Answer 1

HTML:

<select id="sel">

</select>

JavaScript:

$(function() {
    var data = [
        {
        "id": "1",
        "name": "test1"},
    {
        "id": "2",
        "name": "test2"}
    ];
    $.each(data, function(i, option) {
        $('#sel').append($('<option/>').attr("value", option.id).text(option.name));
    });
})

Try this, This will give you an option to have any number of dropdown boxes and JSON nodes to configure dropdown boxes.

You need to follow few steps:

• Create an array of dropdown boxes.(e.g. if you have to configure a phone then you should be using dropdown of color, memory etc.)
• Create a JSON object as it is created in code. Dont change the configurable items name which starts with "level1" and end with any number of nodes, As it has to be sync with the index of items of array you are creating in the first place.

Here is the data:

var Dropdowns = ["Model", "Color", "Memory","design","covers","music"];
var Data ={"phones":[
  {
     "oid":":000000F0:00000458:",
     "level1":"3G",
     "level2":"white",
     "level3":"16GB",
     "level4":"slim",
     "level5":"Back cover",
     "level6":"headphone",
     "price":"£568.63",
     "addToCart":"#Cart1"
  },
  {
     "oid":":000000F0:000003DA:",
     "level1":"3G",
     "level2":"black",
     "level3":"16GB",
     "level4":"slim",
     "level5":"Flip cover",
     "level6":"headphone",
     "price":"£615.79",
     "addToCart":"#Cart7"
  }]};

Try this :)

Javascript:

$.getJSON("/array.json",
  function (json) {
      $.each(json,
      function (key, value) {
      $("#id-select").append("<option value='" + value.c + "'>" + value.d + "</option>");
      });
});
