HTML - Select Option And Input Text

Hey all!

I'm trying to set a predefined value in a <select> menu, that is to say, I want something to be highlighted before the user does anything.

I've tried the following:

<select name="test" size="2" value="x">
<option>x</option><option>y</option>
</select>

This does not work. Any advice would be great! Thanks for your time.

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

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?

Dear All,
I find that I can do that in firefox, ie 9, but not ie 8 and ie 7. anyone knows the answer.
HTML Code:

How 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.

I'm creating a form framed in a table. I want to have 2 textboxes and 1 select box in one row of the table. The Last Name, First Name and Age. When I create the row the fields are fine, but there's spacing after each field that I need to decrease in size to allow everything to fit correctly. Here's the code I have right now
Code:

<table summary="form" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
           <td>
               <input type="text" name="childlname" value="" size="20">
           </td>
           <td>
               <input type="text" name="childfname" value="" size="20">
           </td>
           <td>
               <select name="childage" align="right" width="5">
                   <option value="5">5</option>
                   <option value="6">6</option>
                   <option value="7">7</option>
               </select>
           </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

With the html tag <input type="file"/> is it possible to specify the folder which opens to select files from. I would like the pictures folder to open instead of the system root folder.

Hello
I want to make a popup input box like the prompt box but i want to costumize it- not just a line input for text but also a select option. how do i do this????
Thank you

Hi,

I have a select box with values 1, 2 and 3. When I select '1', I want right next to it 1 inputbox with id A. When I select '2', I want on the same place 2 inputboxes (with other IDs B and C), and so on ...

I tried
1) Putting the 3 spans immediately after the select box and switch visibility between hidden and visible accordingly. Problem he all spans take some space. So if I select 2, it shows me correctly the 2 inputboxes B and C, but there is an empty space between the select box and the inputboxes since the first span is there (invisible). I want the boxes immediately next to the select box.

2) Putting 3 spans (span1, span2, span3, containing 1 box, resp. 2 boxes and so on) somewhere invisible. And then using 1 span next to the select box. On change of choice: document.getElementById("span").value = document.getElementById("span2").value;
Problem he the boxes are not shown in span, just empty space.


Who has a Good solution?
Thanks alot

HI,

The following code

HTML Code:

<SELECT NAME="TEST">
 <OPTION>TEST     TEST</OPTION>
</SELECT>

renders an option with 'TEST TEST'. Even though there are more than 1 white spaces, only single white space is given. How can I over ride this default behavior?

Thanks in advance,
Chandu.

Hi,
I'm trying to make a text input in a form automatically focus when the page is loaded. I know i can't use onLoad directly in the input tag and, searching on the web, i found that i have to use onLoad on the body element - something like this:
<body OnLoad="document.myform.mytextfield.focus();">
The problem is i have multiple text inputs sharing the same name (they are cells in a table) so i can't use the input's name. But i do know it's the last element with that name (the last row in the table). So, how can i focus it? I hope you can help me, everything i tried didn't work.
Thank you.

Hi everyone,

What I am asking is more complicated than the thread title says. Can someone please tell me how, or post some code to show how I can make input fields with these properties:

1. Make text appear in an input field whilst off focus but dissapear whilst on focus, re-appear again if put back on focus.

2. The user can type text in the field and edit it and when the input field is off focus the text he wrote remains there.

3. If the user completely erases the text he wrote and puts the input field off focus the default text (stated in 1.) re-appears.

4. Make a password input field without the default text (1.) being displayed as stars (hidden charaters) with same features as 1. , 2. , and 3. ofcourse.

Can anyone please help me?...

Hello.... I have a problem today and I do not know how to over come this problem. If this is in the wrong place, please tell me and I will put it in the right place.
Anyway. Today I am trying to make a webpage, where the user, the admin, is able to edit the page to input text. Almost like when you make a blog post and you have a text box and you type what you want and you click submit or post and it goes onto a page. Almost like wordpress. I want to make a custom page from the ground up where there are different divisions of the page and the admin can input or edit text/pictures at anytime.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have yet another problem which i think an intermediate php programmer can solve. Since I am very new, please bear with me:

I want to try to make a page where the user can input a number of rows to create (this is going to be integrated into mysql), and be able to input the information on the same page. I have not developed the code yet because I could not think of a solution for this, which is why I made tihs thread. I hope you can also answer questions in the [ ] box because im also at a loss the

So I want the user to choose the following:
"New Entry" or "Old Entry"?[I was thinking these are submit buttons.. makes most sense]
"How many Entries?: " user enters 3 and presses submit box [1. should this be a submit box, or another kind?]

this is the hard part. I want the user to enter 3, and i want three new text boxes to show up where the user can input data, and just one submit button on the same screen. this i believe will use a forloop after it reads what the user entered
so here is the question [question 2]: Can anyone tell me how to create a textbox inside <?php ?> where I can ask the user to input the information and click submit?
so far I have only been able to do it in html.
