I am having issue with the jquery selectbox.. its not working when i statically add "Selected" to a option. it still shows the first value which i don't selected..
Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
I used a jquery select box to change the design and layout of selectbox.
I want:
when i select any value, it will selected in jqueryselectbox which is created dynamically on page upload.
$('.selectdropdown').each(function () {
// Cache the number of options
var $this = $(this),
numberOfOptions = $(this).children('option').length;
// Hides the select element
$this.addClass('s-hidden');
// Wrap the select element in a div
$this.wrap('<div class="select"></div>');
// Insert a styled div to sit over the top of the hidden select element
$this.after('<div class="styledSelect"></div>');
// Cache the styled div
var $styledSelect = $this.next('div.styledSelect');
// Show the first select option in the styled div
$styledSelect.text($this.children('option').eq(0).text());
// Insert an unordered list after the styled div and also cache the list
var $list = $('<ul />', {
'class': 'options'
}).insertAfter($styledSelect);
// Insert a list item into the unordered list for each select option
for (var i = 0; i < numberOfOptions; i++) {
$('<li />', {
text: $this.children('option').eq(i).text(),
rel: $this.children('option').eq(i).val()
}).appendTo($list);
}
// Cache the list items
var $listItems = $list.children('li');
// Show the unordered list when the styled div is clicked (also hides it if the div is clicked again)
$styledSelect.click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$('div.styledSelect.active').each(function () {
$(this).removeClass('active').next('ul.options').hide();
});
$(this).toggleClass('active').next('ul.options').toggle();
});
// Updates the select element to have the value of the equivalent option
$listItems.click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$styledSelect.text($(this).text()).removeClass('active');
$this.val($(this).attr('rel'));
$list.hide();
});
// Hides the unordered list when clicking outside of it
$(document).click(function () {
$styledSelect.removeClass('active');
$list.hide();
});
});
});
HERE IS HTML:
<select name="catColor" id="catColor" class="selectdropdown">
<option value="">---Select Main Category---</option>
<option value="1" selected="">Electronics</option>
<option value="2">Home Video & Theater</option>
<option value="3">Multimedia Players</option>
<option value="4">Computers & Networking</option>
<option value="5">Cables & Adapters</option>
<option value="6">Cables</option>
</select>
