JavaScript - Passing Drop Down Menu Selected Value To Php
Hi, all
New here and hoping you can help. I'm trying to figure out the correct event handler and syntax (and whether or not to use a header script) to pass the selected value from a dropdown menu back to PHP. In a nutshell, here's my process: PHP creates an HTML form containing a drop down menu populated with names and email addresses, email being the option value. This is followed by an input box where the user will select a name from the list, enter an amount into the input box, then submit the whole form with an image button, where this data will be passed back to PHP for insertion into the database. The amount portion works beautifully. I can hit the database every time. On the other hand, I cannot get the name/email selection from the drop down menu to be recognized no matter what I do. It tells me nothing is selected even when it is. Well, that isn't entirely true - the closest I've come was apparently screwing up a portion of the PHP code which generates the form and somehow received a Forbidden error when the form tried to link me to the email address. I've never been so happy to be forbidden - or receive an error - in my life. LOL At least that meant I was finally being heard, even if not in the way I want or need. I've tried onChange, onClick, onSubmit and can't seem to hit the right combo. Here's a look at one scenario of many that I've tried. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could steer me in the right direction! PHP to create form: PHP Code: $data = array('form' => draw_form('customer_dropdown', LINK_TO_ACTION, 'page=' . $_GET['page'] . '&action=newrecord'). html_entity_decode(draw_drop_down_menu('customers_email_address',$customers, $_GET['customer'], 'onSubmit="return dropdown(this.customers_email_address)"') .'<input type="hidden" name="selected_entry" value=""><input type="submit" value="" style="display: none;">')); HTML & Java: Code: <html> <head> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function dropdown(mySel) { var myWin, myVal; myVal = mySel.options[mySel.selectedIndex].value; if(myVal) { if(mySel.form.target)myWin = parent[mySel.form.target]; else myWin = window; if (! myWin) return true; myWin.location = myVal; } return false; } //--> </SCRIPT> </head> <form name="customer_dropdown" action="http://site.com/action.php?page=1&action=newrecord" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="securityToken" value="randomSequence01234567890"> <select rel="dropdown" name="customers_email_address" onSubmit="return dropdown(this.customers_email_address)"> <option value="" selected="selected">Please Select</option> <option value="email1@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email1@email.com)</option> <option value="email2@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email2@email.com)</option> <option value="email3@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email3@email.com)</option> <option value="email4@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email4@email.com)</option> <option value="email5@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email5@email.com)</option> </select> <input type="hidden" name="selected_entry" value=""><input type="submit" value="" style="display: none;"> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td align="left" class="formContent"><br>Enter Amount:<br><input type="text" name="amount" value="0.00" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" class="formContent"><br><input type="image" src="http://site.com/images/buttons/button_insert.gif" border="0" alt="Insert" title=" Insert "> <a href="http://site.com/action.php?page=1&gid="><img src="http://site.com/images/buttons/button_cancel.gif" border="0" alt="Cancel" title=" Cancel "></a></td> </tr> </table> </form> </html> Similar TutorialsHello everybody, I have a javascript adding new options to a drop down select menu getting the information from the database. The code is as written below: Code: function setOptions1() { var selbox2 = document.egitimgiris.alttipID; selbox2.options.length = 0; selbox2.options[selbox2.options.length] = new Option('Option1','22') selbox2.options[selbox2.options.length] = new Option('Option2','23') selbox2.options[selbox2.options.length] = new Option('Option3','24') selbox2.options[selbox2.options.length] = new Option('Option4','25') } I want one of them to be added as selected. I will put an "if" check and if it the value of the option and the value in the database is equal I want that option to be added as "selected". Is this possible? If yes, how? Please help. Thanks and regards telmessos Hi All, I am using this code to populate a drop down list from mysql database. I need to pass id and name through this code.but the problem is the value is lost when the page gets refreshed.and it works fine if i pass only name through it. my code is as follows: PHP Code: <?PHP $query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM client_master WHERE client_status=1");?> <select name='name' onChange='javascript:form_submit();' style='width:80px'> <option value="">-SELECT-</option> <?php while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $name=$row['client_name']; ?> <option value="<?php echo $row['client_id'] ?>" <?php echo($row['client_name']==$_POST['name'])?'selected':''?>> <?php echo $row[client_name];?> </option> <?php } ?> </select> <script language="javascript"> function form_submit(){ document.gr.submit(); } </script> 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 everyone, The website that I am trying to create has a couple of drop down lists. I want a variable to store the value (text) of the data field selected from a particular drop down list. Let me explain this with an example: If a dropdown list has data fields like (aa, bb, cc, dd, ee) and if a user selects the option 'bb' , then there should be a variable that stores the text 'bb'. I am using the following piece of code. Can you please take a look at it to tell whether I am doing the correct thing or not. Firstly, the HTML code that generates the drop down list on the page. This works fine. Code: <b> Student's Profession</b> <FORM NAME="Profession"> <SELECT NAME="Student’s Profession"> <OPTION VALUE="k1">Select <OPTION VALUE="k2">Engineer <OPTION VALUE="k3">Doctor <OPTION VALUE="k4">IAS <OPTION VALUE="k5">Lawyer <OPTION VALUE="k6">CA <OPTION VALUE="k7">IAS <OPTION VALUE="k8">Engineer + MBA <OPTION VALUE="k9">Family Business <OPTION VALUE="k10">None of the above </SELECT> </FORM> [Then I have declared a function in JavaScript that stores the value of the data field selected in a particular variable (sel_student_profession). I am not sure about the parameter. Should I simply write 'dropdown' or write the form name? (Profession). Or something else? Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function Selected_profession(dropdown) { var myindex = Profession.selectedindex; var sel_student_profession = Profession.options[myindex].text; return sel_student_profession; } </script> And then at the end of it, if I want to know the value (text) of the data field selected, I call the function. Right now, I am calling the function as follows: Code: var student_profession = Selected_profession(Profession); So, if the user selects "engineer" from the drop down list, student_profession should store "engineer". Am I doing it the correct way? If not, I would highly appreciate any sort of help. Thanks a lot! total score from selected drop down values Hello friends the following is the code i am using without success Code: var numQuestn = 6; function GetScore(form) { var score = 0; var item = 0; var currQuestn = 0; for (i = 0; i < numQuestn; i++) { item = form.q1.selectedIndex; { score += eval(form.q1.options[item].value); } item = form.q2.selectedIndex; { score += eval(form.q2.options[item].value) } item = form.q3.selectedIndex; { score += eval(form.q3.options[item].value) } item = form.q4.selectedIndex; { score += eval(form.q4.options[item].value) } item = form.q5.selectedIndex; { score += eval(form.q5.options[item].value) } item = form.q6.selectedIndex; { score += eval(form.q6.options[item].value) } } form.total.value = score } i am not able to find the error Please help me Thank you in advance I tried implementing a cleaner approach to a web form I had created, but it doesn't seem to be passing the values to the server properly. What gives? This form on the left and right work perfectly, but they have two ridiculously long drop down lists, which would be the "ProgramOfInterest" fields (please use the following values preselected in this form) http://www.nationalcollegesearch.org..._pingpost.html On this form, I tried creating a triple drop down list setup to clean up the older, long lists in this example, but it doesn't pass the values properly. It also seems to not duplicate the new drop down triple drop lists properly as in the original form. You can change the values in the drop downs in the forms to see what I mean. Also just pick Bachelor's > B_Business > Business Administration in the triple drop downs for an example since I don't know how to preselect those values. http://nationalcollegesearch.org/Integrate/PleaseHelpMeWithMyCode/integrate_pingpost_experiment.html Please let me know if there is anything I can do to pass the correct values to the server. Thanks! P.S. Please note that I have disabled the form on the right and intentionally left the action empty. This is the triple drop down script I am using: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> /* Triple Combo Script Credit By Philip M: http://www.codingforums.com/member.php?u=186 Visit http://javascriptkit.com for this and over 400+ other scripts Modified by: jmrker */ var categories = [];

I have a question about a concept I'm working with. I want to create an html page that displays several links to different pages on the site. The user would then be able to drag and drop these links into some sort of list. That part I have figured out. Once they've finished creating their list, they would be able to click on the links in the list. The question I have is this: if they click on a link in the list and go to that page, can their list again be displayed on the new page along with the items they added to it on the previous page? If this is a simple cookie thing, that is awesome. I can't utilize a database or anything server-side for this. HTML and javascript only. Any help would be hugely appreciated, as my programmer is out today.
? how would i make it for a menu so you could press it and it would go down to click on a link.
like for example i have text areas named upload1 and upload2 when I click or add input on upload1 a drop down list below upload2 will not change, but when I add input on upload2 the dropdown will select "parts" Hi, Please look at the following drop-down menu: http://www.w3schools.com/JS/tryit.as...yjs_selectmenu 1. How can I set it so the pages open in the parent frame (instead of the same frame)? 2. How can I set it so the pages open in a new window? Regards Rain Lover Can anyone tell me how or point me to a tutorial which shows how to go about coding a drop down menu "without a button", where i can store all my links. Thanks Hi Everyone, I'm trying to put a drop-down menu onto my website, but desperately need some help; I'd be so grateful if someone could offer some assistance. If you click on this link to see the webpage, http://www.ambersupplies.co.uk/newsite/pageone.htm you'll see the drop down menu, and the two problems I'm having with it. Please don't take any notice of the menu content; I'll be styling it all when these problems are sorted. Firstly, you'll see that the external drop down list is lying within the table (with the red background) when it should appear outside. I've obviously missed a closing table or td tag somewhere, but can't find it. Secondly, the drop down menu should appear on mouseover, and disappear on mouseout; which it does, but as you can see, when the page is firstly or reloaded, the menu is showing. I didn't write this drop-down menu code, I copied it from this page with the intention of styling it to my own webpage: http://www.w3schools.com/DHTML/tryit...rydhtml_menu10, perhaps this will give someone a clue. Can anyone shed a bit of light on this for me, please? I'd be really grateful for any help whatsoever. Many thanks in advance. Graham Here is the JS I used for a drop down nav bar from DW8. I need the cursor to become a hand when you scroll over one of the menu items. Can someone tell me what and where to change this. File attached...
Having trouble with Nested Side Bar menu. I got the coding reference from here and tried to alter it for my profile. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/cs...side_bar_menu/ I know there are easier ways to create menus like this with flash, but Im trying to learn with CSS,HTML, JAVASCRIPT.If there is anyone that can help me find an easier solution in how to do menus i would like to take your advice, Basically I wanted to change the image on the button that receives the mouse-over. Then, when i place my mouse over the second button just sits idle with no sub-menu employed. Only the first button receives the commands to employ the sub-menu. This is my Code. ********************************************************** <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="4thcss.css"> <script src="4thport.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <title>Ruddy's Portfolio</title> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="containerbackground"> </div> <div id="header"> </div> <div id="headertitles"> <a href="https://www.google.com">CSS</a> <a href="https://www.google.com">PHP</a> <a href="https://www.google.com">HTML</a> <a href="https://www.google.com">JAVASCRIPT</a> <a href="https://www.google.com">MySQL</a> </div> <div id="content"> <p>Hello, this is my website page!<br> Everything done here is by my <br>creative influence.<br> I Hope that you enjoy!</p> </div> ********************************************************** ********************************************************** <div id="yellowbutton"> <div class="sidebarmenu"> <ul id="sidebarmenu1"> <li><a href="#"></a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Example</a></li> <li><a href="#">Example</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="redbutton"> <div class="sidebarmenu"> <ul id="sidebarmenu1"> <li><a href="#"></a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Example</a></li> <li><a href="#">Example</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </div> ********************************************************** ********************************************************** <div id="footer"> <div id="footernotes"> <p> A Website by Ruddy J.

Please be gentle with me I'm a bit of a newcomer to this: HTML and Javascript included below. <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript"> sfHover = function() { var sfEls = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("LI"); for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) { sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() { this.className+=" sfhover"; } sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() { this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), ""); } } } if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover); </script> <link href="dropdownmenu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <ul class="nav"> <li><a href="/home/">Home </a></li> <li><a href="/products/">Products </a> <ul> <li><a href="/products/silverback/">Silverback </a></li> <li><a href="/products/fontdeck/">Font Deck </a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="/services/">Services </a> <ul> <li><a href="/services/design/">Design </a></li> <li><a href="/services/development/">Development </a></li> <li><a href="/services/ consultancy/">Consultancy </a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="/contact/">Contact Us </a></li> </ul> </body> </html> I have some Javascript code for a drop-down menu. The code works fine (will show below) but I was wondering how to turn off one of them? I have a total of 8 icons that have drop-down menus, but I only need 6 of them to do so. If I make any sort of change to the code, it makes all the icons change color when the mouse is hovered over, instead of drop-downs. It seems to be an "all or nothing" situation. Can someone show me how to "turn off" just one of the icons (say the "news" one), so a drop-down doesn't appear? Thank you very much. Code: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> <!-- function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01 var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) { d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);} if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n]; for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document); if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x; } function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0 var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc; } function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0 var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3) if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];} } //--> </script> <script language="javascript"> function init() { if (TransMenu.isSupported()) { TransMenu.initialize(); menu1.onactivate = function() { document.getElementById("news").className = "hover"; }; menu1.ondeactivate = function() { document.getElementById("news").className = ""; }; menu2.onactivate = function() { document.getElementById("raceresults").className = "hover"; }; menu2.ondeactivate = function() { document.getElementById("raceresults").className = ""; }; } } </script> <tr><td> <a href="http://www.littlevalleyspeedway.com/test/news.asp" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('news','','http://www.littlevalleyspeedway.com/test/layout/nav_news_on.jpg',1)" id="news"><img src="http://www.littlevalleyspeedway.com/test/layout/nav_news_off.jpg" border="0" name="news" /></a><img src="http://www.littlevalleyspeedway.com/test/layout/nav_top_divider.gif" /> <a href="http://www.littlevalleyspeedway.com/test/race_results.asp" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('navraceresults','','http://www.littlevalleyspeedway.com/test/layout/nav_raceresults_on.jpg',1)" id="raceresults"><img src="http://www.littlevalleyspeedway.com/test/layout/nav_raceresults_off.jpg" border="0" name="navraceresults" /></a><img src="http://www.littlevalleyspeedway.com/test/layout/nav_top_divider.gif" /> </td></tr> <script language="javascript"> if (TransMenu.isSupported()) { var ms = new TransMenuSet(TransMenu.direction.down, 1, 0, TransMenu.reference.bottomLeft); var menu1 = ms.addMenu(document.getElementById("news")); menu1.addItem(); var menu2 = ms.addMenu(document.getElementById("raceresults")); menu2.addItem(); TransMenu.renderAll(); } </script> Any help would be much appreciated!! i have done dropdown menu dynamic using php in which data fetched from database(mysql).now i've to do that if i'll choose any option from dropdown menu that particular item's rate will also fetch from data base and display in a text box.that value can also be changed.plzz help me .give some idea.
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 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!
