html dropdown menu populated by mysql after selection load another dropdown menu - javascript

I'm using PHP to pull from a MySQL table then populate an XML for the javascript to get that information.
Table results example shown here
I want to make a dropdown menu the the hobbienames then when that selection is made another menu to appear with the hsnames that match the hobbiename. obviously if null nothing will appear.

If the first dropdown is not very lengthy, and has a fixed length, then you can retrieve all the possible dropdowns and hide them initially.. On selection of an item from dropdown1 you can then display its corresponding dropdown.
In the other case, if the first dropdown is lengthy, then on its selection, run an AJAX function which will eventually populate the other dropdown.

Here's a sample code which you can use as reference...

How to change dropdown option and price together

I have a select menu with multiple options. Using jQuery I was trying to pre-populate the dropdown. I've tried using this code:
jQuery("select#attribute150").val("Double").click();
I can visually see that the option has been selected, however the actual price has not been changed. I've also tried:
jQuery("select#attribute150").val("Double").change();
URL to the dropdown is here. The dropdown I want to change is "Size".

EXCEL dependent dropdown list

I'm trying to make a dependent dropdown list with excel or with html.
I got the following problem with html: Changing href by value
But my problem with excel is when i have made the dependent drop down list, i try to get it to html but it just shows a table of content listed. Not a dependent dropdown list.
I mean by this thats you can't select values from a list, but it just shows a table of everything you put in to it. Does someone have any information about converting dependent dropdown lists to code?
I can't find anything on the internet..
Or does someone have knowledge about dependent dropdown lists? I would really like to hear from you!

window.history.go() not loading previous user input for dynamically created dropdown lists

I'm having this issue where I have a table that depending on what option I select for the first column, the next column which contains a drop down, will populate with the appropriate values that users can select.
Here's an example
When the user submits the form, they're brought to a results page and have the option of going back to the first screen (where they select the drop downs etc).
Currently, I'm using the window.history.go() function to go back to the previous pages. However, the dynamically created drop downs aren't retaining the value that the user selects (the option that is at the very top of the drop down is always selected).
I'm currently using PHP for the scripts to generate the tables. Is there a way to fix this? Just need someone to point me in the right direction.
Thank you!
u can use history.pushstate(url+'#idx=x') when dropdown changes. and load the param values into dropdown when page loaded

Multi-select dropdown menu

I am working on creating a website using node.js and express. I want to add a multi-select dropdown box. I have a Javascript object which contains a variety of properties and would like to populate the dropdown box with all the property values. I would also like to be able to add new options to the dropdown and have them visible without having to refresh the page. Is there someway to accomplish this? Perhaps using JQuery? I would appreciate if someone could provide an example.
I've tried this example, but I would like to have a multi select checkbox for the dropdown. The example requires the user to press ctrl while clicking to select multiple options.
Thanks!
$("#select_id").append("<option value='value'>name</option>");

retain dropdown values in javascript after the page is reloaded

I am having two dropdowns , in which the second dropdown will be populated only after i select something from the first drop down. if the page is refreshedafter ajax_update the second drop down does not show the previously selected choice ??? How to do this in javascript?
You have a lot of choices for this. My suggestion would be to use the localStorage API to store the choice from the first dropdown. Then on page load, look to see if you have a value stored, and if you do, populate the first dropdown and call its change event to populate the second.
Have a look here for information on localStorage: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/DOM/Storage#localStorage
