I have 2 different SELECT OPTION in a form.
The first one is Source, the second one is Status. I would like to have different OPTIONS in my Status drop-down list dep
You're better off making two selects
and showing one while hiding the other.
It's easier, and adding options
to selects
with your method will not work in IE8 (if you care).
for this, I have noticed that it far better to show and hide the tags instead of adding and removing them for the DOM. It performs better that way.
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>
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).ready(function () {
$("#source").change(function () {
var el = $(this);
if (el.val() === "ONLINE") {
$("#status").append("<option>SHIPPED</option>");
} else if (el.val() === "MANUAL") {
$("#status option:last-child").remove();
}
});
});
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>

For more details, I mean to make dynamic and more dependency please take a look at my article create dynamic drop-down list
I hope the following code will help or solve your problem or you think not that understandable visit http://phppot.com/jquery/jquery-dependent-dropdown-list-countries-and-states/.
HTML DYNAMIC DEPENDENT SELECT
<div class="frmDronpDown">
<div class="row">
<label>Country:</label><br/>
<select name="country" id="country-list" class="demoInputBox" onChange="getState(this.value);">
<option value="">Select Country</option>
<?php
foreach($results as $country) {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $country["id"]; ?>"><?php echo $country["name"]; ?></option>
<?php
}
?>
</select>
</div>
<div class="row">
<label>State:</label><br/>
<select name="state" id="state-list" class="demoInputBox">
<option value="">Select State</option>
</select>
</div>
GETTING STATES VIA AJAX
<script> function getState(val) { $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "get_state.php",
data:'country_id='+val,
success: function(data){
$("#state-list").html(data);
}
});} </script>
READ STATE DATABASE USING PHP
<?php require_once("dbcontroller.php"); $db_handle = new DBController();if(!empty($_POST["country_id"])) {
$query ="SELECT * FROM states WHERE countryID = '" . $_POST["country_id"] . "'";
$results = $db_handle->runQuery($query); ?> <option value="">Select State</option><?php foreach($results as $state) { ?> <option value="<?php echo $state["id"]; ?>"><?php echo $state["name"]; ?></option><?php } } ?>
