this might have been answered already, but I don't think this particular question has been answered.
I have a dropbox (select & option) and I want to display the value on screen when the dropbox isn't selected and display the text when it is selected
Example:
<select id="inputmsgType" class="form-control width-90">
<option value=0>description0</option>
<option value=1>description1</option>
<option value=2>description2</option>
</select>
So I want to display the descriptions when I want to select an option.
But I want to display the value of the selected option in the dropbox field itself
(when I'm not selecting something)
is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Something like this ?
Bootply : http://www.bootply.com/128894
JS :
$('#inputmsgType').on('change mouseleave', function(){
$('#inputmsgType option').each(function(){
$(this).html( $(this).attr('desc') );
});
$('#inputmsgType option:selected').html( $('#inputmsgType option:selected').attr('value') );
});
$('#inputmsgType').on('mouseover', function(){
$('#inputmsgType option').each(function(){
$(this).html( $(this).attr('desc') );
});
});
HTML :
<select id="inputmsgType" class="form-control width-90">
<option value="0" desc="description0">description0</option>
<option value="1" desc="description1">description1</option>
<option value="2" desc="description2">description2</option>
</select>
With Jquery code, try this one:
$('#inputmsgType').click(function() {
$('#description').html("Option value is:" + $('#inputmsgType').val() +
"<br>Option Description is: " + $('#inputmsgType option:selected').text());
});
