HTML - <label> & <select> Problem
I have a <select> drop down list. I have a label associated with this element. Here is the code;
<select name="v" id="v" value="0" size="1"> <option>0</option> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> </select> <label for="v">No. required</label><br /> The problem is that when the user clicks on the text of the label, the value in the <select> list is changed back to 0. For example, the user selects 3 using the drop down list. Then if the user ever clicks on the label's text, this value returns to 0. How can I stop this from happening and maintain the initially diisplayed value of the <select> list as 0? Similar Tutorialsi have added dropdown list and associated label with it and i want to know the value for label and the value selected in dropdown list. How can I access both values inside javascript? can anybody help? Hi, I'm a HTML newbie (have some programming experience though), so please forgive me if my question is maybe unclear or naive. I've managed to build a newsletter that displays nicely in the most-used webmail clients and offline clients. For personalization I can add form fields (like: name) to the html code that graphicmail will fill with the indivual recipient's data (like: Bob) on sending out the newsletter. To add an "Unsubscribe" link to the newsletter, graphicmail recommends to insert this code: <DIV><LABEL class=FormField data="Unsubscribe">Unubscribe</LABEL></DIV> This results in a simple: Unsubscribe text in the newsletter. If the reader clicks on it, the unsubscribe webpage is opened. I would like to achive the same functionality but with something different than the LABEL tag, since this plain text "Unsubscribe" doesn't fit the design of the newsletter. Ideally I'd like to be able to use an image that when clicked provides the same functionality as the label tab does. Sorry for the confused description. Thanks for your help. Mark Afternoon everyone, I have a table with many rows and a checkbox in the first cell of each row. I want the user to be able to click anywhere on the row and activate the checkbox, so I'm using a label tag in front of each row. The following code works in IE7, but not Firefox or Chrome. Any ideas how to make it work cross-browser? Code: <table> <label for="X"> <tr> <td> <input type="checkbox" id="X"/> </td> <td> THIS TEXT SHOULD ACTIVATE THE LEFT CHECKBOX </td> </tr> </label> </table> Thanks! Hi, I know the label element is for associating a text label with a control, and that when you click it the control gets focus. But is that its only purpose? Is it supposed to be used for describing a more general semantic relationship. In particular can/should/is it intended to be used to associate key value pairs to describe a semantic relationship sort of like <dt> <dd>? For example say I have a listing of key values pairs from say a config file. Should I do this: <label for="val0">screenheight:</label><span id="val0">7560</span> I dont know, maybe I should use <dt> <dd> and re-style with CSS? Or maybe thats what the ":" is for(!) and I dont need to express this in HTML (Thinking about the boundary between presentation and semantics makes my crazy, its very fuzzy in my opinion). Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks. Is there a way to dynamically create text in html/jsp based on a value the user chooses? I have the following code in a jsp and based on the value of the returntype that the user chooses. The value SSN: has to change to SSN/FEIN: depending on what is choosen in the return type drop down (note, the change has to be in the text and not the inputType field). Is there an easy way to do this? Here is the form code... <form action="CompareData" method="post"> <center> <table cellspacing="5" border="0"> <col width=450> <tr> <td align = "LEFT" colspan=2><b>Please enter the parameters below to retrieve the information:</b></td> </tr> </table> </center> <center> <table cellspacing="5" border="0"> <col width=200> <col width=100> <tr> <td align = "LEFT"><b>SSN:</b></td> <td><input type="text" name = "SSN" value="000000000" ></td> </tr> <tr> <td align = "LEFT"><b>End Year:</b></td> <td><input type="text" name = "ENDYEAR" value="2007" ></td> </tr> <tr> <td align = "LEFT"><b>Num of Years:</b></td> <td><input type="text" name = "NUMYEARS" value="2" ></td> </tr> <tr> <td align = "LEFT"><b>Return Type:</b></td> <td> <select name="ReturnTypeDropDown" > <option value="WI">WI</option> <option value="IRS">IRS</option> <option value="Informational">Informational</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="RETURNTYPE" value="" ></td> <td><input type="button" value="Retrieve" onClick="validate(this.form)"></td> </tr> </table> </center> </form> 2 Quick questions: 1) Is it considered good, poor, or indifferent programming style to implicitly connect labels with other form tags. For instance, is one of these preferable to the other? Code: <label for="username">Username</label> <input type="text" name="username" id="username" /> <label>Username: <input type="text" name="username" id="username" /></label> 2) Is it good or bad programming style to have the name and id of a tag the same? For instance, in the example above, the input object has an id and name of "username". Is this considered ok? Tahnks for all the help~ How do I place a label for a radio button above the radio button? Good day guy's. Im very new to html programming and scripting, but I was wondering if it would be possabe to insurt a dynamic label field in you body where to content must be fetch from a notepad or wordpad ( /docs/someting.txt ) Thanks I have a select list on my site that has around 12 entries in it. The problem is that every 5 entries there is a white space entered into the list that I do not want to be there. The only white space I wanted was the very first option I wanted to be white space for a default not entered option in the select list. Does anyone know how to make this problem go away? I have a select box with restricted width, due to page layout, and the options listed are wider than the select box. This displays fine in Firefox, because as you open the drop-down the options are displayed full-length. However, IE cuts off the option text at the width of the select box. Consider this example: HTML Code: <html> <head></head> <body> <select name="mySelect" style="width:160px;"> <option>This is a really long select box option</option> </select> </body> </html> Is there a way to get IE to display the entire text? Thanks! Hi: I have a 'Select' Box with approx 60 options to select from. Problem (in IE6 and IE7): When I click on the button to open up the list of options, the list shoots to the top of my monitor screen instead of opening up *below* the input postition on the screen. This does not happen on FireFox or Safari --- only IE (6 and 7) Question: Is there anything I can do to correct this behavior. Thank you. -Mel Smith Hi, I have one select box and for that 30 options are there, but i need to display only 5 with vertical scroll bars when user clicks on select box. How is it possible? Please help. 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 Dear All, I find that I can do that in firefox, ie 9, but not ie 8 and ie 7. anyone knows the answer.

Please solve this ..Very Urgent..... Thanks in advance.... ---------- JP. Hi all, I'm trying to make a select choose the text that shows on the page (blue rectangle). Also, when i click the text, it's supposed to copy to some other part of the page. It works when i load the page, but when I change the item in the select, it stops working, and I'm not sure why. Any guesses?

I have two <select>, and, depending on what the user selects in the first one changes the options in the second. For example is the 1st <select> is HONDA, the 2nd <select> will automatically become a list of: ACCORD, CIVIC, etc. But it the 1st is FORD, the 2nd automatically has a list of F-150, MUSTANG, etc -- when the user views it. Is this done in just HTML or do I need a different scripting? If so, would you tell me where I should look? Much appreciated! Good morning! I have a problem with a couple of select boxes. I need more than one, due to the size of the list, but I want it so if they choose an option in the first box, then choose an option in the second box, it will deselect the option in the first one. So for example, if these are nested side by side in a table... <td width="20%"><form> <select name="selectMain" size="16" id="selectMain" onChange=" if ( value == 0){ selects (id);} if ( value == 1){ selectc ('Test1',id);} if ( value == 2){ selectc ('Test2',id);} if ( value == 3){ selectc ('Test3',id);} "> <option value="1">Test 1</option> <option value="2">Test 2</option> <option value="3">Test 3</option> </select> </form> </td> <td width="20%"><form> <select size="16" id="selectMain" onChange=" if ( value == 0){ selects (id);} if ( value == 4){ selectc (Test4',id);} if ( value == 5){ selectc ('Test5',id);} if ( value == 6){ selectc ('Test6',id);} "> <option value="17">Test 4</option> <option value="18">Test 5</option> <option value="19">Test 6</option> </select> </form> </td> If someone chooses Test 1 in the first box, it highlights it and displays that content. And if they choose Test 4 it removes the Test 1 content, highlights and displays the Test 4 content. But it leaves Test 1 highlighted as well. There is a lot of missing code here... But hopefully you get the picture. Is there a way to make it so that when they choose Test 4 it will remove the highlighting from Test 1 in the first form? Thanks so much for your help! I have been beating my head on a wall! =D this may seem rather rudimentary, however, I have googled it to no avail. I want to be able to put "Choose One" or some other message as the default selected option in a select box, but I do not want the user to be able to pick this option. Any ideas on how to make that work? Looking for the simplest way possible. Was thinking using javascript on a focus event or something like that and deleting the option using javascript. Hopefulyl it doesn't come to that. Thanks for the help in advance. mike |
