Not deleting data..

[SoberDude]

I have an AJAX script which appends the following to a span (well, it's similar):

 

<select id='select_thing' onchange='functionhere();'>
<option value='1' selected>1</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
</select>

 

Whenever functionhere() is called, it repeats it (appends the above into that span again).

 

If you select two, it will go back to 1, which it's supposed to do (since, when the AJAX is called, it just puts the above code into the innerHTML).

 

However, if I say:

 

alert(select_thing.value);

 

after changing the value to 2, it always says 2, even though the selected value is 1.

 

So, basically, it seems to be caching the selected option or something.

 

Any fix?

 

Thanks

I haven't a clue what you are talking about.

 

As for this...

However, if I say:

 

alert(select_thing.value);

 

after changing the value to 2, it always says 2, even though the selected value is 1.

What else would you expect the value of the field to be after changing the value to 2?

 

I think you need to provide more info on what the function is doing when it is called.

After selecting 2, the value automatically changes back to 1, essentially. Since 1 is selected, you would expect for the value to be 1. However, it still says two.

Well, apparently, I fixed it, by adding select_thing.value= this.value into the onchange event. Very odd. .-.
