I have following HTML Code for Select tag:
<select name="myList" id="myQues" defaultvalue="">
<option value="" selected="">Select Your Option</option>
<option value="BestFriendName">Your Best friends Name</option>
<option value="MothersName">Mothers Name</option>
</select>
problem is, it never selects my option which I have marked as selected. It shows Your Best friends Name option as selected instead of Select Your Option. This works fine in Chrome. What could be the possible reason? Is it something to do with select = "selected" vs select = "" otherwise I do not see anything wrong with my code.
EDIT
My HTML tag has xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
Try it like this:
<select name="myList" id="myQues" defaultvalue="">
<option value="" selected>Select Your Option</option>
<option value="BestFriendName ">Your Best friends Name</option>
<option value="MothersName">Mothers Name</option>
</select>
Add selected attribute (tested in IE 11):
<select name="myList" id="myQues" defaultvalue="">
<option value="" selected="" selected>Select Your Option</option>
<option value="BestFriendName">Your Best friends Name</option>
<option value="MothersName">Mothers Name</option>
</select>

I am trying to hide the placeholder text in a dropdown menu from showing up as a selectable option. I have searched other options on stack overflow and tried the following solution but none have worked:
<option style="display:none" >Select Stop</option>
<option value="" disabled selected hidden >Select Stop</option>
<option value="" disabled selected style="display: none;">Select Stop</option>
My code looks like this which WORKS in stackoverflow but not when I put it into my site using latest version of chrome...
<select>
<option value="" disabled selected hidden>Select Stop</option>
<option value="home">home</option>
<option value="school">school</option>
<option value="office">office</option>
</select>
Not sure what are you actually trying achieve, to hide the select or option simply add disabled to them, see below, i have 2 select, one with option disbaled other one the entire select disabled
<select>
<option value="">Select Stop</option>
<option value="home" >home</option>
<option value="school" disabled>school</option>
<option value="office" >office</option>
</select>
<select disabled>
<option value="" >Select Stop</option>
<option value="home" >home</option>
<option value="school" >school</option>
<option value="office" >office</option>
</select>
Maybe you might want to add some JQuery into your file
$(function() {
$('.location').find('option:contains(office)').hide();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select class='location'>
<option value="select stop">Select Stop</option>
<option value="home">home</option>
<option value="school">school</option>
<option value="office">office</option>
</select>
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 dropdown menu and I want the placeholder text to read 'Position'
<select id="playingPosition" value="Position">
<option value="goalkeeper">Goalkeeper</option>
<option value="defender">Defender</option>
<option value="midfielder">Midfielder</option>
<option value="striker">Striker</option>
</select>
When the page loads, 'Goalkeeper' will be displayed before any user input. I have tried to rename this to 'Position' using the value attribute.
http://jsfiddle.net/bHJM2/
You can do something like this:
<option value="" disabled selected>Select your option</option>
This becomes:
<select name="playingPosition" id="playingPosition" value="Position">
<option value="" disabled selected>Select your option</option>
<option value="goalkeeper">Goalkeeper</option>
<option value="defender">Defender</option>
<option value="midfielder">Midfielder</option>
<option value="striker">Striker</option>
</select>
Looks like:
And we're done.
Set the selected attribute on the option element you want to select like this:
<option value="defender" selected>Defender</option>
I am new to HTML and PHP and want to achieve a drop-down menu from the mysql table and hard-coded too. I have multiple select in my page, One of them is
<select name="tagging">
<option value="">Choose Tagging</option>
<option value="Option A">Option A</option>
<option value="Option B">Option B</option>
<option value="Option C">Option C</option>
</select>
Problem is now that user can also select "Choose Tagging" as his tagging but i only want to provide him to chose from available three. I used disable as
<select name="tagging">
<option value="" disabled="disabled">Choose Tagging</option>
<option value="Option A">Option A</option>
<option value="Option B">Option B</option>
<option value="Option C">Option C</option>
</select>
But now "Option A" became the default one. So i want to set "Choose Tagging" as by default and also want to disable it from selection. Is it a way to do this. Same thing need to be done with other select which will fetch data from Mysql. Any suggestion will be appreciable.
use
<option selected="true" disabled="disabled">Choose Tagging</option>
Use hidden.
<select>
<option hidden>Choose</option>
<option>Item 1</option>
<option>Item 2</option>
</select>
This doesn't unset it but you can however hide it in the options while it's displayed by default.
In HTML5, to select a disabled option:
<option selected disabled>Choose Tagging</option>
Electron + React.
Let your two first options look like this.
<option hidden="true">Choose Tagging</option>
<option disabled="disabled" default="true">Choose Tagging</option>
First to display when closed.
Second to display first when the list opens.
I know you ask how to disable the option, but I figure the end users visual outcome is the same with this solution, although it is probably marginally less resource demanding.
Use the optgroup tag, like so :
<select name="tagging">
<optgroup label="Choose Tagging">
<option value="Option A">Option A</option>
<option value="Option B">Option B</option>
<option value="Option C">Option C</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
Another SELECT tag solution for those who want to keep first option blank.
<label>Unreal :</label>
<select name="unreal">
<option style="display:none"></option>
<option>Money</option>
<option>Country</option>
<option>God</option>
</select>
<select name="dept" id="dept">
<option value =''disabled selected>Select Department</option>
<option value="Computer">Computer</option>
<option value="electronics">Electronics</option>
<option value="aidt">AIDT</option>
<option value="civil">Civil</option>
</select>
use "SELECTED" which option you want to select by defult.
thanks
selected disabled="true"
Use this. It will work in new browsers
we can disable using this technique.
<select class="form-control" name="option_select">
<option selected="true" disabled="disabled">Select option </option>
<option value="Option A">Option A</option>
<option value="Option B">Option B</option>
<option value="Option C">Option C</option>
</select>
If you are using jQuery to fill your select element, you can use this:
html
<select id="tagging"></select>
js
array_of_options = ['Choose Tagging', 'Option A', 'Option B', 'Option C']
$.each(array_of_options, function(i, item) {
if(i==0) { sel_op = 'selected'; dis_op = 'disabled'; } else { sel_op = ''; dis_op = ''; }
$('<option ' + sel_op + ' ' + dis_op + '/>').val(item).html(item).appendTo('#tagging');
})
This will allow the user to see the first option as a disabled heading ('Choose Tagging'), and select all other options.
this should help....:)
<label for="cars">Choose a car:</label>
<select name="cars" id="cars">
<option value=""selected="true" disabled="disabled"> Select</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="opel">Opel</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
This will hide the option for you this easier that to make a other dropdown box
<option selected="true" disabled="disabled">Choose Tagging</option>
You can set which option is selected by default like this:
<option value="" selected>Choose Tagging</option>
I would suggest using javascript and JQuery to observe for click event and disable the first option after another has been selected:
First, give the element an ID like so:
<select id="option_select" name="tagging">
and the option an id :
<option value="" id="initial">Choose Tagging</option>
then:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('option_select').observe(click, handleClickFunction);
Then you just create the function:
function handleClickFunction () {
if ($('option_select').value !== "option_select")
{
$('initial').disabled=true; }
}
I want to have a drop down list using the select, option tag... but when it first appear I want it to have an information, such as "Please select a name" then the user clicks on the drop down list and selects from the available option... I tried to made the "Please select a name" as an option, but then the user will be able to select this... which is not what I want. Do I need to use javascript to have this feature or what do I need to do?
If there'a jquery way to do this, this would be much helpful
Try this:
<select>
<option value="" disabled="disabled" selected="selected">Please select a name</option>
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
</select>
When the page loads, this option will be selected by default. However, as soon as the drop-down is clicked, the user won't be able to re-select this option.
<select>
<option value="" style="display:none">Choose one provider</option>
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
</select>
This way the user cannot see this option, but it shows in the select box.
Have <option value="">- Please select a name -</option> as the first option and use JavaScript (and backend validation) to ensure the user has selected something other than an empty value.
This is an old post, but this worked for me
<select>
<option value="" disabled selected>Please select a name...</option>
<option>this</option>
<option>that</option>
</select>
<select name="test">
<option hidden="true">Please select a name</option>
<option value="Cash">Cash</option>
<option value="Draft">Demand Draft No.</option>
<option value="Cheque">Cheque No.</option>
</select>
Maybe this can help you resolve without JavaScript
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/option.html
See DISABLE option
Simple, I suppose. The onclick attribute works nicely...
<select onchange="if(this.value == '') this.selectedIndex = 1; ">
<option value="">Select an Option</option>
<option value="one">Option 1</option>
<option value="two">Option 2</option>
</select>
After a different option is selected, if the first option is selected, Option 1 will be selected. If you want an explanation on the javascript, just ask.
<select>
<option value="" disabled="disabled" selected="selected">Please select name</option>
<option value="Tom">Tom</option>
<option value="Marry">Marry</option>
<option value="Jane">Jane</option>
<option value="Harry">Harry</option>
</select>
If you want to achieve the same for the jquery-ui selectmenu control then you have to set 'display: none' in the open event handler and add '-menu' to the id string.
<select id="myid">
<option value="" disabled="disabled" selected="selected">Please select name</option>
<option value="Tom">Tom</option>
<option value="Marry">Mary</option>
<option value="Jane">Jane</option>
<option value="Harry">Harry</option>
</select>
$('select#listsTypeSelect').selectmenu({
change: function( event, data ) {
alert($(this).val());
},
open: function( event, ui ) {
$('ul#myid-menu li:first-child').css('display', 'none');
}
});
I'm sorry to necro an old post - but I found a better way of doing this
What I believe this poster wanted was :
<label for="mydropdown" datalabel="mydropdown">Country:</label>
<select name="mydropdown">
<option value="United States">United States</option>
<option value="Canada">Canada</option>
<option value="Mexico">Mexico</option>
<option value="Other">Not Listed</option>
</select>
I found this information in another post while searching for this same answer - Thanks
<select>
<option value="" disabled selected hidden>Select an Option</option>
<option value="one">Option 1</option>
<option value="two">Option 2</option>
</select>
Make a JavaScript control that before the submit cheek that the selected option is different to your first option
This is how I do this with JQuery...
using the jquery-watermark plugin (http://code.google.com/p/jquery-watermark/)
$('#inputId').watermark('Please select a name');
works like a charm!!
There is some good documentation at that google code site.
Hope this helps!
<select>
<option value="" disabled="disabled" selected="selected">Please select a
developer position</option>
<option value="1">Beginner</option>
<option value="2">Expert</option>
</select>
From what I understand, you are looking for a placeholder for your select options, which has to be selected when no value is pre-selected, and cannot be selected by user, or seen.
<select name="selectOne">
<option value="" disabled selected hidden>Choose an option</option>
<option value="this">This</option>
<option value="that">That</option>
</select>
