Question

select option with javascript is not displaying select value

3.5k views Asked by ajay At 10 June 2015 at 05:51

here i have a simple 3 select options , like select 1 ,select 2 and select 3 .

on changing select 1 option will reset the values in select 2 and select 3 , and on changing the select 2 values calling another javascript function to reset the values in select 3 .

the problem here is first select 1 is working fine and displaying select 2 values correctly upon selecting the value from select2 is not selecting always showing the one value.

if i remove the javascript onchange call from select 2 then its working fine.

sample code below .

function L1Change() {
    var obj = document.getElementById("L1");
    objVal = obj.options[obj.options.selectedIndex].value;

    var obj2 = document.getElementById("L2");
    obj2.options.length = 0;
    obj2.options[0] = new option("op33","1");
    obj2.options[0].selected = "true";

    if (objVal == 1) {
        obj2.options[1] = new option("op34","2");
        obj2.options[2] = new option("op35","3");
    }

    if (objVal == 2) {
        obj2.options[1] = new option("op44","2");
        obj2.options[2] = new option("op45","3");
    }
}

<select name="L1" id="I1" onChange="javascript:L1Change()">
    <option selected="selected" value="1">op1</option>
    <option  value="2">op2</option>
    <option  value="3">op3</option>
</select>

<select name="L2" id="I2" onChange="javascript:L2Change()">
    <option selected="selected" value="1">op11</option>
    <option  value="2">op12</option>
    <option  value="3">op13</option>
</select>

from the above code if i removed on change function from select2 values in select2 is working properly . any one give me an idea how to fix this issue .

Thanks.
