COMBO BOX - Javascript reset combo box

[neo3114]

Hi all,

I have the following form on my page


[HTML]<form>
<select name= "combo1"onchange="jscript:document.location.hash=t his.value">
<option value="">Please Select Building</option>
<option value="build1">building 1</option>
</select>
<input type="reset">
</form>[/HTML]

What i want is to do away with the reset button, and have the box automatically reset after the jscript has jumped to the correct tag.

How can i do this?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you mean by jumping to the correct tag, but you can call a function that will reset it for you, either by setting the combo value back to the original value, e.g. build1, or calling the form reset method:

document.getElementById(formid).reset();

how would i write that into the combo onchange, i dont know how to make the two commands run one after the other.
thanks

There's two ways: either put it all in the onchange using a semi-colon (;) in between or call a function instead and put both statements in that function.

ok tried the following

[HTML]<form>
<form id="menu" name="menu">
<select name= "combo1"onchange="jscript:document.location.hash=t his.value;document.getElementById('menu').reset()" >
<option value="">Please Select Building</option>
<option value="build1">building 1</option>
</select>
<input type="reset">
</form>[/HTML]

i am so new to this javascript thing, but i cant make head nor tail of this

i appreciate your help

this is the best way to customize the reset button works ....not having the default behaviours of form.reset().....
<input type = button value = Reset onclick = reset()>

function reset()
{
//ur code is here...
document.getElementByName(combo_'name').selectedIn dex = 0;
}

Try
[HTML]<select name="combo1" onchange="javascript:document.location.hash=this.v alue; document.getElementById('menu').reset()">[/HTML]
Note, jscript is IE-specific, use javascript instead. In fact, you don't even need "javascript:".
Also, get rid of that first form tag (the one that has no id).

Acoder thanks very much for your help and your patience.

That seems to work a treat!

Thanks again
