I have an object with key/value pairs of options I want to hide/remove from a select list. Neither of the following option selectors work. What am I missing?
$.each(results['hide'], function(name, title) {
$("#edit-field-service-sub-cat-value option[value=title]").hide();
$("#edit-field-service-sub-cat-value option[@value=title]").hide();
});
You cannot do this x-browser. If I recall ie has issues. The easiest thing to do is keep a cloned copy of the select before you remove items, this allows you to easily remove and then append the missing items back.
I was trying to hide options from one select-list based on the selected option from another select-list. It was working in Firefox3, but not in Internet Explorer 6. I got some ideas here and have a solution now, so I would like to share:
function change_fruit(seldd) {
var look_for_id=''; var opt_id='';
$('#obj_id').html("");
$("#obj_id").append("<option value='0'>-Select Fruit-</option>");
if(seldd.value=='0') {
look_for_id='N';
}
if(seldd.value=='1'){
look_for_id='Y';
opt_id='a';
}
if(seldd.value=='2') {
look_for_id='Y';
opt_id='b';
}
if(seldd.value=='3') {
look_for_id='Y';
opt_id='c';
}
if(look_for_id=='Y') {
$("#obj_id_all option[id='"+opt_id+"']").each(function() {
$("#obj_id").append("<option value='"+$(this).val()+"'>"+$(this).text()+"</option>");
});
}
else {
$("#obj_id_all option").each(function() {
$("#obj_id").append("<option value='"+$(this).val()+"'>"+$(this).text()+"</option>");
});
}
}
<select name="obj_id" id="obj_id">
<option value="0">-Select Fruit-</option>
<option value="1" id="a">apple1</option>
<option value="2" id="a">apple2</option>
<option value="3" id="a">apple3</option>
<option value="4" id="b">banana1</option>
<option value="5" id="b">banana2</option>
<option value="6" id="b">banana3</option>
<option value="7" id="c">Clove1</option>
<option value="8" id="c">Clove2</option>
<option value="9" id="c">Clove3</option>
</select>
<select name="fruit_type" id="srv_type" onchange="change_fruit(this)">
<option value="0">All</option>
<option value="1">
