I found a custom select dropdown with button redirect code. It works with one dropdown, but I want to make two dropdown menus.
I tried adding var's for select-id2, but script stopped working and nothing happened.
<select id="select-id1">
<option value="" selected="">First category</option>
<option value="http://example.com">Example</option>
</select>
<select id="select-id2">
<option value="" selected="">Second category</option>
<option value="/page">Page</option>
</select>
<button onclick="siteRedirect()">GO</button>
<script>
function siteRedirect() {
var selectbox = document.getElementById("select-id");
var selectedValue = selectbox.options[selectbox.selectedIndex].value;
window.location.href = selectedValue;
}
</script>
First one (select-id1) should have domain example.com, and the second one (select-id2) should add /page on the first one. So the redirection link should be example.com/page.
Is there any way to do with this code?
You are searching for the element with id="select-id". When only select-id1 and select-id2 exists.
Try this:
function siteRedirect() {
var select1 = document.querySelector("#select-id1"),
select2 = document.querySelector("#select-id2");
var category = select1.options[select1.selectedIndex].value,
subcategory = select2.options[select2.selectedIndex].value;
redirect = category+subcategory;
console.log("Redirect to: "+redirect);
}
<select id="select-id1">
<option value="" selected="">First category</option>
<option value="http://example.com">Example</option>
</select>
<select id="select-id2">
<option value="" selected="">Second category</option>
<option value="/page">Page</option>
</select>
<button onclick="siteRedirect()">GO</button>
You are not getting a reference to the second <select> element. You just added it to your HTML, your script is unaware of it.
var selectbox2 = document.getElementById("select-id2");
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/getElementById
This will make it redirect to whatever is the value of select-id2 option element
<select id="select-id2">
<option value="" selected="">Second category</option>
<option value="/page">Page</option>
</select>
<button onclick="siteRedirect()">GO</button>
<script>
function siteRedirect() {
var selectbox = document.getElementById('select-id2');
var selectedValue = selectbox.options[selectbox.selectedIndex].value;
window.location.href = selectedValue;
}
</script>
You want to join split URLs together, for that, you have to concatenate the two parts and you can do it simply parsing the values on JS (as JavaScript already stores data into variables as strings, so you shouldn't have a problem with that)
The logic is pretty much like this :
var link1 = document.getElementById("select-id1").value;
var link2 = document.getElementById("select-id2").value;
var joined = link1 + link2
function siteRedirect() {
window.location.href = joined;
}
See if that helps you
Thats it! Thank you all, but especially to k3llydev!
So. The final code is :
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<select id="select-id1">
<option value="" selected="">First category</option>
<option value="example.com">Example</option>
</select>
<select id="select-id2">
<option value="" selected="">Second category</option>
<option value="/page">Page</option>
</select>
<button onclick="siteRedirect()">GO</button>
<script>
function siteRedirect() {
var select1 = document.querySelector("#select-id1"),
select2 = document.querySelector("#select-id2");
var category = select1.options[select1.selectedIndex].value,
subcategory = select2.options[select2.selectedIndex].value;
redirect = category+subcategory;
/*console.log("Redirect to: "+redirect);*/
window.location.href = redirect;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Solved!

I have the following drop down menu.
<select id="MySelectMenu">
<option value="#">-*-*- Main Accounts -*-*-</option>
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option>
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</option>
<option value="http://www.example.com">Example</option>
</select>
Is it possible for me to add two text input fields where the visitor can populate the menu options themselves?
For example, in text field one they input the url for the option, and text field two, they input the name of the option.
So...
Text field one: http://www.randomwebsite.com
Text field two: Random Website
Then an 'Add' button, which would result in this...
<select id="MySelectMenu">
<option value="#">-*-*- Main Accounts -*-*-</option>
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option>
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</option>
<option value="http://www.example.com">Example</option>
<option value="http://www.randomwebsite.com">Random Website</option>
</select>
This is the javascript for the current menu, if this helps.
<script type="text/javascript">
function newSrc() {
var e = document.getElementById("MySelectMenu");
var newSrc = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
document.getElementById("MyFrame").src=newSrc;
}
</script>
Thanks in advance.
Yes Create two textboxes and Add id's to them and also create a button with a onclick function "Add", Then use the following javascript which is nothing but creating the option and appending to selectbox
function Add()
{
var x = document.getElementById("MySelectMenu");
var opt = document.createElement("option");
opt.value= document.getElementById("url").value;
opt.innerHTML = document.getElementById("name").value; // whatever property it has
x.add(opt);
}
<select id="MySelectMenu">
<option value="#">-*-*- Main Accounts -*-*-</option>
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option>
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</option>
<option value="http://www.example.com">Example</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
<input type="url" name="url" id="url">
<button onclick="Add()">ADD</button>
Try below code
var url=$("#txtUrl").val();
var textValue = $("#txtDisplay").val();
$('#MySelectMenu').append("<option value='"+url+"'>"+textValue+"</option>);
use this code on OnClick event of Add button.
I'm trying to achieve one simple requirement, but couldn't make it!
My requirement is very simple - wanna display some alert to the user based on the options he selects from the drop down.
Below is the code, I've designed now. Please check and correct me where I'm going wrong.
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
var txt = this.getField("ddPortfolio").value;
If(txt == "Distribution")
window.alert("distribution");
</SCRIPT>
<div style="float:right">
<select name = "ddPortfolio">
<option value="volvo">-- Select Option --</option>
<option value="saab">Training</option>
<option value="mercedes">Internal</option>
<option value="audi">External</option>
</select>
</div>
You have some syntax errors. Also there is no Distribution value in your options. I think you want this:
html
<div style="float:right">
<select name = "ddPortfolio" onchange="test(this);">
<option value="volvo">-- Select Option --</option>
<option value="saab">Training</option>
<option value="mercedes">Internal</option>
<option value="audi">External</option>
</select>
</div>
js
function test(obj){
var txt = obj.value;
if(txt == "audi"){
window.alert("audi");
}
}
fiddle
HTML
<select onchange="getval(this);">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
</select>
SCRIPT
<script type="text/javascript">
function getval(sel) {
alert(sel.value) ;
}
</script>
Simple Drop down box working using javascript.
You checked If(txt == "Distribution") but that was not one of the options in your select in the code you provided. also it's the onchange triegger you need
You also need to add an id to the select so you can reference it for example
HTML snippet
<select name = "ddPortfolio" id = "ddPortfolio">
Javscript
var MyColumn = document.getElementById("ddPortfolio");
MyColumn.onchange = function(){if (MyColumn.value == "audi") {alert('hi');}};

Is is possible to swap a .load text with one that can be edited by a user using form input or something similar? Basically I'm trying to write a code that fetches information using the div IDs (unique per emp) that hold their information within tables within multiple HTML documents for many years.
Example:
.load('day.html #empId')
the "day" and "empid" part of .load can be changed on the user end.
[Link] [ID] submit
then it runs the rest of the script.
The part of the script I'm trying to make adjustable:
$('a').click(function() {
$('#metrics').load('day.html #empId', function() {
$(this).hide()
.appendTo('#main')
.slideDown(500);
});
return false;
})
});
I'm not sure if I explained it clear enough(new to jquery)
Get the selected options of two form select elements, combine into string and insert them into the jQuery .load function.
$('a').click(function() {
var ds = $('#datasources option:selected').text();
var empId = $('#empIds option:selected').text();
$('#metrics').load(ds + '.html #' + empId, function() {
$(this).hide()
.appendTo('#main')
.slideDown(500);
});
return false;
});
And the HTML affected:
<div id="main">
<h1 id="metrics">Metrics</h1>
</div>
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/a8dTR/ (Open the console to see what's going on. This will give an error because the loading won't work on JSFiddle but you can see it's send the correct argument.)
FIXED IT!!!!!! I'm pretty sure its terrible practice, but it gets the job done(tried it with multiple docs and ids). If anyone has suggestions for a better way I'm all ears
I know it's pretty bare and basic, but here's the code in case anyone else wanted to do something similar
I put back in $<'div id= metrics'/> in order to open it in a new div tag appended to #main
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('a').click(function() {
var pD = $('#period').val();
var wD = $('#week').val();
var dD = $('#day').val();
var eD = $('#empId').val();
$('<div id"metrics" />').load(
pD
+ wD
+ dD
+ eD, function(){
$(this).hide()
.appendTo('#main')
.slideDown(1000);
});
});
});
</script>
I then removed then .html # from the function and just added it in as a value to #empId options
<form>
<select class="dates" id="period">
<option value="p00"class="emp">Period</option>
<option value="p01">1</option>
<option value="p02">2</option>
<option value="p03">3</option>
<option value="p04">4</option>
<option value="p05">5</option>
<option value="p06">6</option>
<option value="p07">7</option>
<option value="p08">8</option>
<option value="p09">9</option>
<option value="p10">10</option>
<option value="p11">11</option>
<option value="p12">12</option>
<option value="p13">13</option>
<option value="p14">14</option>
</select>
<select class="dates" id="week">
<option Value="w00"class="emp">Week</option>
<option value="w01">1</option>
<option value="w02">2</option>
<option value="w03">3</option>
<option value="w04">4</option>
<option value="w05">5</option>
<option value="w06">6</option>
</select>
<select class="dates" id="day">
<option value="d00"class="emp">Select Day or Leave Blank for Week</option>
<option value="d01">1</option>
<option value="d02">2</option>
<option value="d03">3</option>
<option value="d04">4</option>
<option value="d05">5</option>
<option value="d06">6</option>
<option value="d07">7</option>
</select>
<select id="empId">
<option class="emp">Employee ID</option>
<option value=".html #JXS0001">John Smith</option>
</select>
Load Metrics
</form>
</div>
<div id="main">
<h1>Metrics</h1>
</div>
I still have a lot of bedazelling to do(such as making the emp id dynamic and editable from a separate html) but that's the fun part(and I know how haha). Anywho thanks a million for helping this newb out #bloodyKnuckles
I've got a number of drop downs on a page that filter a list. However, when I try to get those values within a function I get nothing returned every time!
I've tried the following: -
var browserVal= document.getElementById("browser").options[document.getElementById("browser").selectedIndex].value;
var browserVal= document.getElementById("browser").options[document.getElementById("browser").selectedIndex].text;
I've also tried: -
systemVal = $("#browser").children("option").filter(":selected").val();
systemVal = $("#browser").children("option").filter(":selected").value;
systemVal = $("#browser").children("option").filter(":selected").text();
As well as: -
var browserVal= $("#browser").text()
var browserVal= $("#browser").val()
The items are setup like so: -
<fieldset class="buttons">
system
<select id="System" class="filterField" name="System" style="width:250px">
<option value="">Please Select</option>
<option value="3">Processing</option>
<option value="2">Other</option>
<option value="1">Reporting</option>
</select>
Browser
<select id="browser" class="filterField" style="width:175px" name="browser">
<option value="">Please Select</option>
<option value="IE">IE</option>
<option value="RND">RND</option>
<option value="FF">FF</option>
<option value="CH">CH</option>
</select>
</fieldSet>
Any suggestions to alternatives that I could try I'm out of ideas as an identical approach on a different page works fine... :S
You can get selected value of drop down like this
var dropDown=document.getElementById("browser");
var selectedValue=dropDown[dropDown.selectedIndex].value;
Similarly You can do This to get text
var e = document.getElementById("browser");
var strUser = e.options[e.selectedIndex].text;
Try this:
systemVal = $("#browser").find("option:selected").val();
here is my code:
function setActualDate()
{
var d1 = new Date();
var y = d1.getFullYear();
var d = d1.getDate();
var m1 = d1.getMonth() + 1;
var m2 = d1.getMonth();
document.getElementById('entryDate').value = (y+"-"+m1+"-"+d);
document.getElementById('selectedYear').value = y;
document.getElementById('selectedMonth').value = ("0"+m2);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="setActualDate()">
<div id="page">

I used simple javascript to automatically fill the form inputs "entryDate, selectedYear, selectedMonth" by actual date and some other dates used by the further scripts.
My problem is, that when the site is loaded, only first input is automatically filled - the input with id = entryDate.
The next 2 inputs are empty. But, when I press F5 and the site is reloaded again, the 2 inputs are filled correctly.
Could you please help me fix it to have all 3 forms filled when the site is loaded for the first time...
Thank you
You are not using <select> and <option> correctly. <select> represents a dropdown, which can contain multiple <option> elements.
An <option> element represents an option in the dropdown. You close an <option> with </option>. Whatever is BETWEEN the tags will appear in the dropdown:
<option>Hello</option> <!--user sees "Hello" as an option in the dropdown-->
On the other hand, an <option>'s value attribute contains the string that will be sent to the server, if the option is selected, when the form is submitted. You can think of this as the "real" value of the <option>: the user won't see it, but it's the one that matters. Whatever is between <option> and </option> is visible by the user, but doesn't actually DO anything.
Any one of a dropdown's options can be "selected" (that is, visible as the chosen option in the dropdown) by giving it a selected attribute set to selected (selected="selected"). When a user chooses an option, this attribute gets set automatically (and the selected attribute on the other options gets cleared).
So first of all, let's get your selectedYear dropdown looking right. You'll need to manually provide some years as options:
<select id="selectedYear" name="year">
<option value="2013">2013</option>
<option value="2012">2012</option>
<option value="2011">2011</option>
</select>
Note that you need to specify the year both between the tags AND in each <option>'s value attribute, as explained above. Also note that I moved the id to the <select>. There's rarely a reason to select an individual <option> of a <select>; typically to modify a dropdown's options, you should select the <select> tag itself.
So, let's try that. I'll re-create the dropdown above, but I'll add its options using JavaScript:
<select id="selectedYear" name="year"></select>
<script type="text/javascript">
var dropdown = document.getElementById('selectedYear');
var start_year = 2011;
var end_year = 2013;
for (var i = start_year; i <= end_year; i++) {
dropdown.innerHTML += '<option value="' + i + '">' + i + '</option>';
}
</script>
The innerHTML function lets you set the HTML content between an element's opening tag (in this case <select id="selectedYear" name="year"> and closing tag (</select>).
Knowing this, it's pretty easy to select the option you want using JavaScript. Remember you can do this by setting the selected attribute of the <option> to "selected". Here's a portion of your setActualDate function, showing how to set the default year for just the selectedYear dropdown:
<script type="text/javascript>
function setActualDate() {
var d1 = new Date();
var year = d1.getFullYear();
var dropdown = document.getElementById('selectedYear');
//loop through the dropdown's options
for (var i = 0; i < dropdown.options.length; i++) {
var option = dropdown.options[i];
//check if this is the option we want to set
if (option.value == year) {
option.selected = true;
} else {
//ensure all other options are NOT selected
option.selected = false;
}
//NOTE: you can simplify the above if-else to just:
//option.selected = (option.value == year);
}
}
</script>
That should be enough to get you started. I hope it all makes sense.
Use the following HTML for month -
<!-- HTML for month -->
<select id = "selectedMonth" name="month">
<option value="1">Jan</option>
<option value="2">Feb</option>
<option value="3">Mar</option>
<option value="4">Apr</option>
<option value="5">May</option>
<option value="6">Jun</option>
<option value="7">Jul</option>
<option value="8">Aug</option>
<option value="9">Sep</option>
<option value="10">Oct</option>
<option value="11">Nov</option>
<option value="12">Dec</option>
</select>
<!-- HTML for year -->
<select id="selectedYear" name="year">
<option value="2010">2010</option>
<option value="2011">2011</option>
<option value="2012">2012</option>
<option value="2013">2013</option>
</select>
and script
//script for setting month
var monthEl = document.getElementById('selectedMonth');
monthEl.options[m2].selected = "selected"
//for year
var yearEl = document.getElementById('selectedYear');
yearEl.options[y].selected = "selected"
You are getting the elements by their ID so the first time the script runs only fills out the first elements it finds (probably the ones in the first form).
Since you have several elements to fill out automatically, you should be setting classes to on them and use these classes to select the ones you are interested in. For example:
<form id="form1">
<input class="entryDate" type="text"> <!-- note the class=..." -->
</form>
<form id="form2">
<input class="entryDate" type="text">
<select name="mode" class="selectedMonth"> <!-- note the class=..." -->
<option selected="selected" value=""></option>
<option value="1">the money withdraw</option>
<option value="2">the money income</option>
</select>
</form>
Now your code should be something like this:
window.onload = function setActualDate() {
var d1 = new Date();
var y = d1.getFullYear();
var d = d1.getDate();
var m1 = d1.getMonth() + 1;
var m2 = d1.getMonth();
var entryDates = document.getElementsByClassName('entryDate');
var years = document.getElementsByClassName('selectedYear');
var months = document.getElementsByClassName('selectedMonth');
var i, j;
for (i in entryDates)
entryDates[i].value = (y + "-" + m1 + "-" + d);
for (i in months) {
for (j in months[i].options)
if (months[i].options[j].value == m1) {
months[i].options[j].selected = true;
break;
}
}
//similarly for years...
};
