Drop-down box dependent on the option selected in another drop-down box
Solution 1:
Try something like this... jsfiddle demo
HTML
<!-- Source: -->
<select id="source" name="source">
<option>MANUAL</option>
<option>ONLINE</option>
</select>
<!-- Status: -->
<select id="status" name="status">
<option>OPEN</option>
<option>DELIVERED</option>
</select>
JS
$(document).on('ready', function () {
$("#source").on('change', function () {
var el = $(this);
if (el.val() === "ONLINE") {
$("#status").append("<option>SHIPPED</option>");
} else if (el.val() === "MANUAL") {
$("#status option:last-child").remove();
}
});
});
Solution 2:
I am posting this answer because in this way you will never need any plugin like jQuery and any other, This has the solution by simple javascript.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function dynamicdropdown(listindex)
{
switch (listindex)
{
case "manual" :
document.getElementById("status").options[0]=new Option("Select status","");
document.getElementById("status").options[1]=new Option("OPEN","open");
document.getElementById("status").options[2]=new Option("DELIVERED","delivered");
break;
case "online" :
document.getElementById("status").options[0]=new Option("Select status","");
document.getElementById("status").options[1]=new Option("OPEN","open");
document.getElementById("status").options[2]=new Option("DELIVERED","delivered");
document.getElementById("status").options[3]=new Option("SHIPPED","shipped");
break;
}
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<title>Dynamic Drop Down List</title>
<body>
<div class="category_div" id="category_div">Source:
<select id="source" name="source" onchange="javascript: dynamicdropdown(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">
<option value="">Select source</option>
<option value="manual">MANUAL</option>
<option value="online">ONLINE</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="sub_category_div" id="sub_category_div">Status:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
document.write('<select name="status" id="status"><option value="">Select status</option></select>')
</script>
<noscript>
<select id="status" name="status">
<option value="open">OPEN</option>
<option value="delivered">DELIVERED</option>
</select>
</noscript>
</div>
</body>
</html>
For more details, I mean to make dynamic and more dependency please take a look at my article create dynamic drop-down list
Solution 3:
function dropdownlist(listindex)
{
document.getElementById("ddlCity").options.length = 0;
switch (listindex)
{
case "Karnataka":
document.getElementById("ddlCity").options[0] = new Option("--select--", "");
document.getElementById("ddlCity").options[1] = new Option("Dharawad", "Dharawad");
document.getElementById("ddlCity").options[2] = new Option("Haveri", "Haveri");
document.getElementById("ddlCity").options[3] = new Option("Belgum", "Belgum");
document.getElementById("ddlCity").options[4] = new Option("Bijapur", "Bijapur");
break;
case "Tamilnadu":
document.getElementById("ddlCity").options[0] = new Option("--select--", "");
document.getElementById("ddlCity").options[1] = new Option("dgdf", "dgdf");
document.getElementById("ddlCity").options[2] = new Option("gffd", "gffd");
break;
}
}
* State: --Select-- Karnataka Tamilnadu Andra pradesh Telngana
<div>
<p>
<label id="lblCt">
<span class="red">*</span>
City:</label>
<select id="ddlCity">
<!-- <option>--Select--</option>
<option value="1">Dharawad</option>
<option value="2">Belgum</option>
<option value="3">Bagalkot</option>
<option value="4">Haveri</option>
<option>Hydrabadh</option>
<option>Vijat vada</option>-->
</select>
<label id="lblCity"></label>
</p>
</div>
Solution 4:
In this jsfiddle you'll find a solution I deviced. The idea is to have a selector pair in html and use (plain) javascript to filter the options in the dependent selector, based on the selected option of the first. For example:
<select id="continents">
<option value = 0>All</option>
<option value = 1>Asia</option>
<option value = 2>Europe</option>
<option value = 3>Africa</option>
</select>
<select id="selectcountries"></select>
Uses (in the jsFiddle)
MAIN.createRelatedSelector
( document.querySelector('#continents') // from select element
,document.querySelector('#selectcountries') // to select element
,{ // values object
Asia: ['China','Japan','North Korea',
'South Korea','India','Malaysia',
'Uzbekistan'],
Europe: ['France','Belgium','Spain','Netherlands','Sweden','Germany'],
Africa: ['Mali','Namibia','Botswana','Zimbabwe','Burkina Faso','Burundi']
}
,function(a,b){return a>b ? 1 : a<b ? -1 : 0;} // sort method
);
[Edit 2021] or use data-attributes, something like:
document.addEventListener("change", checkSelect);
function checkSelect(evt) {
const origin = evt.target;
if (origin.dataset.dependentSelector) {
const selectedOptFrom = origin.querySelector("option:checked")
.dataset.dependentOpt || "n/a";
const addRemove = optData => (optData || "") === selectedOptFrom
? "add" : "remove";
document.querySelectorAll(`${origin.dataset.dependentSelector} option`)
.forEach( opt =>
opt.classList[addRemove(opt.dataset.fromDependent)]("display") );
}
}[data-from-dependent] {
display: none;
}
[data-from-dependent].display {
display: initial;
}<select id="source" name="source" data-dependent-selector="#status">
<option>MANUAL</option>
<option data-dependent-opt="ONLINE">ONLINE</option>
<option data-dependent-opt="UNKNOWN">UNKNOWN</option>
</select>
<select id="status" name="status">
<option>OPEN</option>
<option>DELIVERED</option>
<option data-from-dependent="ONLINE">SHIPPED</option>
<option data-from-dependent="UNKNOWN">SHOULD SELECT</option>
<option data-from-dependent="UNKNOWN">MAYBE IN TRANSIT</option>
</select>
