Lamez Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Alright, I am making a bracket system, and I want it to add the selection to the next drop down box, but I need to be able to process the picks as a php variable, but I can do that part. How can I do this: Round 1 Team A Team B *User selected* Round 2 Team B *User selected* Team C Round 3 Team B Team D *user selected and so on.. What is this called? How can I do it?

phpQuestioner Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Do you want each select menu's selected option to alternate; is that what your wanting? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91060-dropdown-boxes/#findComment-467178 Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpQuestioner Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 You should be able to do this with JavaScript, but I think the best method would be server side.

Lamez Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 this is fine, but I have no experience in JS, and I was hoping someone had an example I could use.

phpQuestioner Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Is it just 3 select menus or could it be multiple select menus? I need to know; to cater to the js code I am going to write for you. Also; will it always be 2 options only?

Lamez Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 it is going to be multiple. Yes and only 2 selections in each menu. Thank You Very Very Much! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91060-dropdown-boxes/#findComment-467256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpQuestioner Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Here is a basic demo; it's got an error (which there is a odd number of select menus) which I am still working on, but it does work. If you will give me a little bit; I will figure out the error and correct it. <select> <option></option> <option>One</option> <option>Two</option> </select> <select> <option></option> <option>One</option> <option>Two</option> </select> <select> <option></option> <option>One</option> <option>Two</option> </select> <select> <option></option> <option>One</option> <option>Two</option> </select> <select> <option></option> <option>One</option> <option>Two</option> </select> <select> <option></option> <option>One</option> <option>Two</option> </select> <script language="javascript"> var max = document.getElementsByTagName('option').length; for(i=0;i<max;i++) { if (i%2) { i=i+2; document.getElementsByTagName('option')[i].selected = true; } else { i=i+1; document.getElementsByTagName('option')[i].selected = true; } } </script> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91060-dropdown-boxes/#findComment-467327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 How do these work? Say I selected option one from the first list, does it add the selection to the next list?

phpQuestioner Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Oh - my mistake; are you wanting a chained select menu? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91060-dropdown-boxes/#findComment-467343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Well sorta I want 2 options in one list box. 1 option is pre-made, and the other option is made from the selection in the previous box Example: Box 1: Option 1 Option 2 (user selected this option, add it to the next list) Box 2: Option 2 Option 3 (user selected this option, add it to the next list) Box 3: Option 3 (user selected this option, add it to the next list) Option 4 Box 4: Option 3 (user selected this option, add it to the next list) Option 5 and so on.. I am really not sure how to go about this. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91060-dropdown-boxes/#findComment-467350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpQuestioner Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 This may help you see how to add options to a select menu: http://javascript.internet.com/forms/adding-options.html If not; Google something like "adding select menu options with javascript"; that should return you several examples of adding options to a select menu. You also may want to Google "JavaScript Chained Select Menus".
