JavaScript - One Select List Updates All Select Lists

I want to validate a select list that looks like the below select list. How can I do this when it is named "status[]".

<select size='4' MULTIPLE name='status[]'>

<option value='COMPLETE'>COMPLETE</option>
<option value='ENTERED'>ENTERED</option>
<option value='INSTALLED'>INSTALLED</option>
</select>

Hello everyone, after a few days of looking i give up i just don't know what to look for or how to do it.

on this website "http://www.hunlock.com/blogs/Everything_You_Ever_Needed_To_Know_About_Video_Embedding there is a section called How to make a video select list. I have been able to replicate and modify it to my liking how ever i have one issue. i can't make my videos fullscreen. The videos have and give the option for full screen but the fullscreen doesn't work.

i prefer this kind of code because it allows my webpage to select a video without changing the webpage and play it, i find it much more smoother then then multiple embedded videos in tabs (i don't even know what to call it so thats what i call it)

just incase the website doesnt work or something i will post the script

first part<div id='videoPlayback' style='width: 435px; height:350px; background-color: #800000;'></div>

then

<div id='selectDemo1' style='display: none'>
<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-is63goeBgc"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-is63goeBgc&autoplay=1"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"
width="425" height="350">
</embed>
</object>
</div>

<div id='selectDemo2' style='display: none'>
<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c6SHsF1n9Qw"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c6SHsF1n9Qw&autoplay=1"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"
width="425" height="350">
</embed>
</object>
</div>

then
<A HREF="#" onclick='return playVideo("selectDemo1","videoPlayback")'>RvD2: Ryan vs. Dorkman 2</A><BR>
<A HREF="#" onclick='return playVideo("selectDemo2","videoPlayback")'>Beatboxing Flute </A><BR>

and finally<script type="text/javascript">
function playVideo(sourceId, targetId) {
if (typeof(sourceId)=='string') {sourceId=document.getElementById(sourceId);}
if (typeof(targetId)=='string') {targetId=document.getElementById(targetId);}
targetId.innerHTML=sourceId.innerHTML;
return false;
}
</script>

i'm not sure the exact functions or how to write this kinda stuff from scratch so if you have any helpfull additions or suggestions please let me know.

Hi there,

Is there any way in JS to convert all items in a Select to a numbered list? I can imagine something like

Code:

for (Scount=0;Scount<select.length;Scount++)

and then process each value in the Select to a numbered list, but I can't figure out how and there seems to be no one on the internet with the same goal...

Am quite a newbie!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thomas

the code below was got from <http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/selectcontent2.shtml>

I was following to tutorial to learn how to create multi-level select list in javascript.

i have gone through it but wanted to print the individual selected item in each option, i could not. the first worked well for be because the selected options are manually typed, but the last option became difficult because they are dynamically loaded.

Please can anyone guild me on how to print the selected option of the second field?


<form name="classic">
<select name="countries" size="4" onChange="updatecities(this.selectedIndex)" style="width: 150px">
<option selected>Select A City</option>
<option value="usa">USA</option>
<option value="canada">Canada</option>
<option value="uk">United Kingdom</option>
</select>

<select name="cities" size="4" style="width: 150px" onClick="alert(this.options[this.options.selectedIndex].value)">
</select>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">

var countrieslist=document.classic.countries
var citieslist=document.classic.cities

var cities=new Array()
cities[0]=""
cities[1]=["New York|newyorkvalue", "Los Angeles|loangelesvalue", "Chicago|chicagovalue", "Houston|houstonvalue", "Austin|austinvalue"]
cities[2]=["Vancouver|vancouvervalue", "Tonronto|torontovalue", "Montreal|montrealvalue", "Calgary|calgaryvalue"]
cities[3]=["London|londonvalue", "Glasgow|glasgowsvalue", "Manchester|manchestervalue", "Edinburgh|edinburghvalue", "Birmingham|birminghamvalue"]

function updatecities(selectedcitygroup){
citieslist.options.length=0
if (selectedcitygroup>0){
for (i=0; i<cities[selectedcitygroup].length; i++)
citieslist.options[citieslist.options.length]=new Option(cities[selectedcitygroup][i].split("|")[0], cities[selectedcitygroup][i].split("|")[1])
}
}

</script>

I currently have two html select list boxes side by side on a form, two buttons in between the boxes to move items from list box to the other, and a javascript function to control the movement of the items from one box to the other. Here is the javascript:

Code:

function MoveSelected(from, to) {
		var lstFrom = $(from);
		var lstTo = $(to);

		for (var i = 0; i<lstFrom.length;i++) {
			if ( lstFrom[i].selected ) {
				var elOptNew = document.createElement('option');
		    	elOptNew.text = lstFrom[i].text;
    			elOptNew.value = lstFrom[i].value;
			    try {
					lstTo.add(elOptNew, null); // standards compliant; doesn't work in IE
			    } catch(ex) {
					lstTo.add(elOptNew); // IE only
			    }
			}
		}
		for (var i = lstFrom.length-1; i>=0;i--) {
			if ( lstFrom[i].selected ) {
				lstFrom.options[i] = null;
			}										
		}					
	}

Here are the two html form select list boxes (lstAvailProd is the starting list box that lists the initial data and lstSelectProd is the destination list box):

Code:

<td width="10%" valign="center">
	<a href="javascript: MoveSelected('lstAvailProd','lstSelectProd');"><IMG SRC="buttons/right_arrow.gif" style="padding-bottom: 2px;" /></a><br /><br />
	<a href="javascript: MoveSelected('lstSelectProd','lstAvailProd');"><IMG SRC="buttons/left_arrow.gif" /></a>
</td>

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I could modify my code to allow for the selection of all the data in the starting list box by only selecting and moving the first item in the list to the destination list box? The first item is called "All Products", so instead of actually selecting every product in the starting list and moving them to the destination list, I would like the code to see that if the "All Products" list item is moved to the destination list, move all the other list items in the destination list back to the starting list. Here's an example of what the code for each list box looks like:

Starting List Box:

Code:

<select name="lstAvailProd" id="lstAvailProd" multiple="true" size="8" style="width: 250px;">
	<option value="-1">{All Products}</option>
	<option value="1">Product 1</option>
	<option value="2">Product 2</option>
	<option value="3">Product 3</option>
	<option value="4">Product 4</option>
	<option value="5">Product 5</option>
</select>

Destination List Box:

Code:

<select name="lstSelectProd" id="lstSelectProd" multiple="true" size="8" style="width: 250px;">
</select>

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!

Hello All,

I currently am trying to make a long list of checkboxes function like a multi-select box would. I would like to be able to shift-select two checkboxes and have for example, the X number of boxes in between all be selected.

Is there an efficient way to go about doing this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there. With the below script I'm trying to validate if the user enters a quantity in the text box they must select a reason for ordering and if the user selects a reason code but forgets to enter a quantity it should alert to enter a quantity. Right now it validates the reason code but not the quantity. Please help.




Code:

<script>

function validateReason(){
var tr, i=1;
while(tr=document.getElementById('Child'+(i++))){
 var txtV=tr.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value
 var selS=tr.getElementsByTagName('select')[0].selectedIndex;
 if(txtV.length>0&&selS==0){alert('If you enter a quantity you must select a reason!');return false}
}
return true;
}



</script>


<form method="POST" onsubmit="return validateReason(this) ; " action="Order_Process.php" name="theForm" >
<table>
<tr id='Child1'>
  <td><input type = 'text' MAXLENGTH='3' 
             style = 'width:40px'; class='textfield' name='quantity[]' ></td>

If i have a drop down list on my website, and i want to use javascript to change its selected value, however, i do not have the id/name attribute of the option i want to select, only have the "value" attribute of the option, can it be done?

<select name="category">
<option value="">No Preference</option>
<option value="Apples">Apples</option>
<option value="Oranges">Oranges</option>
<option value="Pears">Pears</option>
<option value="Banana">Banana</option>
</select>

I imagine somehow.. selecting the options and looping through them and match the value. Really new to javascript, can anyone advise?

Thanks in advance!

so, I can pass a value from a select list to another function which then decides which function to call, but I want to cut out the middleman, and make the values the function calls, and call them directly on the onchange... I imagine something like this:

Code:

<select id="select" onchange="this.value">
	<option selected value="function1()">Funtion 1</option>
        <option value="function2()">Function 2</option>            
	<option value="function3()">Function 3</option>
	</select>

is it possible?

is it possible to refresh a select list on it's own without refreshing the whole page?

Hey chaps, hope someone can help with this:
I have a PHP form, with a couple of dynamic Select menus, which are populated from two SQL tables:
// tbl_main_colour:
Code:

ID, NAME
1, Red
2, Blue
3, Green

// tbl_shade_colour:
Code:

ID, NAME, FK_MAIN_COLOUR_ID
1, Light Red, 1
2, Dark Red, 1
3, Light Blue, 2
4, Dark Blue, 2
5, Light Green, 3
6, Dark Green, 3

What I'm after is something to filter the second select option, after the first select option has been chosen
// Select 1:
Code:

Red

// Select 2:
Code:

Light Red
Dark Red

I'm pretty sure this is possible, but not sure how to go about it, any help would be most appreciated.
