JavaScript - Storing The Selected Value From A Drop Down List
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! Similar TutorialsHi all, I have been struggling on a bit of code for a while now. I need to populate a second drop down list (Region) based upon the selection of the first (County). I have found a piece of code that works on its own and have adapted to suit my needs - see below. However, when I drop it into my main page the javascript is not working. It's because of the formObject but I just don't know enough to resolve this! Furthermore, I need the textboxes the user has already completed in the form to retain their value once the javascript kicks in as the completed form will submit to a database. This piece of code is working well . . . . Code: <?php
$link = mysql_connect('myhost', 'myusername', 'mypassword') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('mydatabase') or die('Could not select database');
if(isset($_GET["County"]) && is_numeric($_GET["County"]))
{
$County = $_GET["County"];
}
if(isset($_GET["Region"]) && is_numeric($_GET["Region"]))
{
$Region = $_GET["Region"];
}
?>
<script language="JavaScript">
function autoSubmit()
{
var formObject = document.forms['theForm'];
formObject.submit();
}
</script>
<form name="theForm" method="get">
<!-- County SELECTION BASED ON city VALUE -->
<?php
?>
<select name="County" onChange="autoSubmit();">
<option value=''</option>
<?php
//POPULATE DROP DOWN MENU WITH COUNTRIES FROM A GIVEN city
$sql = "SELECT * FROM county_regions";
$counties = mysql_query($sql,$link);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($counties))
{
echo ("<option value=\"$row[CountyID]\" " . ($County == $row["CountyID"]? " selected" : "") . ">$row[County]</option>");
}
?>
</select>
<?php
?>
<br><br>
<?php
if($County!= null && is_numeric($County))
{
?>
<select name="Region" onChange="autoSubmit();">
<?php
//POPULATE DROP DOWN MENU WITH RegionS FROM A GIVEN city, County
$sql = "SELECT * FROM county_regions WHERE CountyID = $County ";
$Regions = mysql_query($sql,$link);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($Regions))
{
echo ("<option value=\"$row[CountyID]\" " . ($Region == $row["CountyID"]? " selected" : "") . ">$row[Region]</option>");
}
?>
</select>
<?php
}
?>
What follows is my form where the javascript is not working - edited quite a bit to save on space! Code:

var formObject = document.forms['subform'];
formObject.submit();

It's probably obvious to you guys!! Thanks in advance for your help. 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> 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'); } if (chosen == "3") { selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('third choice - option one','threeone'); selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('third choice - option two','threetwo'); } } </script> </head> <body> <form name="myform"><div class="centre"> <select name="optone" size="1" onchange="setOptions(document.myform.optone.options[document.myform.optone.selectedIndex].value);"> <option id="0" value=" " selected="selected"> </option> <option id="1" value="1">First Option</option> <option id="2" value="2">Second Choice</option> <option id="3" value="3">Third Choice</option> </select><br /> <br /> <select name="opttwo" size="1"> <option value=" " selected="selected">Please select one of the options above first</option> </select> <input type="button" name="go" value="Value Selected" onclick="alert(document.myform.opttwo.options[document.myform.opttwo.selectedIndex].value);"> </div></form> </body> </html> So how do I get CHOSEN to equal the ID not the value ? Thanks 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? Hello 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 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>

i am not able to find the error Please help me Thank you in advance 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?? Hello i use a javascript to use drop down lists so i display the appropriate products to user. Atm no matter the user option i display 3 drop down lists in whole products. Lets say the drop down lists are like manufacturer/order by/sochet. When the user wish to see "processors" then the sochet list have values, but when he choose "printers" the sochet list is empty since the printers dont contan sochets. In this case i want to hide the sochet drop down list in order to be more familiar to the user is that possible? My js looks like this Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function showUser()
{
var q=document.getElementById("manuf");
var q_val = q.options[q.selectedIndex].value;
var t=document.getElementById("soch");
var t_val = t.options[t.selectedIndex].value;
var c=document.getElementById("order");
var c_val = c.options[c.selectedIndex].value;
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()
{
var q=document.getElementById("manuf");
var q_val = q.options[q.selectedIndex].value;
var t=document.getElementById("soch");
var t_val = t.options[t.selectedIndex].value;
var c=document.getElementById("order");
var c_val = c.options[c.selectedIndex].value;
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","productsdata.php?q=" + q_val + "&t=" + t_val+"&c=" +c_val, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
and my drop down lists like PHP Code: <select name="products2" id="soch" onchange="showUser()"> <option value="" selected="selected">Sochet</option> <?php do { ?> <option value="<?php echo $row_sochet['sochet']?>"><?php echo $row_sochet['sochet']?></option> <?php } while ($row_sochet = mysql_fetch_assoc($sochet)); $rows = mysql_num_rows($sochet); if($rows > 0) { mysql_data_seek($sochet, 0); $row_sochet = mysql_fetch_assoc($sochet); } ?> </select> Hello All, I am trying to create a three drop down lists for my job. The three drop downs would be: Degree Type (certificate, associate's, bachelor's, etc) Category (Arts & Humanities, Automotive, Computers & IT etc.) Program (Desktop Publishing, Automotive Technician Training, Network Systems, etc.) The Category list needs to be dependent on the degree type and the Program list needs to be dependent on the Category list. I need to have values that will submit to my form but ONLY for the Program List. For example: <option value="CECS">Cisco</option> <option value="CEIT">Information Technology (General)</option> <option value="CEMS">Microsoft</option> <option value="CENSYS">Network Systems</option> Please note that I must use these program codes as values and I cannot use the option name as the value. This does not have to look good, it just needs to work as it is for internal use only within my company. This form will never be used by random web surfers. If someone can point me to a tutorial for a good triple drop down that will pass ONLY the values of the third list, that would be great! Thanks! Hi There. I've been reading this forum for quite sometime, but today is my first post, hope you guys can help. Here is how the code works: (its like a phone directory) -User first selects the dept. -Once selected, a second drop down populates with the names of each person in that department. -I want the contact info to show on the page once they select this last step.

Thanks for any help in advanced! Hi everyone, My website has 10 drop down lists. And I want to carry out form validation.

I would appreciate any kind of help. Thanks! Hello everyone! =] I need help with Javascript. I want to have a script that if one chooses to register for dinner, then validation will be performed to ensure whether the user have chosen that they are Vegetarian or not. If the user chooses not to attend dinner, then there is no need to validate the Vegetarian option. Here's the code: Code: <p>Register for Conference Dinner?<select type="text" name="conf_dinner" id="conf_dinner">
<option> Please Select </option> <option value="N">No</option>
<option value="Y">Yes</option>
</select></p>
<p>
Are you a vegetarian?<select type="text" name="vegetarian" id="vegetarian">
<option value="N">No</option>
<option value="Y">Yes</option>
</select></p>
I am working on a website that involves a pizza. I have a drop down box with the following options: small, medium, large, and extra large. When the user selects small the topping price is $0.75 each, when the user selects medium the topping price is $1.00 each, when the user selects large the topping price is $1.25 each, and when the user selects extra large the topping price is $1.25 each. I the problem is no matter what size the user selects the topping price is always $0.75. Here is code that goes with the drop down box : Code: <td height="49" align="right"><label for="Pizza_Size">Size</label>
<select name="Pizza_Size" id="Pizza_Size" onchange = "SetToppingPrice()" />
<option value="Small_Pizza">Small ($4.99)</option>
<option value="Medium_Pizza">Medium ($5.99)</option>
<option value="Large_Pizza">Large ($7.99)</option>
<option value="X_Large_Pizza">X-Large ($10.99)</option>
</select></td>
Here is the Javascript code: Code: // JavaScript Document
function SetToppingPrice() {
var Pizza_Topping_Price = document.getElementById("Pizza_Size");
divOutput = document.getElementById("Display_Topping_Price");
if(Pizza_Topping_Price = "Small_Pizza") {
divOutput.innerHTML = "$0.75 per topping";}
else if (Pizza_Topping_Price = "Medium_Pizza") {
divOutput.innerHTML = "$1.00 per topping";}
else if (Pizza_Topping_Price = "Large_Pizza") {
divOutput.innerHTML = "$1.25 per topping";}
else if (Pizza_Topping_Price = "X_Large_Pizza") {
divOutput.innerHTML = "$1.50 per topping";}
}
Any advice is greatly appreciated. i need help on designing a drop down list menu. this rolls down and shows other list of options to click on. i work in dreamweaver so javascripts and others can be incorporated. thanks all Hi All, I am really stumped. I am not sure why it's not working. Basically, selecting a country will pre-populate the state field for both billing and shipping sections. Please help! Also, when copying the billing info from shipping, the state field doesn't seem to copy over. I have attached the entire code as a text file (part1 + part2 = complete code). Thanks! I use a ticketing website at a call center. I have javascript injection bookmarks with some of the more common issues, but my issue is even after I populate everything when I try to submit the ticket, it won't recognize that somethign is there unless i go through and hit enter in each form i autopopulated. javascript:if((top.arid1000000000.value="Inquiry - ")!=""); Most are drop down lists. Is there any way to submit each form(when i hit enter) after the text gets entered in there? Hi, I've checked the boards and was unable to find something that matched the code that I have. The code basically uses radio buttons to populate results to a drop-down list depending on the radio button they choose. I'm having trouble figuring out where and how to add the redirection url for each of the value choices in the drop down. I was told something about using window.location('http://url.here') and then to populate the location parameter with the array value. Does this mean I have to redo my script or can another piece of code be added on to make it work. How do I alter my existing code? Thanks in advance for any help I can get: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var services = new Array();
services['Tutoring'] = ['Grady', 'Holy Innocents', 'North Springs', 'Paideia', 'Riverwood', 'School Not Listed?'];
services['Recording'] = ['John Doe'];

{
var serviceList = services[choice];
changeSelect('service', serviceList, serviceList);
document.getElementById('service').disabled = false;
document.getElementById('service').onchange();
}
function changeservice(serviceValue)

return;

I want to compare items based on what the user picks there will be 3 drop down menus and the drop down menus should alter the HTML table each time it is changed, giving different option values and stuff. I am wondering how to go about this I have the basic stuff setup but I am not really sure how to add to a table that all 3 options use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my current code for the drop downs. Code: <form name="compare"> <select name="compare"> <option value="V1">Value 1</option> <option value="V2">Value 2</option> <option value="V3">Value 3</option> <option value="V4">Value 4</option> </select> <select name="compare2"> <option value="V1">Value 1</option> <option value="V2">Value 2</option> <option value="V3">Value 3</option> <option value="V4">Value 4</option> </select> <select name="compare3"> <option value="V1">Value 1</option> <option value="V2">Value 2</option> <option value="V3">Value 3</option> <option value="V4">Value 4</option> </select> <input type="button" onClick="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="Compare"> </form> I want the user to select one of the options from above and a table to show up showing the differences between the others for example; someone selects Value 1 for compare, and Value 2 for compare 2, and Value 3 for Compare 3, they should be shown a table which has the differences between Value 1, Value 2, Value 3. So lets say Value 1 and Value 3 offers you "Help" while value 2 doesn't. it should show a table that says Features Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Help YES NO YES how would I go about doing this? hi, i am currently working on aptana stuidio Nokia WRT to create a mobile widget. the projects requires the retrieval of data from a database. I've created a java servlet in eclipse to connect and execute query to the database. In aptana, i'm using js file and html file. i am able to connect to the servlet, process the data (split it) and store in an array to display the retrieved data on screen. But now i am facing problems to put the retrieved data (array) into a drop down list for selection. can i do it in a js file? thanks =) |
