How to refresh a select list in html

I have a drop-down list where depending on the selected value, the next drop-down list shows specific values. when changing the value of the first list and then going back to the old value, the second list does not update. keeps the same value selected before. How can I make the second list update to the value I marked as selected by default whenever I change the value of the first list?
I hope you guys were able to understand me, and I thank you for your time.
Here's the code:
<select onchange="showprd('hidevalue', this), showprd2('hidevalue2', this)">
<option value="" disabled selected hidden>Selecione</option>
<option value="0">São Francisco</option>
<option value="1">Bradesco</option>
</select>
<br>
<br>
<select hidden id="hidevalue">
<option value="" disabled selected hidden>Selecione o produto</option>
<option value="pleno">Pleno</option>
<option value="integrado">Integrado</option>
</select>
<select hidden id="hidevalue2">
<option value="" disabled selected hidden>Selecione o produto</option>
<option value="junior">Junior</option>
<option value="senior">Senior</option>
</select>
</body>
<script>
function showprd(id, elementValue) {
document.getElementById(id).style.display = elementValue.value == 0 ? 'block' : 'none';
}
function showprd2(id, elementValue) {
document.getElementById(id).style.display = elementValue.value == 1 ? 'block' : 'none';
}
</script>

TL;DR. Control the input value changes in one place.
Please see the updated snippet below. html structure hasn't been changed, but I've removed the inline js call and updated the id names. JavaScript blocks are commented in details.
In a nut-shell, this code listens for any change to the parent select dropdown. Whenever a change occurs, its child dropdowns will reset their values and toggle their visibility accordingly.
// Assign each dom element to a variable
const primarySelect = document.querySelector('#primary');
const childSelect1 = document.querySelector('#child1');
const childSelect2 = document.querySelector('#child2');
const defaultValues = document.querySelectorAll('.default');
function resetInputs() {
// Reset the child select options to default
defaultValues.forEach(option => option.selected = true);
}
function handlePrimary(e) {
// Reset the child select values whenever the parent value changes
resetInputs();
// `input` value is always a string. Here we're converting it to a number
const val = parseFloat(e.target.value);
// Toggle visibility of child select dropdowns
[childSelect1, childSelect2].
forEach((select, i) => select.style.display = val === i ? 'block' : 'none');
}
primarySelect.addEventListener('change', handlePrimary);
<select id="primary">
<option value="" disabled selected hidden>Selecione</option>
<option value="0">São Francisco</option>
<option value="1">Bradesco</option>
</select>
<br>
<br>
<select hidden id="child1">
<option class="default" value="" disabled selected hidden>Selecione o produto</option>
<option value="pleno">Pleno</option>
<option value="integrado">Integrado</option>
</select>
<select hidden id="child2">
<option class="default" value="" disabled selected hidden>Selecione o produto</option>
<option value="junior">Junior</option>
<option value="senior">Senior</option>
</select>

If I understood correctly, the expected behavior is when the second or third <select> is hidden, the <select> should go back to default (the first <option>?). If so, then remove disabled and hidden from the first <option> of the second and third <select> then add the following:
selectObj.hidden = true;
selectObj.selectedIndex = 0;
The example below has a <form> wrapped around everything (always use a form if you have more than one form control. By using HTMLFormElement interface I rewrote the code and can reference all form controls with very little code. Inline event handlers are garbage so don't do this:
<select id='sel' onchange="lame(this)">
Instead do this:
selObj.onchange = good;
OR
selObj.addEventListener('change', better)
Read about events and event delegation
const UI = document.forms.UI;
UI.onchange = showSelect;
function showSelect(e) {
const sel = e.target;
const IO = this.elements;
if (sel.id === "A") {
if (sel.value === '0') {
IO.B.hidden = false;
IO.C.hidden = true;
IO.C.selectedIndex = 0;
} else {
IO.B.hidden = true;
IO.B.selectedIndex = 0;
IO.C.hidden = false;
}
}
}
<form id='UI'>
<select id='A'>
<option disabled selected hidden>Pick</option>
<option value="0">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
</select>
<br>
<br>
<select id="B" hidden>
<option selected>Pick B</option>
<option value="0">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
</select>
<select id="C" hidden>
<option selected>Pick C</option>
<option value="0">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
</select>
</form>

I give you an example for your reference:
let secondList = [
[{
value: "pleno",
text: "Pleno"
},
{
value: "integrado",
text: "Integrado"
}
],
[
{
value: "junior",
text: "Junior"
},
{
value: "senior",
text: "Senior"
}
]
]
function update(v){
let secondSelectBox=document.getElementById("second");
secondSelectBox.style.display="none";
let optionList=secondList[v.value];
if (optionList){
let defaultOption=new Option("Selecione o produto","");
secondSelectBox.innerHTML="";
secondSelectBox.options.add(defaultOption);
optionList.forEach(o=>{
let vv=new Option(o.text,o.value);
secondSelectBox.options.add(vv);
})
secondSelectBox.style.display="block";
}
}
<select onchange="update(this)">
<option value="" disabled selected hidden>Selecione</option>
<option value="0">São Francisco</option>
<option value="1">Bradesco</option>
</select>
<select hidden id="second">
</select>

Change text within Label to option from selection menu

This my custom select menu:
<select name="bankSelect" id="bankSelect" onchange="dispchange(this.form.bankSelect)">
<option>EQUIFAX</option>
<option value = 5 >EQUIFAX</option>
<option value = 6>TRANSUNION</option>
<option value = 7>EXPERIAN</option>
<option value = 8>BANK OF AMERICA</option>
<option value = 9>WELLS FARGO</option>
<option value = 10>CITIBANK</option>
<option value = 11>JPMORGAN</option>
<option value = 12>NAVIENT</option>
<option value = 13>CAPITAL ONE</option>
<option value = 14>U.S BANCORP</option>
</select>
This is my label:
<div class="info">
<label>Bank: </label>
<label id="bank">EQUIFAX</label><br>
</div>
I need to change the text within label with the ID='bank to the option i select from the menu i above.
So if i pick the option with value 9, then my label should change the text it's displaying by defualt,'EQUIFAX' to then display 'WELLS FARGO'.
This is what I've tried in my java-script based on googling similar questions:
function dispchange(bankSelect) {
var bsel_index = bankSelect.selectedIndex;
var bselin = bankSelect.options[bsel_index].value;
if(bselin == '6')
document.getElementById("bank").innerHTML = 'Transunion';
else if(opcao == '1')
document.getElementById('complemento').innerHTML = 'Titulo';
}
It does nothing. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way / another way to change the label? Can I use something other than a label to display my choice from the selection menu? If so, how do I ensure is always displays the choice currently selected?

use option.text instead of option.value:
function dispchange() {
var el = document.getElementById('bankSelect');
document.getElementById('bank').innerHTML = el.options[el.selectedIndex].text;
}
<select name="bankSelect" id="bankSelect" onchange="dispchange()">
<option>EQUIFAX</option>
<option value="5">EQUIFAX</option>
<option value="6">TRANSUNION</option>
<option value="7">EXPERIAN</option>
<option value="8">BANK OF AMERICA</option>
<option value="9">WELLS FARGO</option>
<option value="10">CITIBANK</option>
<option value="11">JPMORGAN</option>
<option value="12">NAVIENT</option>
<option value="13">CAPITAL ONE</option>
<option value="14">U.S BANCORP</option>
</select>
<div class="info">
<label>Bank: </label>
<label id="bank">EQUIFAX</label><br>
</div>

function dispchange(bankSelect) {
console.log(document.getElementById("bankSelect").value)
document.getElementById('bank').innerHTML = document.getElementById("bankSelect").value;
}
<select name="bankSelect" id="bankSelect" onchange="dispchange()">
<option value="EQUIFAX">EQUIFAX</option>
<option value="TRANSUNION">TRANSUNION</option>
<option value ="EXPERIAN">EXPERIAN</option>
<option value= "BANK OF AMERICA">BANK OF AMERICA</option>
<option value ="WELLS FARGO">WELLS FARGO</option>
</select>
<div class="info">
<label>Bank: </label>
<label id="bank">EQUIFAX</label><br>
</div>
If you can change the value of the options from number to the Bank name then the following code is going to work as you need.
Otherwise, you have to create an array or object with the numbers and Bank names.
Is the above code work for you?

JavaScript - Dropdown value dependent

I have two dropdown right now. I want to when the user selects "NO" the other automatically selects "YES" and vice versa.
I'm assuming I use JS here to make this occur, but not sure where to start. Below is my dropdown html code. If someone could help me get started, it would be helpful.
Code:
<div class="cmicrophone" id="cmicrophone">Currently:
<select id="cmicrophone" name="cmicrophone">
<option value=" " selected = "selected"> </option>
<option value="on">ON</option>
<option value="off">OFF</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="microphone" id="microphone">Microphone:
<select id="microphone" name = "microphone">
<option value=" " selected="selected"> </option>
<option value="on" >ON</option>
<option value="off">OFF</option>
</select>
</div

You can assign a same class to each select element and bind change event listener.
$('.elem').on('change', function() {
if ($(this).val() == 'on') {
$('.elem').not(this).val('off');
} else {
$('.elem').not(this).val('on');
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="cmicrophone" id="cmicrophone">Currently:
<select id="cmicrophone" class='elem' name="cmicrophone">
<option value="" selected = "selected"></option>
<option value="on">ON</option>
<option value="off">OFF</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="microphone" id="microphone">Microphone:
<select id="microphone" class='elem' name="microphone">
<option value="" selected = "selected"></option>
<option value="on">ON</option>
<option value="off">OFF</option>
</select>
</div>

A good starting point might be listening for changes on one select, and when the change happens, selecting the other <select> and setting the right value

Here's a vanilla JS solution (no jquery required).
The idea here is to:
select both <select> elements and save them into variables to refer to later using document.querySelector
add input event listeners on both elements that call a function to handle the event
then use inside the function selectElement.selectedIndex to check the selected index of one element and use that to set the value of the other.
// select the `<select>` elements
const cmicrophone = document.querySelector('#cmicrophone');
const microphone = document.querySelector('#microphone');
// define function to handler the events
function inputHandler(thisSelect, otherSelect) {
if (thisSelect.selectedIndex == 1) {
otherSelect.selectedIndex = 2;
} else if (thisSelect.selectedIndex == 2) {
otherSelect.selectedIndex = 1;
} else {
thisSelect.selectedIndex = 0;
otherSelect.selectedIndex = 0;
}
}
// add event listeners that will 'fire' when the input of the <select> changes
cmicrophone.addEventListener('input', event => {
inputHandler(cmicrophone, microphone);
});
microphone.addEventListener('input', event => {
inputHandler(microphone, cmicrophone);
});
<div>Currently:
<select id="cmicrophone" name="cmicrophone">
<option value=" " selected = "selected"> </option>
<option value="on">ON</option>
<option value="off">OFF</option>
</select>
</div>
<div>Microphone:
<select id="microphone" name="microphone">
<option value=" " selected="selected"> </option>
<option value="on" >ON</option>
<option value="off">OFF</option>
</select>
</div>
One more thing to add: You assigned the same value to multiple ids. You should only assign one unique id per element.

Dropdown validation, focus method doesn't work

I want someone to select an option, but not the first option -- Select --.
HTML
<select name = "sources" id = "brandname" required onblur = "selectText()" />
<option value = "select"> -- Select -- </option>
<option value = "referal"> Referal </option>
<option value = "justdial"> Justdial </option>
<option value = "sulekha"> Sulekha </option>
<option value = "website"> Website </option>
<option value = "others"> Others </option>
</select>
JS
if (document.getElementById("brandname").value == "select") {
alert("Please select the required value");
document.getElementById("brandname")[1].focus();
}
It executes the alert message, after that it moved to the next field. But it supposed to be sticked with that dropdown until and unless the select value changed to any other value.
What is wrong with the code?
Thanks in advance!

HTML
<select id="mySelect">
<option>v1</option>
<option>v2</option>
...
</select>
JavaScript
var s = document.getElementById("mySelect");
Check the selected value with
s.options[s.selectedIndex].value // Keep this in mind
If statement:
if(s.options[s.selectedIndex].value == "select") {
alert("A value is required!");
s.focus();
}
(Your focus without [1]:
document.getElementById("brandname").focus();
)
Demo

Just remove the [1] from the focus statement.As getElementById always returns single object.
var selectText =function(){
if(document.getElementById("brandname").value == "select") {
alert("Please select the required value");
document.getElementById("brandname").focus();
}}
<select name = "sources" id = "brandname" required onblur = "selectText()" />
<option value = "select"> -- Select -- </option>
<option value = "referal"> Referal </option>
<option value = "justdial"> Justdial </option>
<option value = "sulekha"> Sulekha </option>
<option value = "website"> Website </option>
<option value = "others"> Others </option>
</select>

onchange not working for drop down menu?

I'm trying to make it so that when a selection is made from my dropdown menu, text will display accordingly inside my textarea, for now I've been trying to just get one of them to work.
PROBLEM: It won't display the string from the array inside the textarea. Is the problem within this code?
The drop down menu:
<select id="dropdown" onchange="getFrames();">
<option value="1" selected="selected"> Blank </option>
<option value="2"> Exercise </option>
<option value="3"> Juggler </option>
<option value="4"> Bike </option>
<option value="5"> Dive </option>
</select>
The textarea :
<textarea id="textstage" rows="80" cols="20"> </textarea>
JavaScript :
I have these global variables.
var theStage = document.getElementById("textstage");
var getDrop = document.getElementById("dropdown");
and then I have this function.
function getFrames(){
var dropSel = getDrop.options[getDrop.selectedIndex].value;
if(dropSel === 2){
theStage.value = ANIMATIONS["Exercise"];
}
The array being referenced is a global array from another js file.

Try:
var theStage,getDrop;
function getFrames() {
var dropSel = getDrop.options[getDrop.selectedIndex].innerHTML;//+getDrop.value;
theStage.value = ANIMATIONS[dropSel];
}
//Place the selection part on load callback
window.onload = function () {
theStage = document.getElementById("textstage");
getDrop = document.getElementById("dropdown");
}
Demo
You can just use getDrop.value instead of doing getDrop.options[getDrop.selectedIndex].value.
=== is strict equality comparison meaning "2" === 2 will be false as in your case.
Seems like you are looking for the option text to look up the value based on this as key in your object Animation. So you can just do getDrop.options[getDrop.selectedIndex].innerHTML
Your document selection code should be inside window.onload or after the element in the html

I made a minor change to your html by omitting the inline event handler, and instead added it to the javascript.
html:
<select id="dropdown">
<option value="1" selected="selected"> Blank </option>
<option value="2"> Exercise </option>
<option value="3"> Juggler </option>
<option value="4"> Bike </option>
<option value="5"> Dive </option>
</select>
<textarea id="textstage" rows="80" cols="20"> </textarea>
Also, in the javascript, I took away the strict equality (===) and made it just (==).
javascript:
var theStage = document.getElementById("textstage");
var getDrop = document.getElementById("dropdown");
getDrop.addEventListener("change",getFrames);
function getFrames(){
var dropSel = getDrop.options[getDrop.selectedIndex].value;
if(dropSel == 2){
theStage.value = ANIMATIONS["Exercise"];
}
}
Hopefully it should work now for you.
