Easy way to add drop down menu with 1 - 100 without doing 100 different options?

Question

I was just wondering if there was a simple shortcut to add options to a dropdown menu for the numbers 1 to 100 instead of having to do the following:

Answer 1

Jquery One-liners:

ES6 + jQuery:

$('#select').append([...Array(100).keys()].map((i,j) => `< option >${i}</option >`))

Lodash + jQuery:

$('#select').append(_.range(100).map(function(i,j){ return $('<option>',{text:i})}))

Answer 2

In Html5, you can now use

<form>
<input type="number" min="1" max="100">
</form>

Answer 3

Not with pure HTML as far as I know.

But with JS or PHP or another scripting language such as JSP, you can do it very easily with a for loop.

Example in PHP:

<select>
<?php
    for ($i=1; $i<=100; $i++)
    {
        ?>
            <option value="<?php echo $i;?>"><?php echo $i;?></option>
        <?php
    }
?>
</select>

Answer 4

As everyone else has said, there isn't one in html; however, you could use PUG/Jade. In fact I do this often.

It would look something like this:

select
  - var i = 1
  while i <= 100
    option=i++

This would produce:

I see this is old but... I dont know if you are looking for code to generate the numbers/options every time its loaded or not. But I use an excel or open office calc page and place use the auto numbering all the time. It may look like this...

| <option> | 1 | </option> |

Then I highlight the cells in the row and drag them down until there are 100 or the number that I need. I now have code snippets that I just refer back to.

Answer 6

Are you using JavaScript or jQuery besides the html? If you are, you can do something like:

HTML:

<select id='some_selector'></select>​

jQuery:

var select = '';
for (i=1;i<=100;i++){
    select += '<option val=' + i + '>' + i + '</option>';
}
$('#some_selector').html(select);

As you can see here.

Another option for compatible browsers instead of select, you can use is HTML5's input type=number:

<input type="number" min="1" max="100" value="1">
