This one is driving me nuts. It’s got to be something simple and stupid that I am overlooking. I have a multiple select box in a form. I am just trying to get the values th
Also, change this:
SelBranchVal = SelBranchVal + "," + InvForm.SelBranch[x].value;
to
SelBranchVal = SelBranchVal + InvForm.SelBranch[x].value+ "," ;
The reason is that for the first time the variable SelBranchVal
will be empty
Here i am posting the answer just for reference which may become useful.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function show()
{
var InvForm = document.forms.form;
var SelBranchVal = "";
var x = 0;
for (x=0;x<InvForm.kb.length;x++)
{
if(InvForm.kb[x].selected)
{
//alert(InvForm.kb[x].value);
SelBranchVal = InvForm.kb[x].value + "," + SelBranchVal ;
}
}
alert(SelBranchVal);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form">
<select name="kb" id="kb" onclick="show();" multiple>
<option value="India">India</option>
<option selected="selected" value="US">US</option>
<option value="UK">UK</option>
<option value="Japan">Japan</option>
</select>
<!--input type="submit" name="cmdShow" value="Customize Fields"
onclick="show();" id="cmdShow" /-->
</form>
</body>
</html>
Take a look at HTMLSelectElement.selectedOptions.
HTML
<select name="north-america" multiple>
<option valud="ca" selected>Canada</a>
<option value="mx" selected>Mexico</a>
<option value="us">USA</a>
</select>
JavaScript
var elem = document.querySelector("select");
console.log(elem.selectedOptions);
//=> HTMLCollection [<option value="ca">Canada</option>, <option value="mx">Mexico</option>]
This would also work on non-multiple
<select>
elements
Warning: Support for this selectedOptions
seems pretty unknown at this point
The for loop is getting one extra run. Change
for (x=0;x<=InvForm.SelBranch.length;x++)
to
for (x=0; x < InvForm.SelBranch.length; x++)
