How Can i specific require and unique condition for a list of select box like below?
<form name="signupForm" class="cmxform" id="signupForm" method="get" action="">
<select name="category[]" id="cat_1">
<option value="">Select One</option>
<option value="1">aa</option>
<option value="2">bb</option>
<option value="3">cc</option>
<option value="4">dd</option>
</select>
<select name="category[]" id="cat_2">
<option value="">Select One</option>
<option value="5">ee</option>
<option value="6">ff</option>
<option value="7">gg</option>
<option value="8">hh</option>
</select>
<select name="category[]" id="cat_3">
<option value="">Select One</option>
<option value="9">ii</option>
<option value="10">jj</option>
<option value="11">kk</option>
<option value="12">ll</option>
</select>
<input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Notice that there are the number of cat is not fixed, it can be more than 3,
so how to make it required for each selectbox,
and each selectbox chosen value must be unique using jquery validate plugin? Thank you
var $selects = $('form select[name^=category]'),
values = [];
$(':submit').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
values = [];
$($selects).each(function() {
if($(this).val()) {
values.push($(this).val());
}
});
if(!values.length) {
alert('Please select all categories');
return false;
}
if(values.length < $selects.length || $.unique(values).length < $selects.length) {
alert('Please select all categories and be unique');
return false;
}
});

Here is a great jQuery validation plugin that will make your life easier: http://www.position-absolute.com/articles/jquery-form-validator-because-form-validation-is-a-mess/
This is all you need to do: (the plugin does the rest)
<select id="sport" class="validate[required]" name="sport">
<option value="">--Select--</option>
<option value="option1">Tennis</option>
<option value="option2">Football</option>
<option value="option3">Golf</option>
</select>
Hope that helps :)

i want to learn that when i select a value from select input how can i change the value of checkbox.
<input type="checkbox" name="id" value="" id="mycheckbox1">
<select name="cat-1" id="myselectbox1">
<option value="">Choose</option>
<option value="100">Value1</option>
<option value="200">Value2</option>
</select>
Why would you want to?
Anyway:
window.addEventListener("load", function() { // on page load
document.getElementById("myselectbox1").addEventListener("change", function() {
document.getElementById("mycheckbox1").value = this.value;
});
document.getElementById("mycheckbox1").addEventListener("change", function() {
console.log(this.value);
});
});
<input type="checkbox" name="id" value="" id="mycheckbox1">
<select name="cat-1" id="myselectbox1">
<option value="">Choose</option>
<option value="100">Value1</option>
<option value="200">Value2</option>
</select>
function updateCheckbox() {
var val = document.getElementById("myselectbox1").value;
document.getElementById("mycheckbox1").checked = true;
document.getElementById("mycheckbox1").value = val;
}
<input type="checkbox" name="id" value="" id="mycheckbox1">
<select onChange="updateCheckbox()" name="cat-1" id="myselectbox1">
<option selected disabled>Choose</option>
<option value="100">Value1</option>
<option value="200">Value2</option>
</select>
may i ask one more question
i changed my checkbox value if i have one more select input which id cat-2
how can i change name of cat-2 to chosen value of cat-1
For example;
if i choose value1 ( its value=100)
i want to change name of cat-2 to cat-100
```
<input type="checkbox" name="id" value="" id="mycheckbox1">
<select name="cat-1" id="myselectbox1">
<option value="">Choose</option>
<option value="100">Value1</option>
<option value="200">Value2</option>
</select>
<select name="cat-2" id="myselectbox2">
<option value="">Choose</option>
<option value="300">Value3</option>
<option value="400">Value4</option>
</select>
```
I have a select option list for my form and I want to make sure the user has selected one of the options. My function logic implies that if the user keeps the dropdown on the default option, an alert will pop up prompting them to change it. However, no alert shows up whatsoever. What am I doing wrong?
function isOption(form) {
var type = form.getElementByID("pastimetype")
var selectedValue = type.options[type.selectedIndex].value;
if (selectedValue == "selectpastime") {
alert("Please select a pastime.")
return false
}
return true
}
<p><label for="pastime"> Favourite pastime: </label>
<select name="pastime" select id="pastimetype">
<option value="selectpastime">---Please choose an option---</option>
<option value="surfingtheweb">Surfing the Web</option>
<option value="playingsport">Playing Sport</option>
<option value="listeningtomusic">Listening to Music</option>
<option value="watchingtv">Watching TV</option>
<option value="playinggames">Playing Games</option>
<option value="communityservice">Community Service</option>
<option value="daydreaming">Daydreaming</option>
<option value="reading">Reading</option>
<option value="meditation">Meditation</option>
</select>
</p>
you need to add the function to the submit event of the form.
you misspelled getElementById
no need to use form.getElementById
easier to get the value using select.value
use preventDefault instead of returning true/false
Also
function isOption(e) {
var sel = document.getElementById("pastimetype");
var selectedValue = sel.value;
if (selectedValue == "") { // I removed the value from the "Please select"
alert("Please select a pastime.")
e.preventDefault(); // stop submission
}
}
window.addEventListener("load",function() {
document.getElementById("form1").addEventListener("submit",isOption)
})
<form id="form1">
<p><label for="pastime"> Favourite pastime: </label>
<select name="pastime" select id="pastimetype">
<option value="">---Please choose an option---</option>
<option value="surfingtheweb">Surfing the Web</option>
<option value="playingsport">Playing Sport</option>
<option value="listeningtomusic">Listening to Music</option>
<option value="watchingtv">Watching TV</option>
<option value="playinggames">Playing Games</option>
<option value="communityservice">Community Service</option>
<option value="daydreaming">Daydreaming</option>
<option value="reading">Reading</option>
<option value="meditation">Meditation</option>
</select>
</p>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
How do you write the if statement for a select option using javascript?
I wrote a form and made a select option list. I want to write an if statement that will do something if an option is selected.
JS
function name(obj) {
if (option.value == "cat") {
document.getElementById("owner").jim.disabled = true;
}
}
HTML
<p>
selection:*
<select id="Sone" name="Selection" size="1">
<option>Select</option>
<option value="cat" onclick="name(this);">cat</option>
<option value="dog" onclick="name(this);">dog</option>
<option value="bird" onclick="name(this);">bird</option>
<option value="Other" onclick="name(this);">Other</option>
</select>
</p>
<select id= "Sone" name="Selection" onchange="check()">
<option value="cat">cat</option>
<option value="dog">dog</option>
</select>
<input type="text" id="res" size="25"/>
And the function is :-
function check() {
var val = document.getElementById('Sone').value;
if(val=='cat') {
document.getElementById('res').value = "Thanks for selecting cat";
} else {
document.getElementById('res').value = "please select CAT";
}
}
You have to work as below
<form name="AddEditUser">
.
.
<select name="listCompany" style="width:200px" id="listCompany" onchange="fnCompany()">
<option value="None">None</option>
<option value="ABC">ABC</option>
<option value="XYZ">XYZ</option>
</select>
</form>
You have to call the javascript function a
function fnCompany(){
if(document.frmAddEditUser.listCompany.value=='None'){
//do something
}
}
this is my Form code
<form id="search_mini_form">
<select id="cat" class="input-text-select catvalue" name="cat">
<option value="">All Mediums</option>
<option value="150">Painting</option>
<option value="151">Photography</option>
<option value="152">Work on paper</option>
<option value="153">Drawing</option>
</select>
<select id="style" class="input-text-select styvalue" name="style">
<option value="">All Styles</option>
<option value="54">Abstract</option>
<option value="55">Architectural</option>
</select>
<button class="button" title="Search" type="submit">Search</button>
what trying to achieve on submit my from redirects according to what values are selected from drop down
like if on painting is selected it should redirect to mysite/paintings or if only style (abstract) selected it would redirect to mysite/artwork?abstract or if both selected it should be like mysite/painting?abstract
how can i achieve this ?
i have tried using Jquery
<script type="text/javascript">
$(".catvalue").change(function(){
$catvalue = $(".catvalue option:selected").val();
alert ("$catvalue")
});
$(".styvalue").change(function(){
$styvalue = $(".styvalue option:selected").val();
});
if ($catvalue)
{
$redirecturl = "mysite/"+$jqcatvalue;
}
else if ($styvalue)
{
$redirecturl = "mysite/artwork?"+$styvalue;
}
else if ($styvalue && $styvalue )
{
$redirecturl = "mysite/"+$jqcatvalue="?"+$jqstyvalue;
}
is it right approach ?? how could i pass it to form action ?
edit : using magento so have to get base url by <?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl() ?>
I think what you are looking for here is almost the basic drop down navigation schema, very common implementation similar to this example.
<FORM name="f1">
<SELECT name="s1">
<OPTION SELECTED value="http://www.java2s.com">Java2s.com
<OPTION value="http://www.google.com">Google
<OPTION value="http://www.msn.com">msn
<OPTION value="http://www.perl.com">Perl.com
<OPTION value="http://www.php.net">Php.net
</SELECT>
<INPUT type="button" name="go" value="Go!" onClick="window.location=document.f1.s1.options[document.f1.s1.selectedIndex].value">
</FORM>
Your select options should have the value of the page location to navigate and your onClick value simply calls window.location and uses the selected form data appropriately. No need to actual "submit" the form here to a form handler, use pure javascript like one of the commenters mentioned.
Using this example you could easily add the second portion of your select as a "?option" with an if statement. The onClick could be moved into a function instead of calling window.location directly to do the analysis.
UPDATE: Here is your code re-purposed with this method, it's quick and dirty, might have a couple errors I haven't had the time to check it yet.
<script>
function doSearch() {
var cat = document.search_mini_form.cat.options[document.search_mini_form.cat.selectedIndex].value;
var style = document.search_mini_form.style.options[document.search_mini_form.style.selectedIndex].value;
if ((cat) && (style)) {
alert(cat + "?" + style);
// send to page using variables
}
else if (cat) {
alert(cat);
// send to page using variables
}
else {
alert("nothing selected");
}
}
</script>
<form name="search_mini_form" id="search_mini_form">
<select name="cat" id="cat" class="input-text-select catvalue">
<option value="">All Mediums</option>
<option value="painting">Painting</option>
<option value="photo">Photography</option>
<option value="paper">Work on paper</option>
<option value="drawing">Drawing</option>
</select>
<select name="style" id="style" class="input-text-select styvalue">
<option value="">All Styles</option>
<option value="abstract">Abstract</option>
<option value="arch">Architectural</option>
</select>
<button class="button" title="Search" onClick="doSearch()">Search</button>
</form>
<form id="search_mini_form" action="">
<select id="cat" class="input-text-select catvalue" name="cat">
<option value="">All Mediums</option>
<option value="150">Painting</option>
<option value="151">Photography</option>
<option value="152">Work on paper</option>
<option value="153">Drawing</option>
</select>
<select id="style" class="input-text-select styvalue" name="style">
<option value="">All Styles</option>
<option value="54">Abstract</option>
<option value="55">Architectural</option>
</select>
<button class="button" title="Search" type="submit">Search</button>
$(".input-text-select styvalue").change(function(){
$("search_mini_form").attr("action","mysite/");
var thisvalue = $(this).find("option:selected").text();
$("search_mini_form").attr("action","mysite/"+thisvalue );
});
Please try the following code
<form id="search_mini_form">
<select id="cat" class="input-text-select catvalue" name="cat">
<option value="">All Mediums</option>
<option value="150">Painting</option>
<option value="151">Photography</option>
<option value="152">Work on paper</option>
<option value="153">Drawing</option>
</select>
<select id="style" class="input-text-select styvalue" name="style">
<option value="">All Styles</option>
<option value="54">Abstract</option>
<option value="55">Architectural</option>
</select>
<input class="button" title="Search" type="submit" value="Search"/>
</form>
Check the javascript code
$('#search_mini_form').submit(function(){
var mediums=$('#cat option:selected').text();
var styles=$('#style option:selected').text();
if(styles!="AllStyles" && mediums =="All Mediums")
{
$('#search_mini_form').attr("action",'mysite/artwork?'+styles+'=test');
}
else if(styles =="AllStyles" && mediums !="All Mediums")
{
$('#search_mini_form').attr("action",'mysite/'+mediums);
}
else
{
$('#search_mini_form').attr("action",'mysite/'+mediums+'?'+styles+'=test');
}
});

I have drop-down box in loop. so I want to apply validation.
My Code is-
<select name="travelclasscmb[]" id="travelclasscmb">
<option value="">select</option>
<option value="1">Car</option>
</select>
<select name="travelclasscmb[]" id="travelclasscmb">
<option value="">select</option>
<option value="2">Train</option>
</select>
Try
$('select ').change(function () {
if (this.value === '') {
alert('select a value');
}
});
ID must be unique use classes instead .
Read Two HTML elements with same id attribute: How bad is it really?
Using jQuery Validator
$.validator.addMethod('notNone', function (value, element) {
return (value !== '');
}, 'Please select an option');
To start off, you can't have duplicate id's. Use a class instead.
For the validation you can use the required attribute:
<select name="travelclasscmb[]" class="travelclasscmb" required>
<option value="">select</option>
<option value="1">Car</option>
</select>
<select name="travelclasscmb[]" class="travelclasscmb" required>
<option value="">select</option>
<option value="2">Train</option>
</select>
Please use class for multiple select validation
<select name="travelclasscmb[]" class="travelclasscmb" required>
<option value="">select</option>
<option value="1">Car</option>
</select>
<select name="travelclasscmb[]" class="travelclasscmb" required>
<option value="">select</option>
<option value="2">Train</option>
</select>
**Jquery:**
$('.travelclasscmb').change(function () {
if (this.value === '') {
alert('select a value');
}
});
