I am trying to call a javascript function from the onchange attribute of the select
tag ! My issue is that I am passing the name attribute of the select to the
PHP is run on the server before JavaScript is ever run in the browser. It doesn't get re-evaluated when the user changes the selected item.
HTML:
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<select name="slct" id="name" onchange="rohan(this.value)">
<option>Select</option>
<option value="yes" selected="selected"> yes </option>
<option value="nopes"> nopes </option>
<option value="may be"> May be </option>
<option value="dont know"> dont know </option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
JS:
<script>
function rohan(value)
{
//you can get the value from arguments itself
alert(value);
}
</script>
No put in tag HTML attribute javascript, onchange
is better in the script:
<script>
var b=document.getElementById('name');
b.onchange=function (){
var a=document.getElementById('name').value;
console.log(a);
}
</script>
