I have a JavaScript that sniffs out the Timezone Abbreviation of the users
local machine:
AKST EDT MST PST CST etc
I have a select box that lists out the Timezones
<select name="strTimeZone" >
<option value="HADT"> Hawaii-Aleutian Daylight Time
<option value="HAST"> Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time
<option value="AKDT"> Alaska Daylight Time
<option value="AKST"> Alaska Standard Time
<option value="PDT"> Pacific Daylight Time
Etc.....
</select>
I am able to programmaticly selected an item using the numeric
selectedIndex value like so
--------------------
var x=document.getElementById("strTimeZone");
x.options.selectedIndex=1;
----------------------
Now how do I do this by using the option tags *value* that I have already
parsed from the JS time object?
If the time zone was PDT would select this item:
<option value="PDT"> Pacific Daylight Time
w3schools has an example using the *text* attribute (the items displayed in
the drop down) Like so
http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=try_dom_option_settext
-----------------------------
<script>
var x=document.getElementById("mySelect");
x.options[x.selectedIndex].text="Melon";
</script>
<select id="mySelect">
<option>Apple</option>
<option>Orange</option>
<option>Pineapple</option>
<option>Banana</option>
</select>
---------------------------
I googled it and I can't find a way to do it using the "value=" attribute
(which I already have)
I tried doing this:
-----------------------------
var x=document.getElementById("strTimeZone");
x.options[x.selectedIndex].value="PDT";
---------------------------
Would (in theory) select this item:
<option value="PDT"> Pacific Daylight Time
But no dice...
Any suggestion other that to build a JS array from the TimeZone database
table and use that?
TIA
Gerald
