Select value from array


Jeisson

Recommended Posts

Hello there friends

 

I have an select box and I would like to define the alue of the selects with array. Like this:

 var price_list= new Array();
 price_list["-"]=0;
 price_list["bronze"]=5;
 price_list["silver"]=10;
 price_list["gold"]=15;

The I have a Selectbox where

<form action="" id="metal" onsubmit="return false;"
            <select id="a" name="metals" class="form-select">
                    <option value="-">-</option>
                    <option value="bronze">bronze</option>
                    <option value="silver">silver</option>
                    <option value="gold">gold</option>
            </select>

And performig calculations with following script (that works fine if the value is directly in select). And obviously there is another select (#b) but that is just numbers so I didn show it here.

  $(document).ready(function() {
           function compute() {
              var a = $('#metals').val();
              var b = $('#b').val();
              var total = a * b * 1.22;
              $('#result').text(total);
            }

            $('#metals, #b').change(compute);
            
         });

I just get returned NaN

The value of that metals thing is the value of the selected option. So "-" or "bronze" or "silver" or "gold".

 

If you want the value to be a number then make the value be a number.

<option value="0">-</option>
<option value="5">bronze</option>
<option value="10">silver</option>
<option value="15">gold</option>

You get the values from AJAX and then put them into the

 

Whatever the method is, you do have both the label and the value so you should be producing list items like
