HTML - Option Selected Help
I have a drop down menu that changes the page when one of the options is selected. When I select an option, I want that option to become the selected option. Here is some example code.
<select class="select" name="Gender" onchange="submit()"> <option value="">Gender</option> <option value="0">Female</option> <option value="1">Male</option> </select> If I select "Female" I want that option to be selected when the page reloads. Now the menu resets to "Gender" every time the page reloads. Thanks Similar TutorialsHi all. I have a page that the select box is not selecting the option when selected is put in there. Here is the code. Any help you have is appreciated =) Thank you =) Light and Love and Healing to you, -Patrick Arden McNally Code: <html> <head> <title>DULUTH Music Scene</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"

having trouble getting firefox to preselect an option using selected in the option tag. It's in a php app, but I've made a simple test in just html and it displays the same behaviour. Does the following code work right for anyone else with firefox 3? Code: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" /> </head> <body> <form> <p>display email? <select name="display_email" size="2"> <option value="no">no</option> <option selected="selected" value="yes">yes</option> </select> </form> </body> </html> I've also tried just 'selected', and selected="yes" but to no avail. Thanks 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 want to put color in my option box.. How can i do it? thanks =D <html> <bgcolor="black"> <select size="1" name="D1" > <option selected>Punk</option> <option>Sum 41</option> <option>GoodCharlot</option> <option>My Chemical Romance</option> <option>Green Day</option> <option>Blink 182</option> <option>The All American Rejects</option> <option>The offspring</option> <option>30 seconds to mars</option> <option>Tokio Hotel</option> </select> </html> I have a drop down box with a few items that can be selected. <select name="id_products" id="id_products"> <option value="CHOOSE ONE">CHOOSE ONE...</option> <option value="Bundle 1">Bundle #1 ($5795)</option> <option value="Bundle 2">Bundle #2 ($5495)</option> <option value="Bundle 3">Bundle #3 ($5295)</option> </select> When an item is selected and the Submit button is clicked, the form POSTS to FormMail.php which sends me an email with the value of "id_products". What I want to do is to expand on what the "Bundles" are before sending by email. For example, if "Bundle 2" is selected, then "id_products" equals "Bundle 2". I want to check what "id_products" is before sending this off to the FormMail.php and change it to something more descriptive, like: If id_products = "Bundle 2" then id_products = "Mustang $495 Pinto $23 Chevy $1200" So instead of receiving for id_products "Bundle 2" by email, I get... Mustang $495 Pinto $23 Chevy $1200 ... instead. Can this be done? Thanks.

Hey all! 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).

Thanks in advance So I have code that opens a file input dialog box where a person can pick an image to upload. Once an image is selected, I want the image to appear on the web page. The problem is, I dont know how to show the image, because the source is unknown. After the user selects the image from the dialog box, is there any way to show it? <input type="file" name="diagram" size="40"> <img src=( what do I put here to show the image that was selected ) align="right" style="padding-right:10px" alt="dataFlowDiagram" /> Hi there, I am using dreamweaver to make this website and I have got a little problem. I have got this template which has a top nav bar, and if it is selected it has a class="current" for CSS. I am using it in a template so when one updates they all do. This is where the problem occurs. I cannot set each one to current on the nav bar. I could make the nav bar and editable region, however I dont want to, as then if I update it, it wont up date any of the others. Is there a way to do a sort of IF statment saying if the url equals www.mydomain.com/aboutus.html class equals current? Thanks. Josh Hi all, I have various anchors on my web-pages that do not actually load new pages..so they look like: Code: <a href="javascript:return false;" onclick="doSomething();">foobar</a> problem is, when a user clicks the anchor the anchor becomes 'selected' showing a box around the anchor..which I do not want..I'm no HTML/CSS guru and have no idea to fix it so that when anchor is 'selected' it does not 'show the box around it'..any tips on what I can do? (I suppose I could try and change it to use spans instead of anchors, but..then the 'mouse cursor' does not change properly when users hover over the anchor). ps. the website url: www.borrownet.com every menu link has this issue. Hi, If one were to choose an option from a drop down, is there any way to immediately show either a textbox or some sort of input method next to the option? Ive seen this done on facebook, but i am not sure what type of language its using. an example is like this: How Many Links?: <select name="links"> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> </select><br><br> if the user chooses drop down option 3, then immediately there would be 3 textboxes for the user to submit the website links.. thanks Hello all, I have a stong question because i can't solve it. I want to creat a drop down list with images beside each row. Usualy on clasic html is something like this: select ... option value /option /select But i want a small image (icon) beside each option from select. See for example: http://www.scrigroup.com/afaceri/con...ate/index7.php on the top page see a clasic select. How can i change it to icon seclect on each option? Thanks for your effort to reply Preface: Aside from an angelfire webpage back in the 90's I have very little HTML experience. I am now trying to create a webpage and server on an 8-bit microcontroller. Because of memory limitations, I need to keep my entire page in one packet (~1500 bytes, including headers, et al). To avoid unnecessary overhead in the server, I do not want to use Code: <header><meta http-equiv="refresh"content=30;url=http://... Instead, I would like to put a refresh button on the page for users to hit when they want to check for any changes to the page. I have tested two options that both seem to work (tested in IE9, Firefox, Chrome). Option 1: An actual button Code: <form><input type=button value="Refresh"onClick="window.location.reload()"></form> Option 2: Just a simple link to the page with the word Refresh Code: <a href="http://www.....">Refresh</a> Question: I am not looking for the fanciest solution here -- just the most reliable. That said, I would prefer the button solution over the hyperlink solution. Is there any danger that Option 1 may not work in some cases in some browsers? Will both/either force the browser to go out and get the page again (rather than load from cache)? I have taken over a website that has font size option. and now that i added some text, the text will not change when i use the font size option buttons on the left. anyone have any thoughts? http://www.aacwinnip...enda_Sklar.html 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 Hi All! I'm using the Option Group/ optgroup/ Select features within a form and would like to initially display all options without having to click the arrow button to "reveal" the selections. I can't seem to find the option to allow this. Of course I can switch to a hyperlinked list, but have made extensive Option Group and would like to continue to use them. Thanks in advance!! I want to rebuild a website, and I want to have a button that gives people the option of three background color choices. How can I do that? |
