I must have missed something very trivial, but I cant figure it out.
The select below shows 5 options (as expected), but I cant get access to option 6 and 7. The scrollbar is shown, but the browser doesnt allow me to move it down
<select size='5' multiple name='driver[]'>
<option value= >(No Driver Filter)</option>
<option value=drivername=''></option>
<option value=drivername='alex'>alex</option>
<option value=drivername='marc'>marc</option>
<option value=drivername='frank'>frank</option>
<option value=drivername='james'>james</option>
<option value=drivername='michael'>michael</option>
</select>
I think your code is not well formatted . You should use double quotes for attribute values.
<select size="5" multiple="multiple" name="driver[]">
<option value="" >(No Driver Filter)</option>
<option value="drivername=''"></option>
<option value="drivername='alex'">alex</option>
<option value="drivername='marc'">marc</option>
<option value="drivername='frank'">frank</option>
<option value="drivername='james'">james</option>
<option value="drivername='michael'">michael</option>
</select>
I have a select with values like van, economy, economy-citroen. I select the van option and it displays the vans, however I would like to make an option that calls the van and economy values at the same time (not the multiple select version).
Something like value="economy van".
<select id="car_type" class="car_type span12">
<option value="-1" selected="selected">Any</option>
<option value="economy">Economy</option>
<option value="economy-citroen">Economy</option>
<option value="premium">Premium</option>
<option value="standard">Standard</option>
<option value="van">Van</option>
</select>
I would like to make it like:
<select id="car_type" class="car_type span12">
<option value="-1" selected="selected">Any</option>
<option value="economy">Economy</option>
<option value="economy-citroen">Economy</option>
<option value="premium">Premium</option>
<option value="standard">Standard</option>
<option value="van">Van</option>
<option value="van economy">Economy Van</option> ---so it displays both the economy and vans
</select>
Use this
<select multiple>
<!-- options here -->
</select>
Using this, you'll be able to select multiple options for that select element.
To read more on the HTML element select please refer the Mozilla Developer Network's document
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select
Add the multiple attribute to the select element.
How would I go about setting a title in select tag? Here is my select box:
<select>
<option value="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
When I visit the site, by default it shows "Sydney". But I want to display a title, such as, "What is the name of your city?"
<select>
<option selected disabled>Choose one</option>
<option value="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
Using selected and disabled will make "Choose one" be the default selected value, but also make it impossible for the user to actually select the item, like so:
<select>
<optgroup label = "Choose One">
<option value ="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value ="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
You can combine it with selected and hidden
<select class="dropdown" style="width: 150px; height: 26px">
<option selected hidden>What is your name?</option>
<option value="michel">Michel</option>
<option value="thiago">Thiago</option>
<option value="Jonson">Jonson</option>
</select>
Your dropdown title will be selected and cannot chose by the user.
You can use the following
<select data-hai="whatup">
<option label="Select your city">Select your city</option>
<option value="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
I think that this would help:
<select name="select_1">
<optgroup label="First optgroup category">
<option selected="selected" value="0">Select element</option>
<option value="2">Option 1</option>
<option value="3">Option 2</option>
<option value="4">Option 3</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Second optgroup category">
<option value="5">Option 4</option>
<option value="6">Option 5</option>
<option value="7">Option 6</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
<option value="" selected style="display:none">Please select one item</option>
Using selected and using display: none; for hidden item in list.
You can add an option tag on top of the others with no value and a prompt like this:
<select>
<option value="">Choose One</option>
<option value ="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value ="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
Or leave it blank instead of saying Choose one if you want.
Typically, I would suggest that you use the <optgroup> option, as that gives some nice styling and indenting to the element.
The HTML element creates a grouping of options within a element. (Source: MDN Web Docs: <optgroup>.
But, since an <optgroup> cannot be a selected value, you can make an <option selected disabled> and then stylize it with CSS so that it behaves like an <optgroup>....
.optionGroup {
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}
<select>
<option class="optionGroup" selected disabled>Choose one</option>
<option value="sydney" class="optionChild"> Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne" class="optionChild"> Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell" class="optionChild"> Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown" class="optionChild"> Queenstown</option>
</select>
With a default option having selected attribute
<select>
<option value="" selected>Choose your city</option>
<option value ="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value ="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
The first option's text will always display as default title.
<select>
<option value ="">What is the name of your city?</option>
<option value ="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value ="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
You can create dropdown title | label with selected, hidden and style for old or unsupported device.
<select name="city" >
<option selected hidden style="display:none">What is your city</option>
<option value="1">Sydney</option>
<option value="2">Melbourne</option>
<option value="3">Cromwell</option>
<option value="4">Queenstown</option>
</select>
I added a <div> and it worked fine
<div title="Your title here!">
<select>
<option value="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
</div>
<select name="city">
<option value ="0">What is your city</option>
<option value ="1">Sydney</option>
<option value ="2">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="3">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="4">Queenstown</option>
</select>
You can use the unique id for the value instead
In an HTML select element, is it possible to have the second option selected by default?
<select class="styled" onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="9u.html">Team 9u</option>
<option value="10u.html">Team 10u</option>
<option value="11u.html">Team 11u</option>
<option value="12u.html">Team 12u</option>
<option value="13u.html">Team 13u</option>
<option value="14u.html">Team 14u</option>
<option value="15u.html">Team 15u</option>
<option value="16u.html">Team 16u</option>
</select>
I would like the value "10u" to be in the select box when I load the page.
Use the selected attribute. Is google down?
<option value="10u.html" selected>Team 10u</option>
How can I add option group in HTML select tag?
I want to categories my option list with option group....how can I use it?
Here is an example
<select>
<!-- First category option -->
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<!-- Second catgory option -->
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
By using the optgroup tag. Here is an example:
<select name="browser">
<optgroup label="Firefox">
<option value="2.0 or higher">
Firefox 2.0 or higher
</option>
<option value="1.5.x">Firefox 1.5.x</option>
<option value="1.0.x">Firefox 1.0.x</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Microsoft Internet Explorer">
<option value="7.0 or higher">
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher
</option>
<option value="6.x">Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x</option>
<option value="5.x">Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x</option>
<option value="4.x">Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Opera">
<option value="9.0 or higher">Opera 9.0 or higher</option>
<option value="8.x">Opera 8.x</option>
<option value="7.x">Opera 7.x</option>
</optgroup>
<option>Safari</option>
<option>Other</option>
</select>
hope it helps.
You are looking for the <optgroup> tag in which you should nest your options.
Optgroup is what you are looking for.
Use select option in optgroup as discuss above.
But I will show how to group select in Angular in *ngFor loop
<select class="form-control">
<option value=null disabled selected>Select</option>
<optgroup label="Active">
<option *ngFor="let type of userInformationTypes" [value]="type.value">{{type.text}}</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Inactive">
<option *ngFor="let type of inActiveUserInformation" [value]="type.value">{{type.text}}</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
