html-select

I want to be able to set the default/selected value of a select element using the JQuery Select2 plugin. One more way - just add a selected = "selected" attribute to the select markup and call select2 on it. It must take your selected value. No need for extra JavaScript. Like this : Markup <select class="select2"> <option id="foo">Some Text</option> <option id="bar" selected="selected">Other Text</option> </select> JavaScript $('select').select2(); //oh yes just this! See fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/6hZFU/ Edit: (Thanks, Jay Haase!) If this doesn't work, try setting the val property of

I have a set of selects that all have the same options. Then I run those options through a filter so that any options that are selected in a different select don't show up in the select. See this jsFiddle (in non-IE browser) to see what I mean. Basically I'm preventing the same option from being selected multiple times among the selects Now, what I've done has an issue in IE. Open that fiddle in IE (I've only tried it in IE9, but I'm guessing previous versions have the same issue). Change the last select to AAA. Notice how the 3 other selects all changed what they display. The model for them

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>

I've searched around a lot and see people suggesting that: ::-moz-selection {background: red;} ::selection {background: red; } ..works for colouring the background of the currently selected items in a multiple select form item. (Note: I mean the selected items, not the items with focus). I can't get this to work. Am I doing it wrong? #dropdowns select::selection { background: red; } Cheers :/ Setup: Using Chrome for Mac Instead of only setting a background-color you can also set a linear-gradient as background: option:checked { background: red linear-gradient(0deg, red 0%, red 100%); } This

Is it possible (using HTML only) to display select with option s that span multiple lines each? It is not possible using html select control. You can use a div that can act as a dropdown list using JavaScript and css. not only is it not possible on standard html, but it would then (as an object) become incompatible with the way IOS devices handle the option tag , which is to display a scroll list so it is not even reasonable to want the option tag to behave that way as it would break cross-device compatibility badly and unexpectedly. as others have answered (i dont have enough reputation to

My problem is HTML and CSS related. I have a hierarchy type structure that I want to display inside a list. The hierarchy contains Countries, States and Cities (it is three levels deep). I want to display the list inside a select list, each item type (Country, State, City) must be selectable. The items should appear indented as: United States - Hawaii -- Kauai - Washington -- Seattle -- Chelan The problem is with the indentation. I am trying to use either margin-left or padding-left to indent the tags, which appear correct in FireFox but not in IE7. This is an example of the generated select
