How can I copy all options
of one select
element to another? Please give me the easiest way, I\'m allergic to looping.
Please help me. Than
Its an older thread but I hope the following helps someone. No loops at all.
function copyFromMultiselect(srcId,targetId, allFlag){
if(allFlag){
$("#"+targetId).append($("#"+srcId).html());
$("#"+srcId).empty();
}else{
$("#"+targetId).append($("#"+tabContentId+" #"+srcId+" option:selected"));
}
}
you can do that easily via jquery:
<select id="sel1">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
</select>
<select id="sel2">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
</select>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#sel2").html($("#sel1").html());
});
One of the easiest ways without looping, is using jquery
(select1
= id of select 1, select2
= id of select 2):
$('#select1 option').clone().appendTo('#select2');
Without jquery
:
var select1 = document.getElementById("select1");
var select2 = document.getElementById("select2");
select2.innerHTML = select2.innerHTML+select1.innerHTML;
use jQuery foreach?
$("#the-id option").each(function() {
var val = $(this).val();
var txt = $(this).html();
$("the-other-id").append(
$('<option></option>').val(val).html(txt);
);
});
html:
<select id="selector_a">
<option>op 1</option>
<option>op 2</option>
</select>
<select id="selector_b">
<option>op 3</option>
<option>op 4</option>
</select>
javascript:
var first = document.getElementById('selector_a');
var options = first.innerHTML;
var second = document.getElementById('selector_b');
var options = second.innerHTML + options;
second.innerHTML = options;
//first ans can be modified as follows to get direct result while using dropdown
<html>
<head>
<script>
onload
function myFunction1(){
var first = document.getElementById('selector_a');
var second = document.getElementById('selector_b');
var chk=document.getElementById('selector_main').value;
if(chk == "1")
var options = first.innerHTML;
else
var options = second.innerHTML;
var out = document.getElementById('selector_c');
out.innerHTML = options;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="myFunction1()">
<select id="selector_main" onchange="myFunction1()">
<option value="none" disabled>--choose--</option>
<option value="1">option_A</option>
<option value="2">option_B</option>
</select>
<select id="selector_a" hidden>
<option value="none" disabled>--select--</option>
<option>op1</option>
<option>op 2</option>
</select>
<select id="selector_b" hidden>
<option value="none" disabled>--select--</option>
<option>op 3</option>
<option>op 4</option>
</select>
<select id="selector_c">
<option>--select col1 first--</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
