I have a test input form where a child select box is created depending on the value of one of the choices in the parent select box. Selecting any of the other choices in the parent select box should remove the child. It works, but only once. If the child select box is created a second time, then it is not removed by selecting one of the other choices.
Here is the code:
<html>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function createtext(){
var var1 = document.getElementById('s');
var var2=var1.value;
if (var2 == "American Express")
{
var selector = document.createElement('select');
selector.id = 'gift';
selector.name = 'gift';
selector.size = '2';
myform.appendChild(selector);
var option = document.createElement('option');
option.value = '0';
option.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Gift card'));
selector.appendChild(option);
option = document.createElement('option');
option.value = '1';
option.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Fully owned card'));
selector.appendChild(option);
}
else
{
myform.removeChild(gift);
}
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY >
<form action="" method="get" name="myform">
<SELECT id = "s" name="s" size=3 onChange="createtext()" ><OPTION>Visa Card<OPTION>Mastercard<OPTION>American Express</SELECT>
</form>
</html>
And here it is in action... http://www.crazyforstamps.com/test-form-6.htm
Try
var gel = document.getElementById('gift');
if(gel){
myform.removeChild(gel);
}
Update:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function createtext() {
var var1 = document.getElementById('s');
var var2 = var1.value;
if (var2 == "American Express") {

selector.name = 'gift';
selector.size = '2';
myform.appendChild(selector);
var option = document.createElement('option');
option.value = '0';
option.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Gift card'));
selector.appendChild(option);
option = document.createElement('option');
option.value = '1';
option.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Fully owned card'));
selector.appendChild(option);
} else {
<!--myform.removeChild(gift);

Assuming you have defined gift somewhere which I don't see it in the question.
Removing all child elements
var gift = document.getElementById("gift");
while (gift.firstChild) {
gift.removeChild(gift.firstChild);
}
Or another alternative is to simply assign innerHTML to an empty string
var gift = document.getElementById("gift");
gift.innerHTML = '';
First of all you have to keep in mind, that each browser has it's own js compiler. Some can use properties without getting browsers dom element via JS, by just referencing their name. But in order to write all browsers supported code, you have to keep in mind JS specifications.
In your current example on JSFiddle you have to always get your elements before you try to perform any actions on them.
var myform = document.getElementById('myform');
var gift = document.getElementById('gift');

I do not even know how to begin that is why I am not adding code. But I need to create a dropdown name with names the user has entered before, and I know how to make a dropdown list but I do not know how to make the names the user enteres as elements in the dropdown. Thank You
if you store the names in an array you could try something like
let dropdown = document.querySelector('select')
let names = ['john', 'alex', 'alissa', 'sam']
names.forEach(name => {
let option = document.createElement('option')
option.value = name
option.innerText = name
dropdown.append(option)
})
<select></select>
Create a text input a button and select. On click of the button trigger a function which will take the value from the input.Create an array which will store all the text input. If the array already contains the value entered through text input , then dont add it again.Else call the function to take text input and remove white space. Then call another function which will loo through this array and during each iteration it will create a option using document.createElement and will append itself to the select.
let optionArray = [];
function addToOption() {
const inputValue = document.getElementById("userName").value.trim();
if (optionArray.indexOf(inputValue) === -1) {
optionArray.push(inputValue)
}
addToSelect();
}
function addToSelect() {
if (optionArray.length === 0) {
return;
}
const selectBox = document.getElementById('selectOption');
selectBox.innerHTML = '';
optionArray.forEach((item) => {
const elem = document.createElement('option');
const optionText = document.createTextNode(item);
elem.appendChild(optionText);
elem.id = optionText;
selectBox.appendChild(elem)
})
}
<input type="text" id="userName">
<button type="button" onClick="addToOption()">Add</button>
<select id="selectOption"></select>

I have to create a few "select" elements in a html file dynamically.
And I also intend to create the same amount "select" elements according to the value of
the former created "select" elements.
Thus I will have a set of "select" elements pair.
When the first "select" element's selected value is changed,
the second "select" elements will refresh its options using the according records in a database.
My problem is I can't receive the correct value of the first "select" element.
Everytime when the onchange event is called, the value passed on to onchange function( in my case, it's called "fillSource()" is the value before the change happened instead of the changed selected value.
Do anyone know how to solve this problem?
The following is my javascript code:
<script>
var selectCount = 1;
var cats = #{dropCatsJson};
var subcats = #{dropSourceJson};
function addNewSource() {
var inputchange = document.createElement('select');
inputchange.options[0] = new Option("pls Select", "0");
inputchange.id="schange";
var input1 = document.createElement('select');
for( var i=0;i< cats.length;i++ ) {
var s = cats[i];
input1.options.add( new Option(s.Name, s.Id) );
}
input1.id = 's' + selectCount;
//input1.onchange = new Function("alert(\"input1 changed\")");
input1.onchange = new Function("fillSource(" + input1.value + ")");
document.getElementById('newSource').appendChild(input1);
document.getElementById('newSource').appendChild(inputchange);
selectCount = selectCount + 1;
}
function fillSource(input1)
{
var dropsub = document.getElementById("schange");
dropsub.options.length = 0;//clear all the options.
for( var i=0;i< subcats.length;i++ ) {
var s = subcats[i];
if( s.ParentId == input1.value )
{
dropsub.options.add( new Option(s.Name, s.Id) );
}
}
}
</script>
===============================================================================
final code that works.
Please notice that you should add onchange event for newly created
select elements like this:
input1.onchange = function(){fillsource(input1.value)};
here is my test.html code:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
var selectCount = 1;
function addNewSearch()
{
//alert("add");
var input1 = document.createElement('select');
input1.options[0] = new Option("s1","1");
input1.options[1] = new Option("s2","2");
input1.name = 's' + selectCount;
input1.id = 's' + selectCount;
input1.onchange = function(){fillsource(input1.value)};
document.body.appendChild(input1);
selectCount = selectCount +1;
//alert(selectCount);
var selcount = document.getElementById('selCount');
selcount.textContent = selectCount;
}
function fillsource(ivalue)
{
alert(ivalue);
}
</script>
<form name= "Search" id= "SearchForm" method= "post">
<select name= "SearchWhat" onchange = "setSearchField()">
<option value = "both"> Both Event and Task </option>
<option value = "event"> Event </option>
<option value = "task" > Task </option>
</select>
<label id="selCount"></label>
<input type="submit" value= "submit" name = "btn_submit"/>
<input type="button" name= "newsearch" value= "New Search" onClick= "addNewSearch()">
</html>
You're capturing the value at the time you create the select element, and hard-coding it into the onchange function. You need to use a closure:
input1.onchange = (function(input1) {fillsource(input1.value)})(input1);
My actual question is quite bit complicated compared to its title. I am very new to Javascript and jQuery so please bear with me.
I would suggest that you run this code first before reading my question so you can understand what I'm trying to do.

Before I start with the question please take note:
#listboxFootballPlayers - The listbox on the left
#selectedFootballPlayers - The listbox on the right
I have 2 questions:
How can I remove the selected item / option from #listboxFootballPlayers after I clicked on -> button.
Why is it that when I click on <- after I selected an item / option from #selectedFootballPlayers it gives me a message Select a football player to be removed from the list. It seems to me that it doesn't assign the value on the variable selectedRemoveFootballPlayerId.
Please ask me if there are something that are not clear with my question. Please help.
Here is the jsfiddle link: http://jsfiddle.net/7vspM/
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#listboxFootballPlayers option').click(function() {
selectedAddFootballPlayerId = $(this).attr('value');
selectedAddFootballPlayerName = $(this).text();
});
$('#selectedFootballPlayers option').live('click', // `live()` event for `option` bcoz, option in this select will
// create after DOM ready
function() {
selectedRemoveFootballPlayerId = $(this).attr('value');
selectedRemoveFootballPlayerName = $(this).text();
});
$('input#btnAddFootballPlayerToList').click(function() {
if (selectedAddFootballPlayerId == '') {
alert("Select a football player to be added from the list.");
} else {
var option = new Option(selectedAddFootballPlayerName, selectedAddFootballPlayerId);
$(option).html(selectedAddFootballPlayerName);
$('#selectedFootballPlayers').append(option);
$('#listboxFootballPlayers option:selected').remove(); // remove selected option
selectedAddFootballPlayerId = '';
selectedAddFootballPlayerName = '';
}
});
$('input#btnRemoveFootballPlayerFromList').click(function() {
if (selectedRemoveFootballPlayerId == '') {
alert("Select a football player to be removed from the list.");
} else {
var option = new Option(selectedRemoveFootballPlayerName, selectedRemoveFootballPlayerId);
$(option).html(selectedRemoveFootballPlayerName);
$('#selectedFootballPlayers option:selected').remove(); // remove selected option
$('#listboxFootballPlayers').append(option);
selectedRemoveFootballPlayerId = '';
selectedRemoveFootballPlayerName = '';
}
});
});
Regarding 2):
The problem is that you assign the click functionality before you create the element to assign it to. When you create your option you should assign it instead, like this:
$(option).click(function() {
selectedRemoveFootballPlayerId = $(this).attr('value');
selectedRemoveFootballPlayerName = $(this).text();
});
Regarding question one, it's somewhat easier to simply move the selected option element from one list to the other:
$('#listboxFootballPlayers option:selected').appendTo('#selectedFootballPlayers');
I've commented out the lines that don't appear to be needed in the JS Fiddle demo.
As for your second question, I've rewritten the if/else statement:
$('input#btnRemoveFootballPlayerFromList').click(function() {
if (!$('#selectedFootballPlayers option:selected')){
alert("First select a player to remove.");
}
else {
$('#selectedFootballPlayers option:selected').appendTo('#listboxFootballPlayers ');
}
});

I was attempting to do some string comparisons in javascript. I have seen several tutorials and examples but they do not seem to work. I am missing something fundamental?
Attempt 1
function addAspect(aspect) {
var print = document.createElement('p');
var ptext;
if (aspect == "Option1") ptext = document.createTextNode("This is option1");
}
Doesnt work.
Then I found this example to which all readers said it worked fine
function addAspect() {
var print = document.createElement('p');
var ptext;
var aspect = String(document.getElementById("aspectResult").value);
if (aspect == "Option1") ptext = document.createTextNode("This is option1");
}
Doesnt work.
I also tried .toString() as well as the '===' exact match comparison.
Full code
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addAspect()
{
var print = document.createElement('p');
var ptext;
var aspect = document.getElementById("aspectResult").value;
if (aspect == "Option1"){
ptext = document.createTextNode("This is option1");
}
print.appendChild(ptext);
document.getElementById("mainBlock").appendChild(print);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select id="aspectResult">
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Check" onclick="addAspect()"/>
</form>
<span id="mainBlock"> </span>
</body>
</html>
Any suggestions?
First, a small introduction to how dropdowns work:
<select id="aspectResult">
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
</select>
To read the selected value from the dropdown, you should do this:
var dropdown = document.getElementById('aspectResult'),
selectedValue = dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value;
Then, you create the <p> element with a text node inside:
var p = document.createElement('p'),
txt;
if (selectedValue == 'Option1') {
txt = document.createTextNode('This is option 1');
}
Afterwards, you can append the newly created paragraph to the container of your choice:
var container = document.getElementById('mainBlock');
if (txt) {
p.appendChild(txt);
container.appendChild(p);
}
All together now!
If you are trying to add the ptext to the paragraph, you need to add two lines to the end:
function addAspect(aspect) {
var prnt = document.createElement('p');
var ptext;
if( aspect == "Option1" ) {
ptext = document.createTextNode("This is option1");
prnt.appendChild(ptext); // Add the text to the paragraph
document.body.appendChild(prnt); // Add the paragraph to the document
}
}
Your function creates a text node but then does nothing with it, so you code appears to do nothing at all. You need to append the text node to an element somewhere in the DOM:
document.body.appendChild(ptext);
Your full code appears to be working fine in IE9, Firefox 4 and Chrome 11. See http://jsbin.com/ekura5/.
i'm developing a meta search engine website, Soogle and i've used JS to populate select menu..
Now, after the page is loaded none of engines is loaded by default, user needs to select it on his own or [TAB] to it..
Is there a possibility to preselect one value from the menu via JS after the page loads?
This is the code:
Javascript:
// SEARCH FORM INIT
function addOptions(){
var sel=document.searchForm.whichEngine;
for(var i=0,l=arr.length;i<l;i++){
sel.options[i]=new Option(arr[i][0], i);
}
}
function startSearch(){
var searchString=document.searchForm.searchText.value;
if(searchString.replace(/\s+/g,"").length > 0){
var searchEngine=document.searchForm.whichEngine.selectedIndex,
finalSearchString=arr[searchEngine][1]+searchString;
window.location=finalSearchString;
}
return false;
}
function checkKey(e){
var key = e.which ? e.which : event.keyCode;
if(key === 13){
return startSearch();
}
}
// SEARCH ENGINES INIT
var arr = [
["Web", "http://www.google.com/search?q="],
["Images", "http://images.google.com/images?q="],
["Knowledge","http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search="],
["Videos","http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query="],
["Movies", "http://www.imdb.com/find?q="],
["Torrents", "http://thepiratebay.org/search/"]
];
HTML:
<body onload="addOptions();document.forms.searchForm.searchText.focus()">
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="logo"></div>
<form name="searchForm" method="POST" action="javascript:void(0)">
<input name="searchText" type="text" onkeypress="checkKey(event);"/>
<span id="color"></span>
<select tabindex="1" name="whichEngine" selected="Web"></select>
<br />
<input tabindex="2" type="button" onClick="return startSearch()" value="Search"/>
</form>
</div>
</body>
I appreciate that your question asks for a solution that utilises JavaScript, but having looked at the webpage in question I feel confident in making this point:
Your problem is that you are trying to use JavaScript for something that HTML itself was designed to solve:
<select name="whichEngine">
<option value="http://www.google.com/search?q=" selected="selected">Web</option>
<option value="http://images.google.com/images?q=">Images</option>
<option value="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=">Knowledge</option>
<option value="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=">Videos</option>
<option value="http://www.imdb.com/find?q=">Movies</option>
<option value="http://thepiratebay.org/search/">Torrents</option>
</select>
Fear not, though! You can still access all of the options from JavaScript in the same way that you did before.
function alertSelectedEngine() {
var e = document.getElementsByName("whichEngine")[0];
alert("The user has selected: "+e.options[e.selectedIndex].text+" ("+e.options[e.selectedIndex].value+")");
}
Please, forgive and listen to me.
I have modified the code to use jQuery. It is working fine in IE8, IE8 (Compatibility mode) and in FireFox.

You had some errors in how you handle the <select> values and options. I would reorganize your JavaScript like this:
// SEARCH ENGINES
var arr = [["Web", "http://www.google.com/search?q="],
["Images", "http://images.google.com/images?q="],
["Knowledge", "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search="],
["Videos", "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query="],
["Movies", "http://www.imdb.com/find?q="],
["Torrents", "http://thepiratebay.org/search/"]];
// SEARCH FORM INIT
function addOptions(){
var sel=document.searchForm.whichEngine;
for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++) {
sel.options[i]=new Option(arr[i][0],arr[i][1]);
}
}
function startSearch(){
var searchString = document.searchForm.searchText.value;
if(searchString!==''){
var mySel = document.searchForm.whichEngine;
var finalLocation = mySel.options[mySel.selectedIndex].value;
finalLocation += encodeURIComponent(searchString);
location.href = finalLocation;
}
return false;
}
function checkKey(e){
var character=(e.which) ? e.which : event.keyCode;
return (character=='13') ? startSearch() : null;
}
I would also move your onload handler into the main body of your JavaScript:
window.onload = function() {
addOptions();
document.searchForm.searchText.focus();
};
I also made some changes to your HTML:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="logo"></div>
<form name="searchForm" method="POST" action="." onsubmit="return false;">
<input name="searchText" type="text" onkeypress="checkKey(event);" />
<span id="color"></span>
<select tabindex="1" name="whichEngine" selected="Web"></select><br />
<input tabindex="2" type="button" value="Search"
onclick="startSearch();" />
</form>
</div>
</body>
You could specify which egine you would like preselected in the engines array like this:
// SEARCH ENGINES INIT
// I've used array literals for brevity
var arr = [
["Web", "http://www.google.com/search?q="],
["Images", "http://images.google.com/images?q="],
["Knoweledge", "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search="],
/*
* notice that this next line has an extra element which is set to true
* this is my default
*/
["Videos", "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=", true],
["Movies", "http://www.imdb.com/find?q="],
["Torrents", "http://thepiratebay.org/search/"]
];
Then in your setup function:
// SEARCH FORM INIT
function addOptions() {
var sel = document.searchForm.whichEngine;
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
// notice the extra third argument to the Option constructor
sel.options[i] = new Option( arr[i][0], i, arr[i][2] );
}
}
if your only concern is preselecting an engine onload, don't "over-engineer" it.
var Web = "http://www.google.com/search?q=";
var Images = "http://images.google.com/images?q=";
var Knowledge = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=";
var Videos = "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=";
var Movies = "http://www.imdb.com/find?q=";
var Torrents = "http://thepiratebay.org/search/";
function addOptions(source){
var sel=document.searchForm.whichEngine;
for(var i=0,l=arr.length;i<l;i++){
sel.options[i]=new Option(arr[i][0], i);
}
}
then insert your argument made onto your body tag to a pre-defined variable. If you want something random, create a new function with your equation for selecting a random variable then load your addOptions(function) within your new function. Then remove addOptions from your body tag.
<body onload="addOptions(Web);document.forms.searchForm.searchText.focus()">
