I need some help finding a jQuery plugin which will allow me to display an image preview from a select list of images - onfocus/onchange..
Example:
<select name="image" id="image" class="inputbox" size="1">
<option value=""> - Select Image - </option>
<option value="image1.jpg">image1.jpg</option>
<option value="image2.jpg">image2.jpg</option>
<option value="image3.jpg">image3.jpg</option>
</select>
<div id="imagePreview">
displays image here
</div>
Has anyone come across something like this? I've tried searching for it to no avail..
Thank you!
I'm not sure you need a plugin to deal with this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#image").change(function() {
var src = $(this).val();
$("#imagePreview").html(src ? "<img src='" + src + "'>" : "");
});
});
I don't think there is a plugin for this, but it is fairly trivial to do "by hand"
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#image').change(function(){
$('#imagePreview').html('<img src="'+$('#image').val()+'"/>');
});
});
You should add a validation for non-existent images and such. Your mileage may vary. etc.
Do you really need a plugin?
Would something simple like below work?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#image").change(function() {
$("#imagePreview").empty();
if ( $("#image").val()!="" ){
$("#imagePreview").append("<img src=\"" + $("#image").val() + "\" />");
}
else{
$("#imagePreview").append("displays image here");
}
});
});
</script>

<body>
<select name="image" id="image" class="inputbox" size="1">
<option value=""> - Select Image - </option>
<option value="image1.jpg">image1.jpg</option>
<option value="image2.jpg">image2.jpg</option>
<option value="image3.jpg">image3.jpg</option>
</select>
<div id="imagePreview">

</div>

Alternative method with AJAX. I have not tested it, but googled about the topic. Here are some notes:

response.binaryWrite(imageBytes);

I am sharing here pure javascript version to change image using dropdown :-
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var Path='http://www.domainname.com/images/';
function CngColor(obj){
index=obj.selectedIndex;
if (index<1){ return; }
document.getElementById('Img1').src=Path+obj.options[index].value;
}
</script></head>
<body>
<select onchange="CngColor(this);" >
<option >Select</option>
<option value="Zero.gif" >Zero</option>
<option value="One.gif" >1</option>
<option value="Two.gif" >2</option>
<option value="Three.gif" >3</option>
<option value="Four.gif" >4</option>
</select>
<img id="Img1" src="http://www.domainname.com/images/Blank.gif" width=100 height=100 >
</body>
