PHP Selection not showing on selction on dropbox

[DigiMartKe]

I have written the following code;

 

<label for="System">Symptom</label>

            <label for="Symptom">              

              <select name="Symptom" id="SymptomId" onchange="Symselect()">

              

              <p id="demo"></p>

                <script>

                    function Symselect() {

                        var x = document.getElementById("Symptomid").value;

                        document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "You selected: " + x;

                    }

                    </script>

 

This is not working. When a select an item on the dropbox , it should display the selection. Similar to  http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_onchange.

 

Kindly assist .

The code you posted is not PHP. What you posted is HTML/Javascript.

 

The PHP Help forum is for getting help with your PHP code not HTML/Javascript. We have specific forums sections for those languages.

You're using "SymptomId" here:

<select name="Symptom" id="SymptomId" onchange="Symselect()">

And "Symptomid" here:

 var x = document.getElementById("Symptomid").value;

Those values need to match. Note: the values are case sensitive.

 

 

Note that I moved the topic to the JavaScript forum.

Also, note that the code posted isn't complete. Perhaps you just didn't post it all, but you're missing the <option> tags and the end </select> tag.

 

And for what it's worth, you should consider reviewing the documentation for the <label> tag.
