How to add DIV's dynamically in a form based on a select input with Jquery

var beneficiarioDiv = $('<div class="beneficiario-wrap"><label for="nombre_bene">Nombre y Apellido</label><input type="text" name="nombre_bene" value=""><label for="nombre_bene">Cedula beneficiario</label><div><select name="cedulabene_tipo"><option value="Venezolano" selected>V </option><option value="Extranjero">E </option></select> <input type="text" name="cedulabene_no" value="" maxlength="8"></div><label for="edad_bene">Edad beneficiario</label><input type="text" name="edad_bene" value=""></div>');
$('#beneficiarios').change(function() {
var beneficiarios = $('#beneficiarios :selected').val();
// this gives me the value that the user selected
<div class="beneficiarios-wrapper"></div>
// this is the div where I want to append the number of divs selected by the user
});
<label for="beneficiarios">Cantidad de beneficiarios</label>
<select name="beneficiarios" id="beneficiarios">
<option value="0">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
</select>
I have been hitting my head cuz I can't think on a way to get this to work ( I'm new with Jquery )
So.. I have a select input field in a form with number options.. I want to check which of the options the user selected and add a DIV the number of times the user selected ( from 0 to 10 ) and if the user selects a number lower than the one he previously chose delete the DIVs previously added and add the ones he now chose (if he selects number 3 add 3 DIVs, if he now selects 2 because he was just mistaken then just show 2 instead of the 3)
I know how to get the number the user selected with the .change event listener and the :selected.val() method.. my problem is appending the divs that number of times the user selected, and deleting them if the user selects a number lower than.
Please i don't know how to make this work!

In your change function, first clear the wrapper and then append the divs in a loop
var beneficiarioDiv = '<div class="beneficiario-wrap"><label for="nombre_bene">Nombre y Apellido</label><input type="text" name="nombre_bene" value=""><label for="nombre_bene">Cedula beneficiario</label><div><select name="cedulabene_tipo"><option value="Venezolano" selected>V </option><option value="Extranjero">E </option></select> <input type="text" name="cedulabene_no" value="" maxlength="8"></div><label for="edad_bene">Edad beneficiario</label><input type="text" name="edad_bene" value=""></div>';
$('#beneficiarios').change(function() {
var beneficiarios = $('#beneficiarios :selected').val();
// this gives me the value that the user selected
$('.beneficiarios-wrapper').empty();
while (beneficiarios--) {
$('.beneficiarios-wrapper').append(beneficiarioDiv);
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<label for="beneficiarios">Cantidad de beneficiarios</label>
<select name="beneficiarios" id="beneficiarios">
<option value="0">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
</select>
<div class="beneficiarios-wrapper"></div>

You can clear the div on change event. Then use a for loop to append div
const divToAppend = '<div>test</div>';
let number = $('#beneficiarios').val();
$('#beneficiarios').on('change', function () {
$('#placeholder').html('');
number = $(this).val();
for (let i = 0; i < number; i++) {
$('#placeholder').append(divToAppend);
}
});
<label for="beneficiarios">Cantidad de beneficiarios</label>
<select name="beneficiarios" id="beneficiarios">
<option value="0">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
</select>
<div id="placeholder"></div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

You could just append the divs in a loop:
var b = = $('#beneficiarios :selected').val();
while(b--) {
$(".beneficiarios-wrapper").append("<div>"+b+"</div>")
}

check required field in Javascript on different button

i am not too good with java Script but trying to learn few things in different ways and this community always help me to learn such stuff.
i need some help from you guys again. below is my code and what i want is.
i have different dropdowns on a single page, with different buttons to run different queries in php. but i want to make sure that drop should have some selected value before proceeding to php query on button click. i am not able to perform this task, below is the sample which is definitely wrong. i want on button click "fun" Myfunction should run which should check that proper value is selected from drop down s1 and here s2 value is not required. and same is with 2nd button vice verse. kindly help and any idea would be appreciated.
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("s1").value = "required"
}
function myFunction1() {
document.getElementById("s2").value = "required"
}
dd1:
<select id="s1">
<option>Select one</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
<br>
<br>dd2:
<select id="s2">
<option>Select one</option>
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
</select>
<br>
<br>
<button onclick="myFunction()">fun</button>
<button onclick="myFunction1()">fun1</button>

You have to check value of document.getElementById("s1").selectedIndex and ...(s2) as following:
function myFunction() {
var s1 = document.getElementById("s1").selectedIndex;
var s2 = document.getElementById("s2").selectedIndex;
if (s1<1 && s2<1) {
alert("Please select atleast one item from dropdowns!");
return false;
};
}
<html>
<body>
dd1:<select id="s1">
<option >Select one</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
<br> <br>
dd2:<select id="s2">
<option >Select one</option>
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
</select>
<br><br>
<button onclick="myFunction()">fun</button>
<button onclick="myFunction()">fun1</button>
</body>
</html>

Using jQuery will do the trick. You just need to check the value of your select component. To achieve this, you should first add a value for when nothing is selected:
dd1:<select id="s1">
<option value="0">Select one</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
<br> <br>
dd2:<select id="s2">
<option value="0">Select one</option>
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
</select>
<br><br>
Now, when nothing is selected, the value of your component will be 0. To check this values, you have to do something like this:
function myFunction() {
var selectedValue1 = $('#s1').val();
var selectedValue2 = $('#s2').val();
// check both values and do whatever
}
function myFunction1() {
var selectedValue1 = $('#s1').val();
var selectedValue2 = $('#s2').val();
// check both values and do whatever
}
Using vanilla
If you don't want to use jQuery for whatever the reason, you just have to change var selectedValue1 = $('#s1').val(); for var selectedValue1 = document.getElementById('s1').value;.
I hope this helps :)

How to select the given option in dropdown

I've a dropdown
<select id="ddl1">
<option value="0">number</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
</select>
now what i'm doing is as soon as user clicks on ddl1 i change its default value to 4 like this
$(function () {
var defaultValue = "4";
$('#ddl1').click(function () {
var select_val = $('#ddl1').val();
if (select_val == "0")
$('#ddl1').val(defaultValue);
});
});
but now the problem is when user tries to select the default option of dropdown i.e number, option 4 is selected. Any ideas how to fix this?
The problem is when the user just clicks on dropdown -> option4 must be selected and when user clicks on option number -> option number must be selected instead of option 4.

Not sure why you're doing that but focusin or focus events can help you achieve that as follows:
$(function() {
$('#ddl1').on('focusin', function() {
this.value != 0 || $(this).val( 4 );
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="ddl1">
<option value="0">number</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
</select>

You should call this function on change, not click - else, like you said, as soon as you click an option is selected.
$('#ddl1').change(function () {
DEMO
Edit: You should use a class to give the feel of the default option, you don't actually want it set to selected EACH time the user clicks:
<select id="ddl1">
<option value="0">number</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4" class="default">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
</select>
.default {
color: blue;
}

is this what you're looking for? http://jsfiddle.net/swm53ran/84/
$(function () {
var defaultValue = "4";
var count = 0;
$('#ddl1').click(function () {
if (count < 1) {
$('#ddl1').val(defaultValue);
count++;
}
});
});

JavaScript onchange event doesn't change div content

I want to replace the content of my <div id="score_here">10</div>, when I select a value from my drop-down <select id="ansRate" onchange="javascript:add_score(this);">. I have setup my JavaScript function which is shown below, but it doesn't work. What is the problem with this?
<div>
<select id="ansRate" onchange="javascript:add_score(this);">
<option value="0">Answer Rate</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
</select>
</div>
<div id="score_here" style="width:100px;height:100px;background-color:yellow;">
81
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function add_score(a){
var string = $("#questionScore").text();
var thenum = string.replace( /^\D+/g, '');
var add = $(a).val();
var total = parseInt(thenum) + parseInt(add);
document.getElementByID('score_here').innerHTML = total;
}
</script>

document.getElementById("id")
not
document.getElementByID("id")

should be:
document.getElementById('score_here').innerHTML = total;
:-)

Try this:
document.getElementByID is not the correct syntax, instead try document.getElementById
You can done everything by jQuery.
Just replace this line:
document.getElementByID('score_here').innerHTML = total;
to
$('#score_here').html(total);

logic required in javascript

i have a select option which works fine,but what i want is if more than one is selected then 10 % discount has to be added, how can this be done
and on selected the value multiplies in Java script
//javascript
function totprice(f,n,amt)
{
var tot=0;
document.getElementById('lbl_tot'+n).value=amt*f;
for (var k=1; k<=document.getElementById('rowcnt').value; k++)
{
if(document.getElementById('lbl_tot'+k))
{
tot=parseInt(tot) + parseInt(document.getElementById('lbl_tot'+k).value);
}
}
document.getElementById('txttot').value=tot;
document.getElementById('txttotprice').value=tot;
}
HTML
<select name="amt" id="amt" onchange="return totprice(this.value,2,110);">
<option value="0">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="11">11</option>
<option value="12">12</option>
<option value="13">13</option>
<option value="14">14</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="16">16</option>
<option value="17">17</option>
<option value="18">18</option>
</select>

Your select tag should be
<select name="amt" id="amt" onchange="return totprice(this.value,2,110);" multiple>
To make it multi select. Now when user will select multiple options (using Shift+click) then in your JavaScript function get these values and do the processing (provide discount/ any logic)
Updated
You wish to multiply the value the user has selected with the discount amount (110)
In your JS have this
var x = parseInt(f)*parseInt(amt);
If f = 2 and amt = 110 then x = 220. You need to do parseInt(value, radix) by default radix is 10
EXAMPLE:
var optionSelected = document.getElementById('amt').value; //optionSelected is nothing but this.value
if(optionSelected > 1)
{
//Offer discount
var x = parseInt(f)*parseInt(amt); //where f and amt is passed through function call
}
else
{
// Do nothing/ other logic
}
Hope this helps!!
