HI all,
In JS, how can I change the selected value of a dropdownlist(se lect options)
I know the value of indexed value of the selected value before it is
changed.
Thanks

Hi Robert,
Just change the value of the OPTION object, like this:
<form name="myFruitsF orm" action="bla.php ">
<SELECT name="fruit" onChange="chang eValue();">
<OPTION value="apple">a pple
<OPTION value="orange"> orange
<OPTION value="pear">pe ar
</SELECT>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeValue(){
// this function makes juice of your fruit.
var selInd = document.forms["myFruitsFo rm"].fruit.selected Index;
// get the option object
var myOption = document.forms["myFruitsFo rm"].fruit[selInd];
// and change into fruitjuice:
myOption.value = myOption.value + "juice";
// optionally change the text:
myOption.text = myOption.text + " just juiced!";
}
</script>

HI erwin,
Thanks for this. This actually helps in a ntoher portion of my app.
But to get to this one
I think I did'nt explain myself correctly
Taking your example below
If when the webform is opened and the 'apple option is selected'
The user then makes a selection, and if they select 'orange' I want to do
something like
Alert("Sorry oranges are out of stock")
then change the selected option back to its original selection, that being
'apple'
so that when the user closes the alert box, orange is no longer selectd but
apple is
Thanks

Hi Robert,
For that to work you'll have to store the value of the initially selected
somewhere in your script.
Then if they change the selected one, you check if it is legal.
if not, change back to old value.
(I wonder why you offer an option if it is not usefull, but that is beside
the technical point.)
And since I don't feel like real work today, try this:
<form name="myFruitsF orm" action="bla.php ">
<SELECT name="fruit" onChange="chang eValue();">
<OPTION value="apple">a pple
<OPTION value="orange"> orange
<OPTION value="pear">pe ar
<OPTION value="pineappl e">pineapple
</SELECT>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var initialSelected Ind = document.forms["myFruitsFo rm"].fruit.selected Index;
var notInStore = new Array("pear","o range");
function changeValue(){
var theSelect = document.forms["myFruitsFo rm"].fruit;
var selVal = theSelect[theSelect.selec tedIndex].value;
// In store?
var inStore = true;
for(var i=0;i<notInStor e.length;i++){
if (selVal == notInStore[i]){
inStore = false;
break;
}
}
if (inStore){
// ok, set this value to remember
initialSelected Ind =
document.forms["myFruitsFo rm"].fruit.selected Index;
} else {
alert("We do not sell "+selVal+". Come back after harvest.");
// set back to original value
theSelect[initialSelected Ind].selected = true;
}
}
</script>
Make sure the first call:
var initialSelected Ind = document.forms["myFruitsFo rm"].fruit.selected Index;
is placed after the form.
If you place it above the form the browser will have trouble getting its
initial value (since the form or the selectbox don't exist). Alternatively
use unLoad() in the bodytag.

Erwin Moller Thanks Robert

Thanks for the reponse. Worked great.
For youre wonderings, this is a claim status selection, but We cannot allow
a claim status to represent closed, if there is an outstanding amount. SO I
check for closed and amount != 0 IF this is the case, we cannot use a closed
type status, so it has to warn the user, and then change back to it original
setting. However if there is no outstanding amount then allow the change
Thanks

I've a small bit of javascript on my site that has a from with 2 selection
boxes, when you choose an option in the first box, the second one
re-populates its list accordingly.
But the second selection box can have varying amounts of entries, and this
means theres a lot of white spaces in the second selection box sometimes. Is
there any way to eliminate this? Here's my code:
