JavaScript - Need Help Getting Dropdown Script (will Pay)

Hi,

I have two dropdown lists with the second one being dependent on the selection in the first.

Options in list 1:
1,3 or 4

List two should be enabled when 3 or 4 is selected in list 1.

So far so good, managed to get it to work with only one set of lists, but I actually have 18 of those sets in this form:

Code:

<select name="fw[$i]" id="fw[$i]">
<option value="1">FWH</option>
<option value="3">links</option>
<option value="4">rechts</option>
<option value="0" selected></option>
</select><br />
<select name="lie[$i]" id="lie[$i]" disabled="disabled" onchange="showBox($i,xxx);">
<option value="0" selected>---</option>
<option value="1">gut</option>
<option value="2">schlecht</option>
<option value="3">Strafschlag</option>
<option value="4">OB</option>
</select>

$i is my index generated by my PHP script and runs from 1 to 18.
Everything works just fine as long as the index is not in play. With the index my function breaks, most probably due to my inability to extract the second parameter (xxx above) from the selection field.

Here's my function, there could be something wrong there too with how exactly to specify the proper dropdown list to enable.

Code:

function showBox(field,val) {
		
if (val > 1) {		
var box = 'lie[' + field + ']';
document.form1.box.disabled == false;
}
else {
document.form1.box.disabled == true;
}
	
}

Finally, I'm not that adept in javascript programming, more like a trial and error guy, how has hit the wall with this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi All, I have two scripts which I want to try and integrate. I am using a nice gallery script to show thumbnails which are appended to a an image wrapper which on click of the thumbnail shows the larger image in the image wrapper,

I am trying to implement cloud zoom which is a plugin which uses image srcs to then point to an anchor href to show another larger zoom image either in the same place.. which is what I am trying to do or in another div beside.

I have had to set me img srcs up in a certain way to easily enter some product details. and I need to try an manipulate the code to make it work to suit my file layout.

I am using a var= images [ with

a series of file locations and info such as below

{
src: 'romanticabride/thumbs/tn_Shauna.jpg',
srcBig: 'romanticabride/images/Shauna.jpg',
title: 'Shauna',
longDescription: '<b><H1>Shauna</H1></b><br><b>Romantica Of Devon <br><br><h2>Sizes Available:</h2><br> 6 - 32.<b><br><b><br><b><b><b><H2>Colours Available:</h2><b><br>Various<br>Please Enquire Below<br><br><br><br><a href="mailto:tracy@cherishbridal.co.uk?subject=Web Enquiry Regarding Romantica Shauna Bridal Gown"class="enquiry rose glow" >Click To Enquire About This Item </a>'
},

what I need is for cloud zoom to work when the main image wrapper is hovered over which means it will need to add a class or when the whichever srcBig: is hovered over it gets wrapped by href to make the script work .

one of my pages is http://www.cherishbridal.co.uk/romaticabride.html

the cloud zoom script is at http://www.professorcloud.com/mainsite/cloud-zoom.htm.. I am happy to share a jsfiddle with someone or explain further
or post some code. Thank you in advance

I have a script that works in seamonkey(my html editor) but when I use it in IE8 it says errors happen.
Here's the code (the first line is on line 7 of the html file):
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function enlarge(imageNum)
{
var numToString = "";
if(parseInt(imageNum) < 10){
numToString = "0" + imageNum;
}
else
{
numToString = imageNum + "";
}
window.open("images/LgScreenshot"+numToString+".jpg","Screenshot "+imageNum,"status=0,height=675,width=900,resizable=0");
}
</script>

And the errors:

does any expert know how to pass parameters in the <script ..> tag?

for instance;
Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js ?param1=val1&param2=val2&etc ">

in the javascript script.js, how would we read the params after the question mark?

for example, google this; google shopping cart /v2_2/cart.js

I need to assign a key in the javascript to actually make the javascript work,.

I have a bookmark in chrome , a javascript , which actually works when clicked on it .,. but how can i edit it so that i can actually make it work on click a key or combination of keys.

i want to declare the key or keycombo in the script itself .,.

the script is for catching the selected text on the webpage and opening a new tab(or window) and doing an exact search search of the selected text using google.com .,.,

So I want it to work it this way .,

select the text
press a key
and it opens a new tab (or window) with an xact search .,.

I am just learning but this is driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to change the value of a quantity dropdown on this page:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Energizer-...Pack/872068#rr

This will change it in the browser but the 3 value is not retained when I add the item to cart. Do I have to do something with onchange? What?

Code:

document.getElementsByClassName('stripitems')[0].childNodes[3].childNodes[3].value= 3

if I had two dropdown boxes...

If I select the first one with the value of the month name .. eg.. January.

How can I get the second dropdown box below to get that same value.??

Thanks S.

if i press any key from keyboard all related word to that alphabet will display below the dropdown.what is the code for it.thanks.

I really like on the top how the menu has like 5 or 6 icons, and when you hover over them it shows a bubble with the name in them. Does anybody know where I can find this script? Thanks.

I have a working drop down menu on my "Facebook" icon at the top of my website.

www.billboardfamily.com

The menu works fine, but I would like for it to open to the left of the icon... should look something like the attached pic.

I do not know enough about js to make this happen, any help would be great. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I want to set a different value for each name and use url for values.
Can somebody help me with this?

eg: name A3 and value http://www.audi.com

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

function dynamic1(parent,child){

	var parent_array = new Array();

	parent_array[''] = ['Please select a manufacturer'];

	parent_array['Audi'] = ['A3','A4','A5','A6','A8','Q5','Q7','S3','S4','S5','S6','S8','RS6'];

	parent_array['Dacia'] = ['Sandero','Logan'];

	parent_array['FIAT'] = ['Bravo','Punto','Grande Punto'];

	parent_array['Peugeot'] = ['207','308','407','607'];

	parent_array['SEAT'] = ['Ibiza','New Ibiza','Leon'];

	parent_array['Skoda'] = ['Fabia','Octavia Tour','Octavia 2','Superb'];

	var thechild = document.getElementById(child);

	thechild.options.length = 0;

	var parent_value = parent.options[parent.selectedIndex].value;

	if (!parent_array[parent_value]) parent_value = '';

	thechild.options.length = parent_array[parent_value].length;

	for(var i=0;i<parent_array[parent_value].length;i++){

		thechild.options[i].text = parent_array[parent_value][i];

		thechild.options[i].value = parent_array[parent_value][i];} }

</script>

I hope someone can help me. I am having a problem with a dropdown selection box. I think Javascript is the way to solve it, but I am unfamiliar with the language, any help would be much appreciated.

My drop down box selection box is created dynamically with data from a mysql database.

It is a list of artists/musicians. I have 1 column in the db table called artist_name and another called artist_id. The sql query selects both of these columns and displays artist names in the select box.

What I need is for the artist_id to be sent along with whichever artist is selected in the select box to the next page upon submitting the form.

I put in a input field, which I will make hidden eventually. But I want the input field to change to whatever the correct id is when the select box is changed.

I am thinking that the way to do this would be with a javascript onchange event. Will this work ?

If so I need help with the code. I have searched for examples online and while somewhat helpful, I am such a newbie with Javascript that I could not figure out how to modify the examples to what I need.

Here is the php/mysql code I have so far:

PHP Code:
$query4 = "SELECT artist_id,artist_name FROM artists ORDER BY artist_name";      
$result4 = mysql_query($query4) or die(mysql_error());

echo "<select name='artist'>
     <option value=''>Select Artist</option>";
     while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result4))
       {
        $artist_id=$row['artist_id'];
            echo "<option value='". $row['artist_name'] ."'>". $row['artist_name'] ."</option>";
        }
echo "</select>
     <input type='text' name='artist_id' id='artist_id' size='5' class='textfield' value='$artist_id'>"; 

HI

I am trying to add a 'orderby' or 'sortby' dropdown to a website to give various options of order picked from a MySQL recordset, the example below is what I am looking for that changes on re-fresh and remembers the selection chosen.

Example Site - Waterstones Bookstore

I think it would be a mixture of Javascript and PHP??

I have searched for hours looking for a solution

Many thanks in advance
