I have installed a dropdown menu (in a php site) that makes use of Ajax functionality to populate the dropdown list.
It functions correctly in Chrome and Firefox, and NOT Safari.
In Safari it works;
The form code reads;
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.sel_field').focus(function(){
$.ajax({
url: 'GetClient.php',
type: 'post',
dataType: 'json',
success:function(response){
var len = response.length;
$('#sel_user').empty();
for( var i = 0; i<len; i++){
var id = response[i]['id'];
var name2 = response[i]['username'];
var name = response[i]['name'];
var mat = response[i]['Matter'];
$('#sel_user').append('<option value='+id+'> ClientID: '+id+' - Name: '+name+' : '+mat+'</option>');
}
}
});
});
});
<tr>
<td>
Client ID <span style='font-size:10px'>(Press tab to enter)</span>
</td>
<td>
<select name='clientID' style='width:460px' class='form-control sel_field' id='sel_user' >
<option value='0'> - Make A Selection -</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
To start with you might try putting some quotes around the id you use for the value in the append line.
$('#sel_user').append('<option value="'+id+'"> ClientID: '+id+' - Name: '+name+' : '+mat+'</option>');
Not having that value quoted may confuse the Safari browser.
I would also change the echo at the bottom of your page for the table to this. I find using single quotes for echoing html output to be more intuitive and allows you to use double quotes for the tag attributes.
echo
'<tr>
<td>
Client ID <span style="font-size:10px">(Press tab to enter)</span>
</td>
<td>
<select name="clientID" style="width:460px" class="form-control sel_field" id="sel_user" >
<option value="0"> - Make A Selection -</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>';
You can try this instead:
$('.sel_field').on("keyup click", function(){
You may wanna set a loaded flag so you know your options are already loaded and should not be loaded again.
Updated JS Code:
var options_loaded = false;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.sel_field').on("keyup click", function(){
if(options_loaded == true) return;
$.ajax({
url: 'GetClient.php',
type: 'post',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(response) {
var len = response.length;
$('#sel_user').empty();
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
var id = response[i]['id'];
var name2 = response[i]['username'];
var name = response[i]['name'];
var mat = response[i]['Matter'];
$('#sel_user').append('<option value=' + id + '> ClientID: ' + id + ' - Name: ' + name + ' : ' + mat + '</option>');
}
options_loaded = true;
}
});
});
});
