onchange event.
}
});
Thanks
I am able to add a row with the dom but how can I get a div to display to the right of drop down depending on what is selected?
Here is an example of what I have so far: http://jsbin.com/#/afojid/1/edit
The first drop down is working correctly but the rest I would like to add when the button is clicked and I would like them to work the same way as the orginal drop down menu. So that if Asian is selected an add section will appear to the right, if Other is selected an other add section will appear to the right, and so on for each time the add button is clicked. I tried clone but I don't want anything to be selected when the add button is clicked
The fact that you're working with ids instead of classes more or less universally makes this very challenging. You should update your code to work with classes and appropriately clone the *Info tables when you create new dropdowns.
You're using an old version of jQuery, so .on is not available to you for delegation. Instead, use .delegate:
$(document).delegate('#typeofEthnicity,[id^=newDDMenu]', 'change', showEthnicity)
This will call the showEthnicity function for the original dropdown and any added dropdowns, but you also have to clone all of the *Info divs and put them in the appropriate spot in the table (I suppose the same spot as the appended row). If you use classes, then it's a simple matter of finding the dropdown's parent row and then locating the corresponding child with the appropriate class to be shown.
I've got a table with the type ahead feature from jQuery UI. It is working with my form when there is only 1 table row (initial view). There's a button to allow the user to create additional table rows as required which also increments the IDs for the text inputs and select menus.
There's another script that inserts a matching value into the select menu based on the typeahead selection. Both of these work fine for the first row, but stop working for any additional Rows that are created.
I've setup a sample JSFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/fmdataweb/hxzME/1/
I think I understand why they only work for the first row - they are tied to these IDs: #lastYearSelect1 and #nextYearSelect1 - but I'm not sure how to change them so they then work with #lastYearSelect2, #nextYearSelect2, #lastYearSelect3, #nextYearSelect3 and so on.
There's a few problems with the script.
Firstly you're right, you need to setup all the scaffolding again after you clone the row, the clone method will not copy the functionality, just the html elements.
To find the right element you can use the JQuery ^= selector, which matches the start of an attribute name, on the on the clone object to find the right child input to turn into an autocomplete field. You can do the same trick in the function to change the dropdown to the correct function.
Finally a lot of your code and variables were in the wrong scope to be accessible properly. I've moved a lot of the vars around so they're accessible, mainly into the global scope. When you're a bit more experienced you won't want to do this, but for now this is fine.
I also created a new function setDropDown, but this code is almost identical to what was there before.
Here is a working version of your code:

Add classes to elements and use class selectors when binding an event handlers.
I'm kind of new when it comes to programming but am trying to learn.
What I need to do for my site is have 2 or 3 linked drop-down menus so when I select an item from the first one, the second one will refresh with other options. I have found a way to do this using Java but I cannot seem to make it with the refresh div part.
I looked up prototypejs/updater but it is a bit over my head and cannot seem to link it with the JavaScript I used for the drop-down menus...
So if anyone can tell how I can link two, maybe 3 drop-down menus and after if I click an option from the last menu make a div from the page refresh with other content please help :)
Try a search on google for dynamic select boxes, it's plenty of examples, choose the less complicated one that best fits with your knowledge.
The principle is to link a function to "onchange" event that the select box fires when an item is selected.
Assuming this select box:
<select id="select1" name="option">
</select>
the javascript fragment is:
var sel1 = document.getElementById("select1");
sel1.onchange = function() {
//do whatever you want
};
For the first and the second select, the function will load other select's options, while in the third case it will show your div
Not 100% sure what you are after - but I think this should get you at least some of the way:
http://remysharp.com/2007/09/18/auto-populate-multiple-select-boxes/
It's a jQuery plugin for linking select boxes together, using Ajax to load the data to populate the next box in the chain based on the value selected in the previous.
You'll then still need to link the last box with the div - but you should be able to do it with a similar method yourself - see the jQuery Ajax documentation.
