JavaScript - Change Select List Selected Value

Hi JS Experts,

I am working on a class registration system that requires students to register for a main class (101, 102 or 103). The student is supposed to select one main course as well as provide a second choice in case the first is not available. I have two dropdown select fields to capture data

1) Choice -1: 101 / 102 / 103 ( Student needs to select one - Reading the classID from classes table)
2) Choice -2: 101 / 102 / 103 ( If student selects 101 in Choice-1 then the only classes available under Choice-2 should be 102 or 103).

How can I accomplish the above?

Further to this there are two fields on the form where I would like to auto populate based on what they have selected in Choice-1 and Choice-2.

For Example:
If a parent selects choice1: 101 the child Choice1 field should autopopulate with 100.
If a parent selects Choice2: 201 the child Choice2 field should autopopulate with 200

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

Hey Guys
When a user changes the select list called "reason_code_master" I need the uodatecodes() function to update all the other select list with the id of "reason_codes" with the same . How can I do this.


<select size='1' onchange="updatecodes()" name='reason_code_master'>
<option value='' > - SET REASON - </option>
<option value='BROKEN' >BROKEN</option>
<option value='ENTERED' >ENTERED</option>
<option value='SHORT' >SHORT</option>
</select>

<select size='1' name='reason_codes' id='reason_codes'>
<option value='' > - SET REASON - </option>
<option value='BROKEN' >BROKEN</option>
<option value='ENTERED' >ENTERED</option>
<option value='SHORT' >SHORT</option>
</select>
<select size='1' name='reason_codes' id='reason_codes'>
<option value='' > - SET REASON - </option>
<option value='BROKEN' >BROKEN</option>
<option value='ENTERED' >ENTERED</option>
<option value='SHORT' >SHORT</option>
</select>
<select size='1' name='reason_codes' id='reason_codes'>
<option value='' > - SET REASON - </option>
<option value='BROKEN' >BROKEN</option>
<option value='ENTERED' >ENTERED</option>
<option value='SHORT' >SHORT</option>
</select>
<select size='1' name='reason_codes' id='reason_codes'>
<option value='' > - SET REASON - </option>
<option value='BROKEN' >BROKEN</option>
<option value='ENTERED' >ENTERED</option>
<option value='SHORT' >SHORT</option>
</select>

ok so i need help....

I need to create a page containing five image tags, two buttons, a <select> and a <textarea>. The images tags will each contain a picture of one of six possible outcomes for the dice portraying the numbers one through six..

The first button: When the user clicks on the button, all dice are rolled once. For each die when rolled, the src of its image tag is replaced with a random one of six possible pictures -- each picture being chosen with equal probability (1/6).... I HAVE THIS DONE

The select: The user may select any of the numbers one through six. Whenever a picture is clicked upon, then that die takes on the value shown inside the <select>..... THIS IS WHAT I NEED HELP WITH

The textarea: Results of the dice rolls should be kept as a running log (a cumulative history) in a textarea at the bottom of the page. With each roll (initiated by the click of the button), we should be able to see the complete history of all current and previous dice rolls. You need not consider changes brought about clicks on individual dice in conjunction with the <select>....I HAVE THIS DONE

The second button: A button below the textarea, should allow the user to obtain a report (overwriting the current contents of the log in the textarea) which tabulates the frequency of each of the six outcomes plotted separately for each of the dice. The frequency tabulation should show how often each die was rolled, as consistent with the data stored in the log.... I HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN AROUND TO WORRYING ABOUT THIS YET






This is what i have so far and have so far exhausted everything that i know to try to get it to work but this is just the code with out any of my failed attempts dragged into it

I couldn't think of a way to explain my idea thoroughly, but I'm learning javascript and I have an html <select> form selected by using getElementById. Now, how do I access the data within the option tags to write to a variable? I know there are many simple ways of making it so that the value of the options are the html color name rather than hex code, but I'm doing this to learn javascript.

I have experience with ruby (ok, not THAT much, but I understand the concepts). Anyway's the code explains my problem much better, so here it is:
Code:

<body>
    <form action= "">
        <fieldset>
            <select id="selColor">
                <option value="FFFFFF">White</option>
                <option value="#A9A9A9">Gray</option>
                <option value="#000000">Black</option>
                <option value="#FF0000">Red</option>
                <option value="#FFA500">Orange</option>
                <option value="FFFF00">Yellow</option>
                <option value="#9ACD32">Green</option>
                <option value="#0000FF">Blue</option>
                <option value="#4B0082">Indigo</option>
                <option value="#9400D3">Violet</option>
            </select>

            <input type="button" 
                   value="Change Color" 
                   onclick="changeColor()" />
        </fieldset>
    </form>
<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    function changeColor() {
        var selColor = document.getElementById("selColor")
        var color = selColor.value
        var colorid = 
        if (confirm("would you like to change color to "+colorid+"?")) {
            document.body.style.backgroundColor = color
        }

    }
    //]]>
</script>

</body>

I haven't initialized var colorid, but I'm trying to set it to either of the highlighted parts of the following piece of my code.
<option id=" white " value="FFFFFF"> White </option>

I want to access that part of the option tags of the element that the user selects. So, without changing the hex values to the color equivalent, how do I access the name of the selected option tag? ( I could make an if/switch statement to translate the hex color into a name and put it into the variable, but I would like to know how to do what I'm asking in case I run into a similair problem.)

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!

HI
I'm using this form in my site, but I want to amend it so the form updates based on the option ID, not the option Value.

This will make it easier for me to save the correct data in the value field..

Any ideas ?

PHP Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setOptions(chosen) {
var selbox = document.myform.opttwo;
 
selbox.options.length = 0;
if (chosen == " ") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Please select one of the options above first',' ');
 
}
if (chosen == "1") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('first choice - option one','oneone');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('first choice - option two','onetwo');
}
if (chosen == "2") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('second choice - option one','twoone');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('second choice - option two','twotwo');
}

}
}

So how do I get CHOSEN to equal the ID not the value ?

Thanks

I have a calendar and when selecting the date the date format inserted to text box is in the format ' 10/10/2010'. This is not getting inserted into oracle database. Oracle accepts only the format '10-OCT-10' . So please help me to change the format of date that getting selected from calendar.

Hiya!

I'm a total JS beginner, so any help is appreciated. I've created the simple select box below that will "onchange" when an item is selected. I'm trying to apply the "selected" or "selected="selected" attribute to items that are chosen from the menu.

Example: The goal is to show " <option value="/1" selected="selected"> " when page "/1" is chosen and to show <option value="/1"> when /1 is not the current page.

I've follow a few simple tutorials with no luck and even tried php conditionals to trigger the "selected" attribute with no luck.

Any feedback is GREATLY appreciated, thank you!

Code:

<form name="guideform" method="get">
<select class="wptdb_jumpbar_select" name="mymenu" onChange="window.location=document.guideform.mymenu.options[document.guideform.mymenu.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="/1">Home Page #1</option>
<option value="/2">Home Page #2</option>
<option value="/3">Home Page #3</option>
<option value="/4">Home Page #4</option>
</select>
</form>

Hi all,
I'm working on a script which is actually a very simple tab system.

Code:

<script>
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
var tabs = $$('div[id^="tab"]');
tabs.fade('hide');

$$('#buttons li a').each(function(element,index){
    element.addEvent('click',function(){
        tabs.fade(0);
        tabs[index].fade(1);
    });
});
});
</script> 

<ul id="buttons">
     <li><a href="#">button 1</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">button 2</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">button 3</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">button 4</a></li>
</ul>

<div id="tab1">content for button 1</div>
<div id="tab2">content for button 2</div>
<div id="tab3">content for button 3</div>
<div id="tab4">content for button 4</div>

I'm trying to change the style of the selected button. I mean that the button which is selected each time, should be highlighted (bold text). How can I add this function in the existing code? Can you help me please?

I'm using the 1.2.0 version of mootools for this.

what can be the reasons for the same code which works perfectly in notepad to not show its result in a jsp application done using eclipse??anything to do with settings?
I am not able to display the current date as default in dd/mm/yyyy format in drop down boxes..only dd and yyyy apears but month isnt apearing as default..
can u suggest alternative logic and its code to implement the same??

Here's the code that I'm working with:
Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>

<script type ="text/javascript">
function HouseSel(){
document.getElementById("HouseSelect").value = '3'
alert (document.getElementById("HouseSelect").value);
}
</script>
</head>

<body>


<form action="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" name="_xclick">

<select name="item_name" id="HouseSelect">
                  <option value="0" selected="selected">--Please Select a House--</option>
                  <option value="1">Nags Head</option>
                    <option value="Rent Deposite: Calib  ">Calibre</option>
                </select>

<input name="calculate3" type="button" id="calculate3" tabindex="2"     
        onclick="HouseSel(); " value="Calculate"/>
        </form>
</body>
</html>

But it's still returning the initial value. How do I get it to 3?

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.

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>
