Select box manipulation with jQuery - update to removeOption

The previous update to this collection of plugins introduced a cache when adding options (i.e. made it much faster if adding a lot of options). However, it was not cleared when remove options (causing possible conflicts). This is now done and an extra parameter has been added to removeOption (of boolean type), that when set to true, will only remove options if it matches any option(s) defined by the first parameter. More details and download from the Select Box Manipulation project page at the jQuery site. A demo is also available.

The demo on the page http://www.texotela.co.uk/code/jquery/select/ has a bug - selecting both options in the second select box (e.g. by clicking and dragging, or CTRL+clicking) results in only one value being displayed in the text below it. I haven't looked into the code to see whether this is a bug with the plugin itself or just with the demo, but either way it's not right. Best regards, MarcusT.

It's the demo itself, as it is updated onchange $("select").change(function(){...}); and it uses selectedIndex to determine what is selected (rather than looping through all of the optionsin the select).

Hi Sam

It's late but I really need to do some select box manipulation on mouseover events, but I just need some html AND jscode together.

I've seen your example page and it looks great and what I need but right now I can't figure out what I need for the html to trigger the events necessary to add and remove fields from the form list.

Would appreciate any hint

You mean add options when you hover over something (e.g. a link?)

This adds a value to a select box when you mouse over any anchors elements in a list. Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe of some help?

HTML:
<ul id="linklist">
<li><a href="http://www.jquery.com">jQuery</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a></li>
</ul>
<select id="mylinks"></select>

JavaScript (in $(document).ready):

$mylinks = $("#mylinks");
$("#linklist a").mouseover(function() {
$mylinks.addOption($(this).text(), this.href);
});

Select box manipulation with jQuery

If you read the jQuery mailing list , you may be aware that I have updated my plugins for working with select boxes . Summary of changes: addOption replaces any options with the same value (so think of it as an add/replace options plugin selectOptions selected options in addition to what was already selected, but there is now an option for it not to do this There are two new methods: copyOptions which is for copying options between select boxes ajaxAddOption allows you to add options via AJAX (i.e. could be used for create options dynamically from a server script)

iTextSharp: Generating a Basic PDF file (ASP.NET/C#)

iTextSharp is free library for .NET that allows you to create PDF documents. It can be used to dynamically create PDF's which can be streamed to the user. As there is no HTML being sent to the user, a WebHandler (ashx file) is a more appropriate way to generate your PDF than an aspx page. Download itextsharp-3.0.10-dll.zip (latest version as of 08 Feb 2006) and save the dll in the archive to your websites bin directory. Here is a basic sample of creating a PDF (more complex samples may follow in future posts). BasicPDF.ashx <%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="MyNamespace.BasicPDF" %> using System; using System.IO; using System.Web; using iTextSharp.text; using iTextSharp.text.pdf; namespace MyNamespace { public class BasicPDF: IHttpHandler { public bool IsReusable { get { return true; } } /// <summary> /// Font used for any hyperlinks added to the PDF /// </summary> private Font LinkFont { get ...

Popup Window Countdown (JavaScript)

This code opens a new popup window that contains a timer that counts down, then closes the window when it reaches 0. Will not work if user has a popup blocker blocking the page. <html> <head> <title>Popup Timer</title> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> // popup window var var popup; // At what number shall the countdown counter start? CounterStart = 10; // This function CustomAction() can be modified to do // whatever you want done every second. function CustomAction() { popup.document.timer.timeleft.value = CounterStart; } // end of function CustomAction() // end of JavaScript customization function Decrement() { CounterStart--; CustomAction(); if(CounterStart <= 0) { popup.close(); alert('Timer reached 0'); } else { setTimeout('Decrement()',1000); } } function StartTheCounter() { openPopup(120,100); setTimeout('Decrement()',1000); } f...
