I don't know much about javascript and unfortunately don't have time to learn before this project is due (wish I did!). I assume it is possible to pass the value of a drop-down selection into a hidden text input field on a form before the form is submitted. Could anyone help me figure out how to do that with javascript? Thank you! Here are my drop-down and text box details:
<div class="formEntryArea">
<div class="formEntryLabel">
<span class="formLabel"><label for=" langdropdown">Would you like to receive library notices in English or Spanish? ><span class="formRequired">*</span></label></span>
</div>
<div class="formMultiSelect" id=”langdropdown”>
<select name=" langdropdown ">
<option value="0" selected="selected">Choose language</option>
<option value="eng">English</option>
<option value="spa">Spanish</option>
<input type="text" id="ddepartment" name="ddepartment" value=””>
</select>
</div>
This is simply. First of all, you have to bind a change event handler for your select. Then, you have to set input text with value selected from dropdown.
var select=document.getElementsByTagName('select')[0];
var input=document.getElementById('ddepartment');
select.onchange=function(){
input.value=select.options[select.selectedIndex].text;
}
<div class="formEntryArea">
<div class="formEntryLabel">
<span class="formLabel"><label for=" langdropdown">Would you like to receive library notices in English or Spanish? ><span class="formRequired">*</span></label></span>
</div>
<div class="formMultiSelect" id=”langdropdown”>
<select name=" langdropdown ">
<option value="0" selected="selected">Choose language</option>
<option value="eng">English</option>
<option value="spa">Spanish</option>
</select>
<input type="text" id="ddepartment" name="ddepartment">
</div>
You can use this code:
var myselect = document.getElementById("MySelect");
myselect.onchange = function(){
alert(myselect.options[myselect.selectedIndex].value);
document.getElementById("ddepartment").value = myselect.options[myselect.selectedIndex].value;
};
Result: https://jsfiddle.net/fh5myefw/
Mind to close the tags, it's better practice.
var select = document.getElementById('selectElem');
var outputElem = document.getElementById('ddepartment');
select.addEventListener('change',function(){
var newValue = !this.selectedIndex ? "":this.options[this.selectedIndex].text;
outputElem.value = newValue;
});
<select name="langdropdown" id="selectElem" required>
<option value="" selected="selected">Choose language</option>
<option value="eng">English</option>
<option value="spa">Spanish</option>
</select>
<input type="text" id="ddepartment" name="ddepartment" value="">
this is javascript function
function func(selectObject)
{
document.getElementById('ddepartment').value = selectObject.value;
}
add onchange event to select element like this
<select name="langdropdown" onchange="func(this)">
Here use this:
var sel = document.getElementById('lang');
sel.onchange = function() {
var val = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
var che = document.getElementById('cache').value;
che = val;
console.log(che);
}
SNIPPET
var sel = document.getElementById('lang');
sel.onchange = function() {
var val = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
var che = document.getElementById('cache').value;
che = val;
console.log(che);
}
<select id='lang' name="lang">
<option value="" selected>Choose language</option>
<option value="eng">English</option>
<option value="spa">Spanish</option>
<option value="jpn">Japanese</option>
<option value="zho">Chinese</option>
<option value="fin">Finnish</option>
<option value="nav">Navajo</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" id="cache" name="cache" value=””>
<form action="order.php" method="post" name="myForm" id="dropdown" onsubmit="return(validate());">
<input list="From" name="From" autocomplete="off" type="text" placeholder="From Place">
<datalist id="From">
<option value="Stand">
<option value="Hospital">
</datalist>
</form>
Script Validation :
<script>
if (document.myForm.From.value == "") {
alert("Please select From Place.!");
return false;
}
</script>
If null then given me the error message :
Please select From Place.!
User's input is also printing... But i need Option Value to print only ie. "Stand","Hospital"...
I have also deleted type="text" but it didn't change anything.
You need to loop inside your datalist options when submiting :
HTML
<form>
<input list="datalist" id="input">
<datalist id="datalist">
<option value="Internet Explorer">
<option value="Firefox">
<option value="Chrome">
<option value="Opera">
<option value="Safari">
</datalist>
</form>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Check</button>
<p id="result"></p>
JS
function myFunction() {
var options = document.getElementById("datalist").options;
var result = false;
for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
if(document.getElementById("input").value == options[i].value) {
result = true;
}
}
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "Validate : " + result + ".";
}
Then you can use the Boolean for your validation.
You can see the result on this fiddle.
I am very new to HTML and JavaScript...
I need your help to construct a website URL based on TextBox inputs in HTML/JavaScript?
I am looking for a HTML/JavaScript code to allow user to
1) Select an Option from Dropdown list
2) Enter a number
using which a URL should be generated
For example:
Drop down list has #Years to select and user select year 2014
and in text box user gives input a number as 1234
Below is the peace of code I have, but not able to get the desired result :(
<select name="SelectYear">
<option value="13" ID="13">2013</option>
<option value="12" ID="12">2012</option>
</select>
<select name="SelectMonth">
<option value="J" ID="J">June</option>
<option value="D" ID="D">December</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="EnterRollNum" ID="EnterRollNum">
<button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var iYear = $("select#SelectYear").val()
var iMonth = $("select#SelectMonth").val()
var iRollNum = $("select#EnterRollNum").val()
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = Link
}
</script>
Any help is much appreciated.
<form id="myForm" action="some.php" method="GET">
<select name="SelectYear">
<option value="13" ID="13">2013</option>
<option value="12" ID="12">2012</option>
</select>
<select name="SelectMonth">
<option value="J" ID="J">June</option>
<option value="D" ID="D">December</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="EnterRollNum" ID="EnterRollNum" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
$('#myForm').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr('action')+'?'+$('#myForm').serialize();
$('#demo').html(' Link ');
});
</script>

Working Fiddle
I am a novice at JavaScript and jQuery. I want to show one combobox-A, which is an HTML <select> with its selected id and contents at the other place on onChange().
How can I pass the complete combobox with its select id, and how can I pass other parameters on fire of the onChange event?
function getComboA(selectObject) {
var value = selectObject.value;
console.log(value);
}
<select id="comboA" onchange="getComboA(this)">
<option value="">Select combo</option>
<option value="Value1">Text1</option>
<option value="Value2">Text2</option>
<option value="Value3">Text3</option>
</select>
The above example gets you the selected value of combo box on OnChange event.
Another approach wich can be handy in some situations, is passing the value of the selected <option /> directly to the function like this:
function myFunction(chosen) {
console.log(chosen);
}
<select onChange="myFunction(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="1">Text 1</option>
<option value="2">Text 2</option>
</select>
For how to do it in jQuery:
<select id="yourid">
<option value="Value 1">Text 1</option>
<option value="Value 2">Text 2</option>
</select>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$('#yourid').change(function() {
alert('The option with value ' + $(this).val() + ' and text ' + $(this).text() + ' was selected.');
});
</script>
You should also know that Javascript and jQuery are not identical. jQuery is valid JavaScript code, but not all JavaScript is jQuery. You should look up the differences and make sure you are using the appropriate one.
JavaScript Solution
<select id="comboA">
<option value="">Select combo</option>
<option value="Value1">Text1</option>
<option value="Value2">Text2</option>
<option value="Value3">Text3</option>
</select>
<script>
document.getElementById("comboA").onchange = function(){
var value = document.getElementById("comboA").value;
};
</script>
or
<script>
document.getElementById("comboA").onchange = function(evt){
var value = evt.target.value;
};
</script>
or
<script>
document.getElementById("comboA").onchange = handleChange;
function handleChange(evt){
var value = evt.target.value;
};
</script>
I found #Piyush's answer helpful, and just to add to it, if you programatically create a select, then there is an important way to get this behavior that may not be obvious. Let's say you have a function and you create a new select:
var changeitem = function (sel) {
console.log(sel.selectedIndex);
}
var newSelect = document.createElement('select');
newSelect.id = 'newselect';
The normal behavior may be to say
newSelect.onchange = changeitem;
But this does not really allow you to specify that argument passed in, so instead you may do this:
newSelect.setAttribute('onchange', 'changeitem(this)');
And you are able to set the parameter. If you do it the first way, then the argument you'll get to your onchange function will be browser dependent. The second way seems to work cross-browser just fine.
jQuery solution
How do I get the text value of a selected option
Select elements typically have two values that you want to access.
First there's the value to be sent to the server, which is easy:
$( "#myselect" ).val();
// => 1
The second is the text value of the select.
For example, using the following select box:
<select id="myselect">
<option value="1">Mr</option>
<option value="2">Mrs</option>
<option value="3">Ms</option>
<option value="4">Dr</option>
<option value="5">Prof</option>
</select>
If you wanted to get the string "Mr" if the first option was selected (instead of just "1") you would do that in the following way:
$( "#myselect option:selected" ).text();
// => "Mr"

.val() jQuery API Documentation
This is helped for me.
For select:
$('select_tags').on('change', function() {
alert( $(this).find(":selected").val() );
});
For radio/checkbox:
$('radio_tags').on('change', function() {
alert( $(this).find(":checked").val() );
});
You can try bellow code
<select onchange="myfunction($(this).val())" id="myId">
</select>
Html template:
<select class="staff-select">
<option value="">All</option>
<option value="196">Ivan</option>
<option value="195">Jon</option>
</select>
Js code:
const $staffSelect = document.querySelector('.staff-select')
$staffSelect.onchange = function () {
console.log(this.value)
}
Just in case someone is looking for a React solution without having to download addition dependancies you could write:
<select onChange={this.changed(this)}>
<option value="Apple">Apple</option>
<option value="Android">Android</option>
</select>
changed(){
return e => {
console.log(e.target.value)
}
}
Make sure to bind the changed() function in the constructor like:
this.changed = this.changed.bind(this);
this code once i write for just explain onChange event of select you can save this code as html and see output it works.and easy to understand for you.

This worked for me onchange = setLocation($(this).val())
Here.
#Html.DropDownList("Demo",
new SelectList(ViewBag.locs, "Value", "Text"),
new { Class = "ddlStyle", onchange = "setLocation($(this).val())" });
Simply:
function retrieve(){
alert(document.getElementById('SMS_recipient').options[document.getElementById('SMS_recipient').selectedIndex].text);
}
function retrieve_other() {
alert(myForm.SMS_recipient.options[document.getElementById('SMS_recipient').selectedIndex].text);
}
function retrieve() { alert(document.getElementById('SMS_recipient').options[document.getElementById('SMS_recipient').selectedIndex].text);
}
<HTML>
<BODY>
<p>RETRIEVING TEXT IN OPTION OF SELECT </p>
<form name="myForm" action="">
<P>Select:
<select id="SMS_recipient">
<options value='+15121234567'>Andrew</option>
<options value='+15121234568'>Klaus</option>
</select>
</p>
<p>
<!-- Note: Despite the script engine complaining about it the code works!-->
<input type="button" onclick="retrieve()" value="Try it" />
<input type="button" onclick="retrieve_other()" value="Try Form" />
</p>
</form>
</HTML>
</BODY>
Output:
Klaus or Andrew depending on what the selectedIndex is. If you are after the value just replace .text with value. However if it is just the value you are after (not the text in the option) then use document.getElementById('SMS_recipient').value
//html code
