Hi everyone. I'm fairly new to jquery and I am kinda perplexed with
this issue.
I've got a page (dashboard.php) with 2 select boxes. The first select
box triggers the jquery script below, which populates the 2nd box with
values:
///
script type=text/javascript charset=utf-8
$(function(){
$(select#startstate).change(function(){
alert($(this).val());//debug
$.getJSON(admin/startcities.php,{id: $(this).val(), ajax: 'true'},
function(j){
var options = '';
for (var i = 0; i j.length; i++) {
options += 'option value=' + j[i].optionValue + '' + j
[i].optionDisplay + '/option';
}
$(select#startcity).html(options);
})
})
})
/script
///
I take the results of those 2 select elements and submit them to the
same page via GET, changing the url to something like this:
dashboard.php?startstate=AKstartcity=ALEKNAGIK
I then grab the startstate value and see if a startcity elements has
been selected. If it is, then I pre-populate the city names and add
SELECTED to the one that was selected in the 2nd box. Here is the code
that typically makes up the 2nd select element:
///
select name=startcity id=startcity
?
if($_GET['startstate'] == TRUE){
echo option value=\\ALL CITIES/option;
$q = SELECT DISTINCT cityname FROM areas WHERE stateabbr = '.$_GET
['startstate'].';
$result = $database-query($q);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo option value='.$row['cityname'].';
if($row['cityname'] == $_GET['startcity']){
echo SELECTED ;
}
echo ;
echo $row['cityname'];
echo /option;
}
}
?
/select
///
Ok, if you're still reading, the issue I have is that when I change
the #startstate select box, and the #startcity has been prepopulated,
Firefox ignores the change event. IE however registers it. I put an
alert for debugging right after the change event to make sure. I would
appreciate it if anyone has any ideas what I might have missed.
Thanks in advance!
