How Do I Dynamically Set The Selected Index Of A Dropdown?

[kathymack]

Hi

 

I am using a combination of javascript and php.

 

I use javascript to populate the country dropdown. For example if you selected united states, there is a state_prov dropdown list which updates to display a list of states, if you select Canada, the state_prov is populated with provinces and you select Australia, the state_prov dropdown list is hidden.

 

This works great, except when the record is being added to a table, but when I have the modify form displaying I can't set the selectedIndex of the state_prov to the stateprov value I retreive from the table.

 

Is there some Javascript code I can use to do this?

 

I have renamed my functions.js to functions.txt so that it can be uploaded here.

modify.php

functions.txt

Here's an example of this I've already done for someone.

In the lower $.each, you could just do an if statement for the state of choice and set the selected attribute when you add the one you want.
