jQuery prevent change for select

问题:

I want to prevent a select box from being changed if a certain condition applies. Doing this doesn't seem to work:

$('#my_select').bind('change', function(ev) {
  if(my_condition)
  {
    ev.preventDefault();
    return false;
  }
});

I'm guessing this is because by this point the selected option has already changed.

What are other ways of doing this?

Try this:

var my_condition = true;
var lastSel = $("#my_select option:selected");

$("#my_select").change(function(){
  if(my_condition)
  {
    lastSel.prop("selected", true);
  }
});

$("#my_select").click(function(){
    lastSel = $("#my_select option:selected");
});

In the event someone needs a generic version of mattsven's answer (as I did), here it is:

$('select').each(function() {
    $(this).data('lastSelected', $(this).find('option:selected'));
});

$('select').change(function() {
    if(my_condition) {
        $(this).data('lastSelected').attr('selected', true);
    }
});

$('select').click(function() {
    $(this).data('lastSelected', $(this).find('option:selected'));
});

If you simply want to prevent interaction with the select altogether when my_condition is true, you could always just capture the mousedown event and do your event prevent there:

var my_condition = true;

$("#my_select").mousedown(function(e){
  if(my_condition)
  {
     e.preventDefault();
     alert("Because my_condition is true, you cannot make this change.");
  }
});

This will prevent any change event from ever occurring while my_condition is true.

Another option to consider is disabling it when you do not want it to be able to be changed and enabling it:

//When select should be disabled:
{
    $('#my_select').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
}

//When select should not be disabled
{
    $('#my_select').removeAttr('disabled');
}

Update since your comment (if I understand the functionality you want):

$("#dropdown").change(function()
{
    var answer = confirm("Are you sure you want to change your selection?")
    {
        if(answer)
        {
            //Update dropdown (Perform update logic)
        }
        else
        {
            //Allow Change (Do nothing - allow change)
        } 
    }            
});

You might need to use the ".live" option in jQuery since the behavior will be evaluated in real-time based on the condition you've set.

$('#my_select').live('change', function(ev) {
  if(my_condition)
  {
    ev.preventDefault();
    return false;
  }
});

None of the answers worked well for me. The easy solution in my case was:

$("#selectToNotAllow").focus(function(e) {
    $("#someOtherTextfield").focus();
});

This accomplishes clicking or tabbing to the select drop down and simply moves the focus to a different field (a nearby text input that was set to readonly) when attempting to focus on the select. May sound like silly trickery, but very effective.

You can do this without jquery...

<select onchange="event.target.selectedIndex = 0">
...
</select>

or you can do a function to check your condition

<select onchange="check(event)">
...
</select>

<script>
function check(e){
    if (my_condition){
        event.target.selectedIndex = 0;
    }
}
</script>

Implement custom readonly like eventHandler

<select id='country' data-changeable=false>
  <option selected value="INDIA">India</option>
  <option value="USA">United States</option>
  <option value="UK">United Kingdom</option>
</select>

<script>
    var lastSelected = $("#country option:selected");

    $("#country").on("change", function() {
       if(!$(this).data(changeable)) {
            lastSelected.attr("selected", true);              
       }        
    });

    $("#country").on("click", function() {
       lastSelected = $("#country option:selected");
    });
</script>

This was the ONLY thing that worked for me (on Chrome Version 54.0.2840.27):

$('select').each(function() {
  $(this).data('lastSelectedIndex', this.selectedIndex);
});
$('select').click(function() {
  $(this).data('lastSelectedIndex', this.selectedIndex);
});

$('select[class*="select-with-confirm"]').change(function() {  
  if (!confirm("Do you really want to change?")) {
    this.selectedIndex = $(this).data('lastSelectedIndex');
  }
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<select id='fruits' class="select-with-confirm">
  <option selected value="apples">Apples</option>
  <option value="bananas">Bananas</option>
  <option value="melons">Melons</option>
</select>

<select id='people'>
  <option selected value="john">John</option>
  <option value="jack">Jack</option>
  <option value="jane">Jane</option>
</select>

This worked for me, no need to keep a lastSelected if you know the optionIndex to select.

var optionIndex = ...
$(this)[0].options[optionIndex].selected = true;

$('#my_select').bind('mousedown', function (event) {
         event.preventDefault();
         event.stopImmediatePropagation();
     });
