JavaScript - Javascript Drop Down Menu For Years Past And Future

hi

im new to scripting so apologies if this is a basic question.

I have a form which has javascript validation which triggers hidden divs if certain input boxes are left blank. I have it working with text fields and text areas, but im having trouble with a drop down menu.

This is the code for my drop down:

Code:

<select name="department" size="1" id="department">
  <option value="" selected>Please select</option>
  <option value="1">Personal Injury</option>
  <option value="2">ULR &amp; Credit Hire</option>
  <option value="3">Consumer Credit</option>
  <option value="4">Health &amp; Safety</option>
  <option value="5">Property</option>
</select>

And this is the code currently for the Javascript validating:

Code:

if(department.selectedIndex == 0){
                var error = true;
                $('#department_error').fadeIn(500);
            }else{
                $('#department_error').fadeOut(500);

If i leave the drop down on the 'Please Select' value, the error message should show, but at the moment it doesnt show up. I have a feeling the syntax is wrong in the javascript?

Any help very much appreciated
Thanks

I've been running into a brick wall on this problem, and have gone over my html, css and PHP dozens of times, so I'm thinking it's a Javascript issue (where my skills are lacking). I'm using a drop-down menu script that I got he http://www.php-development.ru/javascripts/dropdown.php, which I have modified slightly to eliminate timeout and change styles on closing the menu (by clicking on it).

It works fine everywhere except in IE 6 and 7. In IE 7, the menu appears where it should, but looks blank. If you leave the sub-menu open and hover over another link, the menu appears as it should. Both drop-down menus do this. In IE6, the problem is similar, except that only the bottom border of the menu items appear, not the whole link. The page can be found he http://www.georgekoury.com/index_test.php, and the only options with drop-down are "Individual Insurance" and "Group Insurance". I realize the code isn't entirely compliant, I inherited this code from another programmer and I'm trying to avoid having to rewrite the whole structure. I'm not sure what code you may need me to post, so if more information is needed, please let me know and I'll provide it.

Hi guys,

I am having an issue changing a piece of Javascript and hoped you guru's could help?I am not awful with Javascript but it is fair to say I am still at the beginning of my learning! I can't find the correct answer in forums and tutorials and you guys are literally my last hope! Here it is ....

I have a drop-down menu on a website I am working on which is made up of HTML, CSS and a little bit of Javascript. At the moment it is set so that when the user hovers over the menu it operates the drop-down. This obviously does not work for iPads etc as there is no mouse to hover. I want to keep my menu but alter the Javascript so the menu drops when clicked instead.

Here is my code:

Javascript

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--
startList = function() {
	if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
		navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
		for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
			node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
			if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
				node.onmouseover=function() {
					this.className+=" over";
				}
				node.onmouseout=function() {
					this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
window.onload=startList;

//--><!]]></script>

HTML

Code:

<div id="menuPadding">
	<div id="menu">
<ul id="nav">
<li id="m1"><a href="">HOME</a></li>
<li id="m2">ABOUT US

I realise that this must be quite an easy thing for you guys but - as I said - I am at the beginning of my learning and it is confusing the hell out of me! All of the things I have tried have not worked! Any help would be truly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello All,
I'm trying to find a script that would be able to do the following:
The are two drop down boxes, the first one populating the second (state/county --> town)
The first box is single choice, the second is multiple choice. I'm looking for a script that would be able to deal with generating the code for all possible values that could be chosen in the second drop down box.
The drop down boxes are part of a form which allow people to search for educational courses within areas of a state/county.

I've had a good root around the internet but am rapidly getting confused ...

many thanks in advance.
Si.

Hello! My first (but surely not last) post on this forum.

I made a drop box menu and I want to activate specific javascript functions when they are selected. I think this should be fairly easy to solve. I am very new at HTML and Javascript btw.

This is what I tried:

if (document.getElementById("selectense").value="present"){
document.getElementById("present").style.visibility="visible";
}


<span class="tensebox">
<select id="selectense">
<option onclick="showPresent()">Present</option>
<option onclick="showPC()">Present</option>
</select></span>



(and I have some text with the ID "present)

Hey, so I'm a complete javascript newbie and am trying to create a drop down menu with four different boxes. The site I'm working on is basically an ecommerce site, so I'll use cars as a good example for what I want to do.

Let's say that I'm selling cars and want to target the buyer directly, then I would have the following boxes, each one serving as a dependent of the one before it:

1. Pick the brand (BMW, Mercedes, Etc.)
2. Pick the type of car (Sports car, SUV, Mini Van, etc.)
3. Pick the color (blue, green, etc.)
4. Pick the price ($0-$19,999/$19,999-29,999/etc.)

So far I have the first two boxes down by using the following site: http://www.supertom.com/menugen/. Now my problem is that the site only allows for the first two boxes to be made, and says that

"the values in box1 are static and printed directly as normal HTML. The corresponding box2 options will also be copied into the HTML as well as the javascript for full functionality."

Being a complete newbie, I have no idea what this means. So I decided to search the internet for an answer and was not able to find one, thus leading me here, which from the looks of it seems like a great forum.

If anyone could tell me how to connect a third and fourth box that falls into the same hierarchy as the first and the second then I would appreciate.

Really THANK YOU, and I'm really looking forward to reading your replies!!

-Bobby

I hope someone out there can help me!

I am a librarian and am looking for a way to get javascript to display a simple future date for books we need to pull off our shelf.

The date needs to be 6 days into the future. I want the date to display as either a hyphenated number:

ie. 8-13 (for August 13th)

or as an abbreviation of the month with the future date:

ie. Aug. 13

I've tried this a number of ways, but I am just not getting the simple date format that I want. I need the script to automatically account for number of days in the month, etc. and adjust accordingly. For instance, if it was July 31st, I would want the script to display Aug. 6 or 8-6.

I am not well-versed when it comes to javascript (read ignorant), but I posted below what I have managed to cobble together after searching online and playing with the ww3 school's "TryitEditor".

Thanks for any help or tips in advance!

Script below displays:

PULL DATE:

6 days, on Saturday, August 13, 2011

Thanks!


but I want it to display:

PULL DATE:

6 days, on Aug. 13

or

6 days, on 8-13

Code:

I'm trying to find a way to display a future date in short format (as an expiration date) with Javascript. I've figured out how to do it with long format, but have no idea how to convert it and I'm not great with Javascript.

Here is code that I found on another forum and modified:

Code:

<!doctype html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>


<!doctype html>
<head>
<title>Expires</title>
</head>
<body>

<script>

var myDelayInDays=6, myDate=new Date();
myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate()+myDelayInDays);

document.write('Expires: ' + myDate.toLocaleDateString());

</script>
</body>
</html>

</body>
</html>

Which displays:

"Expires: Monday, May 21, 2012"

I would like it to display:

"Expires: 05/21/2012"

Can anyone help?!

I know how to edit the CSS, and minute parts of the JavaScript code (for example; speed of the drop). The problem is, I had a massive amount of help making the Javascript side of the menu, and do not know how to edit it...

I want the rules to still apply, where only one can be expanded at a time (one of the first drops, and then only one of the sub-drops). I noticed in the code, I can edit it so there can be more than one drop, but that would mean, the whole menu could be expanded

Also, I want my sub-drops. to have different span colour than the main drop. but trhe links and such, (everything else about it) can be the same....

My live demo is here!


Thank you for any help and/or advice in advance,
Best Regards,
Tim

Hi,

I have a webpage with a world clock.

On the clock page are 12 buttons (World Cities). When the user clicks these buttons. The time for the relevant world city is displayed. (The time is updated by an on.click function for each individual button. That either subtracts or adds the hours from GMT. For example. If the time is GMT 18:00:00. The user clicks the Paris button and the function adds 1 hour to result in 19:00:00)

However. If the GMT time is for example 21:00:00 and the user clicks the Tokyo button (GMT+9 hours). The time displayed is 30:00:00.

So I have been trying to work out how I can stop the time adding past 23:59:59.

This is probably so simple which is probably why I cant find any help online. It has stumped me and any help would be appreciated.

I have copied and pasted my code below in the hope that helps. Thanks in advance if you can offer any advice.

Code:

<script>
	  

function start() {
  GMToffset = 0;
  t=setInterval('digitalclock()',500);
}

function digitalclock()
{
var today=new Date();
var hours=today.getHours() + GMToffset;
var minutes=today.getMinutes();
var seconds=today.getSeconds();
minutes=checkTime(minutes);
seconds=checkTime(seconds);
hours=checkTime(hours);
document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds;
}

function checkTime(i)
{
if (i<10)
  {
  i="0" + i;
  }
return i;
}

function updatetime1() {
  GMToffset = -3;

Not sure if this is possible in javascript:

I'm looking for two different dates (bill date and due date) on an invoice that are captured by OCR. If one of them exists, but the other does not, I want the empty field to be 14 days before (or after) the other.

For example:
if the bill date is 7/27/2010 and the due date was not captured, I want to set the due date as 8/10/2010 (14 days after the bill date).

If the due date was captured as 8/10/2010, but the due date is blank, I want to assign the bill date as 7/27/2010 (14 days before the due date).

if both dates have values, do nothing.

Thanks.

? how would i make it for a menu so you could press it and it would go down to click on a link.

I presently have a drop down menu in one of my sites. I wish to break it down one more time so that it opens up on the side. However, not being a javascript expert I cannot figure out how to do it. I assume it is something within the coding that needs to be changed, or even a new section added. I have included the coding, please can someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you so much!

Monica

if(ddmenuitem) ddmenuitem.style.visibility = 'hidden';

// get new layer and show it

Hi Everyone,
Could someone please help?
I'm rewriting our website at present, and am quite ok with HTML and CSS, but am not particularly au fait with Javascript.

Here's the page I'm having a bit of trouble with:

http://www.ambersupplies.co.uk/thomas/miscellaneous.htm

If you look at the long button marked 'Diagnostics', you'll see it has an arrow and initiates a drop-down menu on mouse-over. My problem is that I wish to further subdivide the three items on the sub-menu, ie, Visual to become sub-menued into Dermatoscope and Penlight. In other words, the Visual button initiates another drop-down menu on mouse-over.

Basically, therefore, I'm trying to expand the Javascript to make this happen, but I just don't seem to able to.

I'd be so very grateful for any help anyone can offer.

Graham

I'm trying to make a simple drop down menu for the last item in the menu copied here. I've tried multiple free code on the web without success.
