How to select value from the combo box / option list?

aspatel80

Hello Team,

I have two combo box / drop down list in my application and I have written following code to select the values in combo box / drop down list.

_setSelected(_select("ctl00\$ContentPlaceHolder1\$uMatterParty\$ddlPartyType"), "Non Legal Party");
_setSelected(_select("ctl00\$ContentPlaceHolder1\$uMatterParty\$ddlRelationshipType"), "Sample Relationship Type");

Here I have mentioned hard coded values in _setSelected() method. Those are "Non Legal Party" and "Sample Relationship Type".

How can I select any value from the list based on the ID of the option rather than passing the hard coded value?

Suppose my list name is List1 whih contains folloing option:

1. Blue
2. Yellow
3. Red

Now if i want to select the option "Yellow" then I have to write following code:

_setSelected(_select("ctl00\$ContentPlaceHolder1\$uMatterParty\$List1"), "Yellow");

But how can I select the same option using the List ID means is it possible to seelct the option in the list based on its displayed order like:

_setSelected(_select("ctl00\$ContentPlaceHolder1\$uMatterParty\$List1"), 2); ----> Here I am pasing '2' as the ID of the "Yellow" option is '2' in the list?

Is it posible?

Is it Possible to select the option from th option list dynamically rather than passing the hard coded value?

Thanks,

Hi,

See if this works:
_setSelected(_select("ctl00\$ContentPlaceHolder1\$uMatterParty\$List1"), _getText(_select("ctl00\$ContentPlaceHolder1\$uMatterParty\$List1").options[1]));
will select option with index 1.

Ashvin,

The current implementation of _setSelected is too basic. I have modified the code for _setSelected to handle identification of options using their ids, or their index. Open sahi/htdocs/spr/concat.js, search for "_setSelected", and replace that function with this code:

Sahi.prototype._setSelected = function (el, val, isMultiple) {
    var l = el.options.length;
    var optionEl = null;
    if (typeof val == "string"){
        for (var i = 0; i < l; i++) {
            if (this.areEqual(el.options[i], "text", val) ||
                this.areEqual(el.options[i], "id", val)) {
                optionEl = el.options[i];
            }
        }
    } else if (typeof val == "number" && el.options.length > val){
        optionEl = el.options[val];
    }
    if (!optionEl) throw new Error("Option not found: " + val);

    for (var i = 0; i < l; i++) {
        if (!isMultiple) el.options[i].selected = false;
    }

    optionEl.selected = true;
    this.simulateEvent(el, "change");
}

If you are not sure, let me know, I can email you a build.

Yes Donna, it will be part of the next build. If you need it urgently, you can pick a nightly build from here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151639&package_id=309861
