Hi !
I have a problem with Internet Explorer that I really can't explain.
If anyone can find a solution to this, I congratulate you...
I'm trying to have a script dynamically select all (or some) of the
options in a select field. It won't work, it will only select one
option at a time...
While I was trying to debug, I realized that if I put an alert before
the instructions, it will work !!!
I've been able to recreate the problem in a simple html file... try
this !
First run the file as it is here... one option is selected.
Then, uncomment the alert("test"); line and run it again... all
options are selected !!!!!!!
Thanks for any help...

Roughly I'd say is a runtime issue in IE, so, do the appendChild() first, and
the .multiple=true; afterwards, as for selecting options, new Option() constructor has 4
optional arguments, the last 2 are also boolean, true/false if its default state is to
selected , and true/false for current state to selected, which you can use when making the
option, instead of looping through.

Hmmm.. nope ! I've tried both Ideas and it did nothing good...
I'm wondering if there might be something I could put instead of an
alert that would cause it to magically work without requiring user
input...
Found an answer on another thread of this forum (aparently, lots of
people have experienced this). If I create the select using this
format, it'll work :
this.fieldReference = window.document.createElement("<select
name=\"myselect\" id=\"myselect\" multiple=\"multiple\"
size=\"10\"></select>");

Kindof lame but, putting the last line in a timeout for a delay made it
work on mine.
setTimeout("myField.selectAll();",10); This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
