JavaScript - Auto Selected Value Of Select Box
When first loading the page, I want the default select box value to be showing, and change when they select a different value.
It works perfect when I select any value, but it's blank on load. I've attached screenshots showing. How can I get it default selected to show "Please Select a Character Class to view more information." Code: <script type = "text/javascript"> function showDetails(which) { var d = document.getElementById("classDescription"); var s = which.value; if (s == "Enchantress") {d.innerHTML = "<b>Enchantress</b><br />This character is a magic user. You are weak with attacks, but powerful with magic."} if (s == "Knight") {d.innerHTML = "<b>Knight</b><br />This character is a physical user. You are powerful with attacks, but weak against magic."} if (s == "Archer") {d.innerHTML = "<b>Archer</b><br />This character is a unique user. You can attack twice, but can't equip shields."} if (s == "Thief") {d.innerHTML = "<b>Thief</b><br />This character lurks in the shadows. He is crafty, weak attacks, decent magic."} if (s == "") {d.innerHTML = "Please Select a Character Class to view more information."} } </script> Code: <select name="Character_Class" id="CharClass" onchange="showDetails(this)"> <option value="" selected="selected">Choose a Class</option> <option value="Enchantress">Enchantress</option> <option value="Knight">Knight</option> <option value="Archer">Archer</option> <option value="Thief">Thief</option> </select> Code: <li><div id="classDescription"></div></li> Similar TutorialsI 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.) I have html like this Code: <form> <select name="otype[]" class="txtText" id="otype[]"> <option value="Processing">Processing</option> <option value="Shipped">Shipped</option> </select> some code...... <select name="otype[]" class="txtText" id="otype[]"> <option value="Processing">Processing</option> <option value="Shipped">Shipped</option> </select> some code....... <select name="otype[]" class="txtText" id="otype[]"> <option value="Processing">Processing</option> <option value="Shipped">Shipped</option> </select> I need to change all select lists options to "Shipped" if admin clicks on "Shipped" on top of the page and "Processing" if customer clicks on "Processing" link (<a href="javascript:select_processing()">Processing</a>) Can somebody help me in doing so? 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 <head> <style> input{background-color:#B0D0BC;text-align:center} </style> <script> order=["c_01.jpg"] function roll(){ {r=Math.ceil(Math.random()*5) document.images[0].src="c_0"+r+".jpg" t.value=t.value+"\n"+r} {r=Math.ceil(Math.random()*5) document.images[1].src="c_0"+r+".jpg" t.value=t.value+" "+r} {r=Math.ceil(Math.random()*5) document.images[2].src="c_0"+r+".jpg" t.value=t.value+" "+r} {r=Math.ceil(Math.random()*5) document.images[3].src="c_0"+r+".jpg" t.value=t.value+" "+r} {r=Math.ceil(Math.random()*5) document.images[4].src="c_0"+r+".jpg" t.value=t.value+" "+r} } function swap(n){ remember=document.images[n].src= document.images[n].src="c_01.jpg" remember=order[n] } </script> <div align="center"><center><table border="4" cellpadding="5" bgcolor="#E0E0DC"> <tr> <td> <img src="c_01.jpg" alt="100" onclick="swap(0)"></td> <td> <img src="c_02.jpg" alt="100" onclick="swap(1)"></td> <td> <img src="c_03.jpg" alt="100" onclick="swap(2)"></td> <td> <img src="c_04.jpg" alt="100" onclick="swap(3)"></td> <td> <img src="c_05.jpg" alt="100" onclick="swap(4)"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5" align="center"> Select A Value: <select name="hi"> <option value="hi1" onchange="swap(0)">1</option> <option value="hi2" onchange="swap(1)">2</option> <option value="hi3" onchange="swap(2)">3</option> <option value="hi4" onchange="swap(3)">4</option> <option value="hi5" onchange="swap(4)">5</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5" align="center"> <input type="button" onclick="roll()" value="roll them"> <br> <textarea name="t" cols="40" rows="12" >History Of Roles</textarea> Hello all, I am having a problem, and since I am quite new in the Javascript code I hope somebody can help me here. This is my current code: Code: <select class="Form" name="opties"> <option value="AAA">AAA</option> <option value="BBB">BBB</option> <option value="SLX" selected>Selecteer optie</option> </select> Now my intention is the following: When the option with value SLX gets selected it needs to get a special css style. It is not a problem to give the option this style in the list itself, but once selected it always changes to the original style (standard font and color) in Chrome and Mozilla. Now I searched on the net and sometimes I find things like this: Code: function displayOption(divName) { document.getElementById(divName).innerText=document.form1.select1.options[document.form1.select1.selectedIndex].value; } <select class="Form" name="opties" onChange="displayOption('div1');"> <option value="AAA">AAA</option> <option value="BBB">BBB</option> <option value="SLX" selected>Selecteer optie</option> </select> But I suppose this always changes the style of the selected item? It only needs to change when the option SLX is chosen... Anyone knows how to solve this problem? 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> Let say I typed the word "Red", on input type text, is it possible with Ajax or Javascript to auto focus (highlight) the word "Red" on the select drop down list.

Hello, I have this reservation form found on the main page of: http://www.avis.com.lb/ As you can see the current month "August" is selected as the default month and so is the year and day (the day is programmed to jump 2 days ahead for the renting of the car...) However if you look closely (check the screenshot attached) you'll see that the month "August" is repeated twice and so is the year "2009", the current month is repeated twice. What I wanna do is remove the duplication and just auto select the current month without duplicating it. I found this code: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Prog..._24229186.html But it doesn't seem to work with my form, I donno why. Here is the code of the script both javascript and a little bit of php PHP Code: $date = strtotime("+2 day"); $date2 = date('j',$date); $date4 = strtotime("+5 day"); $date3 = date('j',$date4); if($date3 == 1){ $nextmonth = strtotime("+1 day"); $monthid = date('m',$nextmonth); }else{ $nextmonth = strtotime("+0 day"); $monthid = date('m',$nextmonth); } if ($monthid==1){ $year = date("Y") + 1; }else{ $year = date("Y"); } //$pupday = date("j") - 12; //$pupday = date("d") + 2; //echo $pupday; //$returnday = date("d") +5; $month = date("F"); Code: var xMonths = new Array( '01', '02', '03', '04', '05', '06', '07', '08', '09', '10', '11', '12' ); function getListValue( option_object ){return option_object[ option_object.selectedIndex ].value;} function setListValue( option_object, value ){ option_object.selectedIndex = value;} function addDays(myDate,days) { return new Date(myDate.getTime() + days*24*60*60*1000); } function init() { xToday = new Date(); yToday = addDays(new Date(),3); xMonth = xToday.getMonth(); xDay = xToday.getDate()-1; xYear = xToday.getYear()-2005; if (xYear < 2005) xYear=0; yMonth = yToday.getMonth(); yDay = yToday.getDate()-1; yYear = yToday.getYear()-2005; if (yYear < 2005) yYear=0; xF = document.forms['quickbooking']; setListValue( xF.ETAHour, 9 ) setListValue( xF.ETAMonth, xMonth ) setListValue( xF.ETADay, xDay ) setListValue( xF.ETAYear, xYear ) setListValue( xF.ETTHour, 9 ) setListValue( xF.ETTMonth, yMonth ) setListValue( xF.ETTDay, yDay ) setListValue( xF.ETTYear, yYear ) } Code: <select class="formField" name="ETAMonth"> <option value="<? echo $monthid; ?>" selected="selected"><? echo $month; ?></option> <option value="01">January</option> <option value="02">February</option> <option value="03">March</option> <option value="04">April</option> <option value="05">May</option> <option value="06">June</option> <option value="07">July</option> <option value="08">August</option> <option value="09">September</option> <option value="10">October</option> <option value="11">November</option> <option value="12">December</option> </select> <select class="formField" name="ETAYear"> <option value="<? echo $year; ?>" selected="selected"><? echo $year; ?></option> <option value="2008">2008</option> <option value="2009">2009</option> <option value="2010">2010</option> </select> Help is very appreciated, thanks. 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" Hello, I don't know if this can be done in Javascript, or requires any other language but i was wondering if this would be possible. I would like to embed this Javascript code in to a PHP file and then for it to run automatically upon the PHP file loading: Code: <td class="smallDesc"> <a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script> </td> The Javascirpt is the Facebook Share button that basically allows users that have Facebook to share the page there currently on in their Facebook status by pressing the button, but if there not logged in it shows the login page, not a problem just continue the script. The current button i which is what i want to load automatically in the PHP file is located here, to test the functionalilty just click "Share" button in blue.. http://watch-movies-online.anyfilman...-Movie-17.html To summarise, i would like the above Javascript code to execute automatically upon pageload of this PHP file.. http://www.watch-movies-online.anyfi...p://google.com. If that could be done, and if this also is possible.. i would like for the "Share" button on the external page that is loaded from the Javascript code above to be clicked automatically so in effect when ever someone visits the PHP page after clicking "Click Here to Watch/Stream 2012 Online For Free" on this page it will automatically load the Facebook Share box, and automatically click the "Share" Button and then close the page if possible, but not required. Please feel free to ask any questions, i'll be happy to answer. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Jonathan. Hey chaps, hope someone can help with this: I have a PHP form, with a couple of dynamic Select menus, which are populated from two SQL tables: // tbl_main_colour: Code: ID, NAME 1, Red 2, Blue 3, Green // tbl_shade_colour: Code: ID, NAME, FK_MAIN_COLOUR_ID 1, Light Red, 1 2, Dark Red, 1 3, Light Blue, 2 4, Dark Blue, 2 5, Light Green, 3 6, Dark Green, 3 What I'm after is something to filter the second select option, after the first select option has been chosen // Select 1: Code: Red // Select 2: Code: Light Red Dark Red I'm pretty sure this is possible, but not sure how to go about it, any help would be most appreciated. I've been having problems getting my select option to change the options of another select option. I'm not much of a javacsript coder, so I'm at a lost. When I select the first option nothing appears in the second option. here's the javascript code: Code: function createOption(OptionText, OptionValue){ var temp = document.captcha_form("option"); temp.innerHTML = OptionText; temp.value = OptionValue; return temp; } function valChange(){ var firstList = document.getElementById("emailaddress"); var secondList = document.getElementById("subject"); while(secondList.hasChildNodes()) secondList.removeChild(secondList.childNodes[0]); switch(firstList.value){ case "1":{ secondList.appendChild(createOption("Report Site Browsing Issue", Report Site Browsing Issues)); secondList.appendChild(createOption("Report Page Errors", Report Page Errors)); secondList.appendChild(createOption("Other", Other)); break; } case "2":{ secondList.appendChild(createOption("Report Unauthorized Game", Report Unauthorized Game)); secondList.appendChild(createOption("Report Spam", Report Spam)); secondList.appendChild(createOption("Report Harassment", Report Harassment)); secondList.appendChild(createOption("Report Illegal Activities", Report Illegal Activities)); secondList.appendChild(createOption("Request Account Removal", Request Account Removal)); break; } // .... default:{ secondList.appendChild(createOption("Please select from the first list", "")); break; } } } window.onload = valChange; this is the form code Code: <div class="mailto_form"> <form method="POST" id="captcha_form" name="captcha_form" action="../includes/mailform.php"> <div style="padding-bottom: 1em;">Choose Recipient: <select name="emailaddress" id="emailaddress" onchange="valChange();"> <option value=""></option> <option value="1">Webmaster</option> <option value="2">Admin</option> </select> </div> <div style="padding-bottom: 1em;">Subject: <br /><select name="subject" id="subject"> </div> <div style="padding-bottom: 1em;">From: <br /><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value=""> </div> <div style="padding-bottom: 1em;">Enter the text contained in the image into the text box: <br /><img src="../includes/captcha.php" /> <br /><input type="text" name="userpass" value=""> </div> <div style="padding-bottom: 1em;">Message: <br /><textarea name="message" id="message" rows="10" cols="60"><?php echo "</tex" .

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 Vinny Hello, I am trying to make a simple code that has a selection list (with the choice fruit or veggie). When the user chooses fruit, the second list displays the options apple, orange, banana. When the user changes their choice to veggie, the second select list then contains carrot, corn, potatoes (and the apple, orange, banana disappear).

Then another box shows up allowing another selection to be made which runs through the javascript(function getDays) and updates another div(mgmtdate). My problem is that when I use the second box to run through javascript, it overwrites what shows up in the first div (mgmthours) when it should be updating a different div (mgmtdate). Any ideas what I can do to get it update the relevant div and not overwrite the other one? Here is part of the javascript I have in my page head: Code: function getMgmtHours(str) { if (str=="") { document.getElementById("mgmthours").innerHTML=""; return; } if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) { document.getElementById("mgmthours").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText; } } xmlhttp.open("GET","getmgmthours.php?dist="+str,true); xmlhttp.send(); } function getDays(str) { if (str=="") { document.getElementById("mgmtdate").innerHTML=""; return; } if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) { document.getElementById("mgmtdate").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText; } } xmlhttp.open("GET","getdates.php?sunday="+str,true); xmlhttp.send(); } Here is the HTML/PHP portion being used: PHP Code: echo "<p>"; echo "Submit hours:"; echo "<form>"; echo "<select name='district' onchange='getMgmtHours(this.value)'>"; echo "<option value=''>Select a district:</option> <option value='1'>1</option> <option value='3'>3</option> <option value='4'>4</option>"; echo "</select>"; echo "</form>"; echo "</p>" echo "<p>"; echo "<form action='./hours.php' method='post' onSubmit='return checkMgmtHours'>"; echo "Weekending Day: "; echo "<select name='weekending' onchange='getDays(this.value)'>"; echo "<option value=''>Choose a Date:</option>"; while ($week < 32) { $nextsunday = strtotime("next Sunday"); if ($week > 0) { $timestamp = strtotime("-" . $week . " week", $nextsunday); } else { $timestamp = $nextsunday;} $weekending = date('M. d, Y', $timestamp); echo "<option value='" . $weekending . "'>" . $weekending . "</option>"; $week = $week + 1; } echo "</select>"; echo "<div id='mgmtdate' />"; echo "<div id='mgmthours' />"; echo "</p>"; Edit: Also, after getMgmtHours() runs, I can still use both getDays and getMgmtHours, howeer once I used getDays, I am no longer able to use getMgmtHours w/o refreshing the page. I've got some directory list boxes on the site I'm working on. I made them big and fixed rather than drop-down so they're easier to use in this context. But I had to enable the "multiple" attribute to make that work. The site has no provision for multiple selections so it's a tad annoying when the search function selects more than one name in the list. It doesn't really affect the site's operation but it could be confusing to some people. Is there a way to make the listbox show multiple selections without allowing multiple selections? Thanks for any help. <select onchange="display.apply(this, this.value.split(','))" multiple="multiple" id="People" name="People" style="border-style: none; height:244px; width:220px; margin-bottom: 15px;"> <option>Loading</option> </select> I have a select box that has ~7000 options, that based on a different dropdown select & input field, gets filtered to 0 - 300 entries. I have another select dropdown that has 13000+ options in total for all the ~7000 entries, but each entry may have 1 to 5 options of these 13000. Is there a way to change the options of the last select dropdown based on what the user chooses in the filtered select box? Currently the idea I'm having is to have the browser load all 13000+ items and filter out the ones that don't apply to the currently selected item, but I'm not sure what kind of lag the user would experience while the browser loads & filters through all these items. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |
