JavaScript - Populate Listbox Using Js
I am trying to populate a listbox using Javascript. The listbox is populated using the xml response from ajax request. Below is the code used for the same
Code: var xmlDoc = xmlhttp.responseXML; for (var i = 0; i < xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("id").length; i++) { traderlists.add(new Option(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("name")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue, xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("id")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue)); } This works fine for me. But i am facing performance issue here. some ajax requests retrieves xmls with around 11,000 nodes and this takes too much of time to populate the listbox. Can anyone please advice me with an better solution? Similar TutorialsHi, Iam trying a simple fill listbox on the body load, but its not working.

There should be 2 radio buttons and when the user clicks on the 2nd one "My Process", a list box should be displayed with several options. Can anybody pls help me with this as I'm a beginner to JS.. Many thanks Pooja. I'm probably not allowed to request something like this, but since this is a small amount of code I think I should do it anyways :P Okey, so I have two listboxes and I want a tickbox to enable one listbox and disable one listbox as you tick a checkbox. I want one listbox disabled by default and the other enabled and then vice-verca the disable when you tick the box. If someone could supply me with that code I would be really greatful, butyou don't need to bother with the HTML, I should figure it out from the JS. Thanks in advance <3 Hi there, I have a listbox and an Edit button. The user will need to click on the email address in the listbox before clicking on the button to edit. But then, the email address will be displayed on the prompt box's textbox, and even without editing it, the user can get scot-free. I would want to remove the email address on the prompt box's textbox, and also to check for null entries. If it is null, it will display an alert message. Else, it will check if it is a valid email address. My code is as follow: Code: function editItem() { var listbox = document.getElementById('listBox'); // listbox control id var newValue = lst.value; if(newValue != "") { var newItem = prompt("Enter the new email address",newValue); if(newItem == "") { alert("Please key in an email address into the textbox."); return false; } else { listbox.options[listbox.selectedIndex] = new Option(newItem,newItem,false,false); return false; arrTexts = new Array(); validRegExp =/^\w+@[a-zA-Z_]+?\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}$/ // search email text for regular exp matches if (arrTexts.value.search(validRegExp) ==-1 ) { alert('A valid e-mail address is required.\nPlease try again.'); return false; } else { for(i=0; i<listbox.length; i++) { arrTexts[i] = lst.options[i].text; } arrTexts.sort(); for(i=0; i<listbox.length; i++) { listbox.options[i].text = arrTexts[i]; listbox.options[i].value = arrTexts[i]; } } } } else { alert('Select Item From The List To Edit '); } } HTML Code: select id="lstBxEmail" name="listBoxEmail" size="6" style="width: 580px;"> <option>figFruit@msn.com</option> <option>apple@hotmail.com</option> <option>cherry@yahoo.com</option> <option>banana@hotmail.com</option> <option>elephantApple@ymail.com</option> <option>durian@gmail.com</option> </select> <select id="listBox" name="listBox" size="3" style="width: 580px;"> <option>hello@msn.com</option> <option>wowAmusers@hotmail.com</option> <option>yrulikethis@yahoo.com</option> </select> Hi I've been working on a listbox full of employees for our company intranet. Each name has an onchange tag that calls up a floor map and that part works fine but I'd really like to populate the names from an XML list so it's easier for non-IT people to maintain. I've been doing alot of web searches on the subject which comes up alot but it's mostly just fragments of what I need being that I've got no javascript background. I found a helpful tutorial on javascriptkit but that wasn't for creating listboxes so I'm only part of the way there. This is the XML file I've got (there will eventually be 400 entries): <?xml version="1.0"?> <list> <employee> <name>##########</name> <office>1656</office> <officePH>(403)000-0000</officePH> <mobile>N/A</mobile> <email>##########</email> </employee> <employee> <name>#########</name> <office>1657</office> <officePH>(403)000-0000</officePH> <mobile>N/A</mobile> <email>###########</email> </employee> </list> The most important parts are the name which will be used as the text of the box and the office number which will determine which floorplan is displayed. I added the other information so I can potentially put it in a div display later but that can wait. Can anyone help point me to some good resources on this subject? Thanks. hello I have a listbox full of names on a PHP website and was wondering if there was a way to grab the value during a double click to bring me to another form to display the name and information? Hi, I've been working on a company directory page where a listbox called "People" in a form called "people_form" contains 400 employee names. I made the box "multiple" just so I could have it big and easier to find names but I decided a search box would be really useful. I've looked up a few such search scripts but so far the two I've tried haven't worked. The latest one when it's installed on the page, nothing happens when you type characters into it (it's supposed to jump to an entry matching the first few letters). Although if I backspace then it selects EVERY name in the list Here's the current form with the input tag being the search box (oh the options are populated by java script): <form name="people_form"> <input type="text" id="realtxt" onkeyup="searchSel()"></input> <select onchange="display(this.value); return false;" multiple="multiple" id="People" name="People" style="border-style: none; height:198px; width:220px;"> <option value="">Loading</option> </select></form> And here's the actual search function in the head of the page in the script tags: function searchSel() { var input=document.getElementById('realtxt').value.toLowerCase(); var output=document.getElementById('People').options; for(var i=0;i<output.length;i++) { if(output[i].value.indexOf(input)==0){ output[i].selected=true; } if(document.forms[0].realtxt.value==''){ output[0].selected=true; } } } If you know of a script that will work properly I'd appreciate it. For convenience I'm looking for one that jumps to selections inside the listbox as opposed to one where you click a search button and get results somewhere else. Hello, I'm trying to fill an array with the values of a listbox from a SQL query but somehow I can only get the first word of each registry Code: var arrayX=[]; function getValue(){ var x=document.getElementById("combo_color"); for (var i = 0; i < x.options.length; i++) { if(x[i].value!=''){ arrayX.push(x[i].value); } } } for example, with the color Green Karanka I only get Green inside the array, the same happens with any color with more than one word, any ideas? Thanks. Essentially, I have an ASP.net page where I load a record set server side and upload it into a listbox. I'm trying to do all the movement functionalities of the listbox items client side. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to copy selected listbox items from one listbox to another -- on button click. I've searched for a while, but every example that I found moves the actual item into another listbox, I just want to copy the selected item to another listbox. I'm very new to JavaScript, so ff someone can provide an example or pseudo code, I would greatly appreciate it. Hi, I would like to know how to add/remove items from listbox PERMANENTLY. Sad to say, all I have found are adding/removing items temporarily.

I have a page with three identical listbox containing items in the same order. When an element is selected from any of the three lists, the script should search for the occurrence of the same element in other two lists and remove them on the fly from all the three lists.

Now my question is how can I write code that will insert information in the next row down after the previous row has been filled? basically what logic and programming structure do I need in my function that will know when the first row in the invoice is filled. I'm struggling at the part where when the "add to invoice" button is clicked. some data is added to the invoice, and if the user wants to book another trip, the second trip should be appended in the second row of the invoice. what is happening in mine is that whenever I book another trip, the first one gets overwritten when in fact it should be left intact and the data should get appended in the next row down.

Hi there, I have this form that validates a few textboxes & a dropdownlist. And when it is not filled in, the border of the textboxes and dropdownlist would turn red, followed by an alert message notifying which field have not been filled in. Else, the border will revert back to black, and the form will be submitted successfully. Right now, I would like to prevent the user from entering blanks (like entering a space to cheat the system). How should I tweak the codes to make it work?
