HTML - Choosing <select> Option And Not Just The First One In The List
hi guys,
I have a form with HTML Code: <select name="myOnClick" onChange="DoSubmission()"> <option value="1">Year 1 </option> <option value="2">Year 2</option> <option value="5">Year 5</option> <option value="10">Year 10</option> <option value="25">Year 25</option> </select> when the user clicks on one of these, it refreshes the page and updates a variable somewhere bsaed on the value. However when it refreshes the value showing is always Year 1. I want it to show the option they have just clicked. Anyone know the code that allows you to choose which one shows up? I can then use php to script which one is selected. TIA Similar TutorialsHow do I get the selected item from a select option list? I dont need the value I need the text associated with the value. I can get the value with (in vbscript): strValue = .mylist.value Have searched google exhaustively to see how to do this simple thing but have found nothing. Thanks. Hi: Problem with understanding/using the <select /> clause. I would like the page sent to the user (upon loading) to show the chosen location (i.e., a State of the USA) when I send an updated page with a specified 'Value' set: Here is an abbreviated portion of my Select Clause: <select name="homestate"> <option selected="selected" value="CA">Select State</option> /*note the 'CA*/ <option value="AK">Alaska</option> <option value="AR">Arkansas</option> <option value="CA">California</option> /* I want California to display */ </select> Note that my 'Value' above for the "selected" option is "CA" (for California). However, if I send this updated page to my user with *his* state as 'CA', it still shows as 'Select State' -- where I wish 'California' to display in the Select Default Box. Question: Is there some way that I can make the Select Clause bring up the word 'California' when it accesses the Value='CA' and so on with other 'value' choices ?? (or does this have to be done (somehow) with Javascript ?? Thanks for any guidance ! -Mel Smith Hello all, I have a stong question because i can't solve it.

Thanks for your effort to reply I have an option list and an iframe. My goal is to change the target source for the iFrame when I select and option from the list. I'm able to do this with normal links like this Code: <a href="video/video-page.html" target="VideoFrame">Video Page</a> But how can I do this with a option list? If i didn't plan on having 50+ different options I would just use normal links however this is not the case. Is it possible to do this?

Select list cannot be clicked in javascript to emulate that. eg: onmouseover="(this.click())" Also setting the 'size of select list' = 'its length' in javascript does not accurately emulate the click event because the adjacent layout changes. I tried using z-index and position attribute but doesn't help. Hi girls and guys, I have confront a problem regarding the select menu list.

When I style it with CSS it wont let me select any options! E.g if i float left or right(float:right; ) with CSS it wont work. Where as if I place it absolutely somewhere it will work.

I have also tried styling both classes contactlistdiv and contactlistone but it doesnt make a difference. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Is there a way to pass more than one value using the HTML option tag? I am using HTML and ASP together and so I need a first name variable and a last name variable from a DB2 table to be passed as well as show up together as one value in the drop-down box I have created (i.e. John Doe). As of right now I have figured out how to make it show in the drop-down box as John Doe however, I need the full name to be one value. Hope this makes sense! Thanks! Response.write "<option value=" & rs("FIRST_NM") & ">" & rs("FIRST_NM") & "</option> <option value=" & rs("LAST_NM") & ">" & rs("LAST_NM") & "</option>" How I could make a download option using HTML.
