DropList Script help

[ibrahimjan]

Sorry guys I need help with the following JS script, what I need to do is put a different values for "actual" to "select" but when I do that the two fields do not work, they do not copy each other, is there a way we can change the JS script to allow me to do that, please help, I hope I posted this in the correct place, any help is much appreciated.this is the html:<select name="select" onchange="listSel(this,'actual')"> <option value="0"selected="selected">Design Only</option> <option value="16">Design & Print</option> </select> <select name="actual" id= "actual"><option value="0"selected="selected">Design Only</option><option value="16">Design & Print</option></select>This is the droplist.js// JavaScript Documentfunction listSel(fld,id) {var opt = fld.selectedIndex;if (fld[opt].value != ' ') {var sel = document.getElementById(id);for (var i = sel.options.length -1; i > -1; i--) {if (fld[opt].value == sel.value) sel.selected = true;}}}

you want the selected option of id="actual" to change to selected option of name="select" dropdown list? if so I can't see any problem it works just fine from what i can see.

thank you for the reply, at the moment it works fine but what I want is this please have a look:<select name="select" onchange="listSel(this,'actual')"><option value="0"selected="selected">Design Only</option><option value="16">Design & Print</option></select><select name="actual" id= "actual"><option value="Design Only"selected="selected">Design Only</option> CHANGED<option value="Design & Print">Design & Print</option> CHANGED</select>when changing the <option value= "Design Only" and "Design & Print" the script stops working, try it and see if it works

well that because NOW! you are comparing value 0 and 16 with 'Design Only' and 'Design & Print' which won't match and therefore won't do anything.to continue to work it would now have to compare text between option tagsif (fld[opt].text == sel.text) sel.selected = true;

I have modified the html part of the script, I have added server side ASP to it, please have a look once again if possible, as now its not working?? can you see what I am I doing wrong, the JS is still the same.<select name="select2" onchange="listSel(this,'actual2')"><option value="Poster Material"<%If (Not isNull((Recordset2.Fields.Item("Format").Value))) Then If "Poster Material" = CStr((Recordset2.Fields.Item("Format").Value)) Then Response.Write("selected=""selected""") : Response.Write("")%>>Poster Material</option><option value="Banner Material 500uc"<%If (Not isNull((Recordset2.Fields.Item("Format").Value))) Then If "Banner Material 500uc" = CStr((Recordset2.Fields.Item("Format").Value)) Then Response.Write("selected=""selected""") : Response.Write("")%>>Banner Material 500uc</option> </select><select name="actual2" id="actual2"><option value="190"<%If (Not isNull((Recordset2.Fields.Item("Format").Value))) Then If "Poster Material" = CStr((Recordset2.Fields.Item("Format").Value)) Then Response.Write("selected=""selected""") : Response.Write("")%>>Poster Material</option><option value="190"<%If (Not isNull((Recordset2.Fields.Item("Format").Value))) Then If "Banner Material 500uc" = CStr((Recordset2.Fields.Item("Format").Value)) Then Response.Write("selected=""selected""") : Response.Write("")%>>Banner Material 500uc</option></select>

does the html look the same as the code previously produced without the vbasic, does the value or text match identically? (no extra space, matching case).I can't tell what values you are retrieving from db, only you can do that.
