I have 3 dropdowns which contains more than 4 questions as options in each dropdowns. What I want to achieve is when a user selects one option from any dropdown, that particular option/question has to be hidden from other 2 dropdowns and when he changes his selection that option/question has to be shown again in the other 2 dropdowns. He can select questions from any dropdowns. Here is what I have tried till now. This particular piece of code will hide the options on select but I am not getting how exactly I can show it up back.
Javascript
var removeSelection = function (select) {
$('select').filter(':not(#' + select.attr('id') + ')').each(function () {
var index = select.find(':selected').index();
$(this).find('option:eq(' + index + ')').hide();
});
};
$(function () {
$('select').change(function () {
removeSelection($(this));
});
});

Scenario 1 - Select one option from any dropdown.It should be disabled from other dropdowns.
Scenario 2 - Change option from same dropdown. Previous option should be enabled in other dropdowns.
Once you change the duplicate id's to common classes, You can try something like this
$('select').change(function () {
$("option:disabled").prop("disabled",false); // reset the previously disabled options
var $selectedQ = $(this).find("option:selected"); // selected option
var commonClass= $selectedQ.attr("class"); // common class shared by the matching options
$("."+commonClass).not($selectedQ).prop("disabled","disabled"); // disable the matching options other than the selected one
});
Updated Fiddle
(This won't work if there are more than one, different classes for the options, i'd use a common value or data attribute instead like)
$('select').change(function () {
$("option:disabled").prop("disabled", false);
var $selectedQ = $(this).find("option:selected")
var value = $selectedQ.val();
$("option[value='" + value + "']").not($selectedQ).prop("disabled", "disabled");
});
Demo
Update (as per comments)
$('select').change(function () {
var prevMatches = $(this).data("prevMatches");
if (prevMatches) prevMatches.prop("disabled", false)
var $selectedQ = $(this).find("option:selected")
var value = $selectedQ.val();
var $matches = $("option[value='" + value + "']").not($selectedQ);
$matches.prop("disabled", "disabled");
$(this).data("prevMatches", $matches);
});
Demo
You could do something like this:
var removeSelection = function (select) {
var id=select.attr("id");
$(".hide-"+id).show();
$('select').filter(':not(#' + select.attr('id') + ')').each(function () {
var index = select.find(':selected').index();
$(this).find("option").removeClass("hide-"+id);
$(this).find('option:eq(' + index + ')').each(function(){
if($(this).attr("id")!="selectOpt1"){
$(this).addClass("hide-"+id);
}
});
});
$(".hide-"+id).hide();
};
$(function () {
$('select').change(function () {
removeSelection($(this));
});
});

I have 2 selects. Both have the same options (taken from db). Let's say the options are:
Inventory 1
Inventory 2
Inventory 3
If I choose Inventory 1 in the first select, then in the second select it should disappear. If I choose Inventory 2 in the first select, then Inventory 1 should appear back in the second select and Inventory 2 should disappear.
This is my code so far:
$('#from-location').on('change', function() {
from_location_value = $('#from-location option:selected').val();
to_location_value = $('#to-location option:selected').val();
$("#to-location option[value=" + from_location_value + "]").hide();
});
Try this
$('#from-location').on('change', function() {
let fromValue = $('#from-location').val();
let options = $('#to-location option').show();
if( $(this).val() !== '' ){
options.siblings('option[value="' + fromValue + '"]').hide()
}
});
$('#to-location').on('change', function() {
let toValue = $('#to-location').val();
let options = $('#from-location option').show();
if( $(this).val() !== '' ){
options.siblings('option[value="' + toValue + '"]').hide()
}
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="from-location">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Inventory 1">Inventory 1</option>
<option value="Inventory 2">Inventory 2</option>
<option value="Inventory 3">Inventory 3</option>
</select>
<select id="to-location">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Inventory 1">Inventory 1</option>
<option value="Inventory 2">Inventory 2</option>
<option value="Inventory 3">Inventory 3</option>
</select>
I know you have already accepted an answer, but here's a different approach without duplicating code. There's only one event handler, and the behaviour you describe works for both selects - whichever option you select from whichever select will disappear from the other select.
In fact your question does not specify you want anything to happen for changes to the 2nd select, right? So this is just a demonstration of something maybe useful :-)
$('select').on('change', function() {
// Find the value we just chose
let selected = $(this).val();
// Find the select which was not just changed
let $otherSelect = $('select').not($(this));
// First unselect anything selected from the other select
$otherSelect.val('');
// Re-display everything from the other select
$('option', $otherSelect).show();
// Hide the currently selected option from the other select
$('option[value="' + selected + '"]', $otherSelect).hide();
});

I have a multi select Listbox
<div id="multiselectList">
<select>
<option value="option1">Val 1</option>
<option value="option2">Val 2</option>
<option value="option3">Val 3</option>
<option value="option4">Val 2</option>
<option value="option5">Val 3</option>
</select>
Suppose all the options are selected initially. Now I unselect option2 from multi select list. How can I know which option is currently unselected by the user. I used below code but it was giving me all the unselected values.
var unselectedValue = $("#multiselectList").find('option:not(:selected)');
Can anyone help me in finding the solution?
Thanks in advance
You can use jquery last() for it
https://api.jquery.com/last/
document.querySelector('select').addEventListener('change', () => {
var unselectedValue = $("#multiselectList").find('option:not(:selected)').last();
console.log(unselectedValue.val())
})

</select>
Try Using
$(document).ready(function() {

});

// compare to get recently unselected
const unselected = currentSelected.filter(

);
recentChanges(selected, unselected);
// update last selected
lastSelected = currentSelected;
});
// recentChanges event
function recentChanges(selected, unselected) {
console.log(
(selected.length > 0 ? selected : 'nothing') + ' is selected'

This need to achieve via javascript or jQuery,
So you're likely going to get downvotes. You haven't actually shown that you've tried anything, you have only given us the HTML and asked that we solve your problem.
That said, I like to sink my teeth into easy problems, as this is. What you're wanting to do is, in each select, listen for the change event. When that triggers, get the value of the selected option, and disable any option with that value in any other selects. Take a look at the following:
$(function() {
/********
* Function to disable the currently selected options
* on all sibling select elements.
********/
$(".myselect").on("change", function() {
// Get the list of all selected options in this select element.
var currentSelectEl = $(this);
var selectedOptions = currentSelectEl.find("option:checked");
// otherOptions is used to find non-selected, non-disabled options
// in the current select. This will allow for unselecting. Added
// this to support extended multiple selects.
var otherOptions = currentSelectEl.find("option").not(":checked").not(":disabled");
// Iterate over the otherOptions collection, and using
// each value, re-enable the unselected options that
// match in all other selects.
otherOptions.each(function() {
var myVal = $(this).val();
currentSelectEl.siblings(".myselect")
.children("option[value='" + myVal + "']")
.attr("disabled", false);
})
// iterate through and disable selected options.
selectedOptions.each(function() {
var valToDisable = $(this).val();
currentSelectEl.siblings('.myselect')
.children("option[value='" + valToDisable + "']")
.attr("disabled", true);
})
})
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select name="mySel" class="myselect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="val1">option 1</option>
<option value="val2">option 2</option>
<option value="val3">option 3</option>
<option value="val4">option 4</option>
</select>
<select name="mySel2" class="myselect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="val1">option 1</option>
<option value="val2">option 2</option>
<option value="val3">option 3</option>
<option value="val4">option 4</option>
</select>
<select name="mySel3" class="myselect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="val1">option 1</option>
<option value="val2">option 2</option>
<option value="val3">option 3</option>
<option value="val4">option 4</option>
</select>
<select name="mySel4" class="myselect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="val1">option 1</option>
<option value="val2">option 2</option>
<option value="val3">option 3</option>
<option value="val4">option 4</option>
</select>
Edited the above code to support multiple selects. Actually, it wasn't so much an issue of multiple selects, as I was doing a very lazy handling of unselecting options. Now, when the user is selecting or de-selecting options in any select, only the non-disabled options in that select are used: the (":checked") to disable that option in all other selects, and the .not(":checked") to re-enable any options that the user has somehow unselected.
Try this code , it should do the job:
using Not selector and for each to iterate on other select options:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.myselect:first').change(function() { // once you change the first select box
var s = $('.myselect:first option:selected').val(); // get changed or clicked value
others = $(':not(.myselect:first) >option'); //select other controls with option value
others.each(function() {
if (this.value == s) // for example if you click on 1 the other controls will get 1 disabled
$(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled').siblings().removeAttr('disabled');
// remove disabled from others if you click something else
});
});
});

<select class="myselect" multiple="multiple" name="mySel">

I'm trying to change the id of the select field with a JS function, please take a look at my HTML and JS code.
HTML:
<select name="cat-parent" id="change_id();">
<option selected="selected" value=""></option>
<option value="category-2">Category 2</option>
<option value="category-3">Category 3</option>
<option value="category-4">Category 4</option>
<option value="category-2">Category 2</option>
<option value="category-1">Category 1</option>
</select>
JS:
function change_id(){
var idSuffix = jQuery(this).val();
return 'example' + idSuffix;
}
You need to bind change event handler.
$('[name=cat-parent]').on('change', function() {
$(this).attr("id", 'example' + $(this).val());
});
Edit:I think I have confused you guys with what I need. If I select val1 I need the function to return val1. If I then select val2, with val1 still selected as part of the multi select, I need to return val2. Then I can use the values to set the id and name of rewly created inputs.
I have a select list that has multiple="multiple"
I want to create a text input associated with each selected option and set the id and name of the new input based on the value of each newly selected option, but I always get the value of the first item from the onchange event. Not the first value, but the first selected value. So if I choose val2 first, that is returned, but if I choose val1 first then val2 the id and name will be the same as when val1 is selected.
<select id="multiSelect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="val1">Value 1</option>
<option value="val2">Value 2</option>
<option value="val3">Value 3</option>
</select>
I have used the following function and it returns the first value.
$("#multiSelect").on('change', function(evt, params) {
alert($("option:selected", this).val());
});
This will return the first selected option. If I then choose the second option, I still get the first value. I need to get the value of whichever option has been selected.
Thanks in advance.
The workaround is to save previously selected elements and compare them with newly selected ones:
let selectedOptions = [];
$("#multiSelect").on("change", function() {
const newSelectedOptions = $(this).val() || [];
const addedOptions = newSelectedOptions.filter(option => !selectedOptions.includes(option));
const removedOptions = selectedOptions.filter(option => !newSelectedOptions.includes(option));
selectedOptions = newSelectedOptions;
console.log("addedOptions", addedOptions);
console.log("removedOptions", removedOptions);
});
<select id="multiSelect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="value_1">Value 1</option>
<option value="value_2">Value 2</option>
<option value="value_3">Value 3</option>
</select>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
You get the selected values on change:
$("#multiSelect").on('change', function () {
var selected = $.map($('option:selected', this),
function (e) {
return $(e).val();
});
alert(selected);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="multiSelect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="val1">Value 1</option>
<option value="val2">Value 2</option>
<option value="val3">Value 3</option>
</select>
Try this one : http://jsfiddle.net/csdtesting/jb7ckarp/
$("#multiSelect").on('change', function(evt, params) {
$("#myDiv").append("<span id='mySpan'><input type='text' name='" + $(this).val() + "' value='My name is: " + $(this).val() + "'/>")
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="multiSelect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="val1">Value 1</option>
<option value="val2">Value 2</option>
<option value="val3">Value 3</option>
