I'm using this to pull states or provinces based on whether US or Canada is selected from the first dropdown. No problem, works as advertised. However, if the user submits the form and there are errors, when the page reloads, the states dropdown is not repopulated with the state they selected (assuming they selected one). How do I get that working? I'm using CodeIgniter, fwiw, so I'm using their validation lib to display form errors.

I'm trying to set a default value so the second selection box appears at load rather than requiring user input, but it does not appear to work or I'm doing something wrong! $('#skillid').chainSelect('#subskillid','ajax.url', { before:function (target) //before request hide the target combobox and display the loading message { $("#loading").css("display","block"); $(target).css("display","none"); }, after:function (target) //after request show the target combobox and hide the loading message { $("#loading").css("display","none"); $(target).css("display","inline"); }, defaultValue:14 }); My HTML snippet is as follows Skill A Skill B Any help would be appreciated! http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#144 2008-08-01 09:33:09 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#144 thanks antonio.. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#134 2008-06-24 17:38:07 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#134 I am using the following library's The chainselects works fine on a page by itself, but when I combine with jquery and validate functionality it blows up &function undefined. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#133 2008-06-23 23:38:04 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#133 So.. if you want to get it working on FF,IE6 and IE7 jquery.chainedSelects.js >> Line 36: 36: parameters : { '_id' : $(this).attr('id'), '_name' : $(this).attr('name') }, 37: } , settings); Remove comma at the end: IN THE END IT WILL LOOK LIKE: parameters : { '_id' : $(this).attr('id'), '_name' : $(this).attr('name') } 37: } , settings); AND CHANGE line 53 TO: $(target).get(0).add(new Option(data[i][key],[key]), document.all ? i : null); it works :) http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#131 2008-06-17 06:24:15 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#131 How would you load the 2 dropdown with data when page is loaded http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#128 2008-06-12 02:17:06 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#128 Same error as Derrick described - unexpected ';' in line 49 in jquery.chainSelect.js Array in PHP looks like $array = array('1'=>'22','2'=>'222','3'=>'444','5'=>'666','7'=>'88888'); http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#127 2008-06-08 12:30:51 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#127 Nevermind, figured out what was going on. It was the way I was building the array. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#124 2008-05-28 11:07:38 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#124 I'm reading a directory of .mp3 files to create my second select list, but when I run the script I get this: Error: invalid label Source File: http://[mydomain].com/jquery.chainedSelects.js Line: 48, Column: 4 Source Code: {"0":["No Track"],"1":{"1":"23-29 Tick Tock Blues.mp3"},"2" ..... -----^ I can't for the life of me figure out why json_encode($array) would place square brackets around the first item, and curly brackets around the rest. Thoughts? http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#123 2008-05-22 19:32:27 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#123 Hi I have a JSP page which has 6 combo boxes.When i select a value in the first combo the other 5 will filter with values which is done using AJAX. Now the problem is if the value i selected in the first combo has a size say 50 the screen looks very bad with scroll bars on both sides....All the combos size varies according to the value selected in first one.... Can anyone give an idea to have all the combo boxes sizes fixed irrespective of how the AJAX fires. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#112 2008-05-20 08:13:34 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#112 As soon as I try loop one of these: $array[] = array('1' => 'New York'); with something like: foreach($count=1; $count=3; $count++) { $array[] = array($count => '$count'); } I get this firebug error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in F:\server2\Apache Group\... line 49 in jquery.chainSelect.js http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#108 2008-05-03 18:41:06 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#108 To make it work on IE: jquery.chainedSelects.js >> Line 36: 36: parameters : { '_id' : $(this).attr('id'), '_name' : $(this).attr('name') }, 37: } , settings); Remove comma at the end: parameters : { '_id' : $(this).attr('id'), '_name' : $(this).attr('name') } 37: } , settings); http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#107 2008-05-01 14:21:24 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#107 Doesn't work for me in IE 7. With $(target).get(0).add(new Option(data[i][key],[key]), document.all ? i : null); i get "object does not accept this property or method." on line $('#country').chainSelect('#state','/examples/jquerycombo/combobox.php', http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#106 2008-05-01 14:23:33 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#106 Thanks Remy. The following tweak of your code works for me in FF, IE7, IE6 & Saf3: $(target).get(0).add(new Option(data[i][key],[key]), document.all ? i : null); http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#102 2008-04-23 03:28:00 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#102 No! Its not working in IE! http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#98 2008-04-16 11:10:34 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#98 Remy: Works here in ie 7 (thanks!). In ie 6, almost: the first select triggers ok, but when you click the 2nd or 3rd select you get a "object does not accept this property or method" (translation from spanish, so may be innacurate. The error is referring to a jquery method, not this script. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#97 2008-05-01 14:22:23 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#97 Ok, I have been following this and have had a couple of issues, I stripped down my production environment to the bare essentials and ran my scripts in FF and IE7. I had no problems with FF and Firebug helped immensely. IE would not play ball, even though I had tried glenn's code (which incidentally precludes FF). I have been doing a bit of digging around and looked at other jQuery options for modifying the select list. The following line has been verified on IE7 and Firefox 2 and I have used it in place of Glenn's solution. I would be interested to hear how this works in IE6. $(target).get(0).add(new Option(data[i][key],[key]),document.all ? 0 : null); This was found via an article on Dr Dobb's Journal (http://www.ddj.com/java/201000935?pgno=4) Kudos to the author! http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#96 2008-05-01 14:21:24 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#96 Doesn't work for me in IE 7. With $(target).append(""+data[i][key]+""); and stuff I only get empty selects tags... http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#94 2008-05-01 14:22:23 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#94 When I try using this I get a page error: expected ";" I know my JSON is well formed and have even tried to force a semi-colon in just to see and the results are the same. I also can't get the demo to work? I don't see a script error but the effect is the same, select an option and the other select boxes are made visible but with no members? I have tried IE7/Firefox. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#93 2008-05-01 14:22:23 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#93 IE6 fixed but IE7 problem continue :( http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#92 2008-04-09 08:52:47 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#92 It seems my previous posting didn't correctly arrive: This is the line you need to use to get results in IE: $(target).append(""+data[i][key]+"");
Replace all in the inner for loop with this line. Btw, I really like this implementation, the size of the plugin is also heaven and I'm a big fan of php/jquery combo. This was right up my alley and it's being used in a production site as wel speak. Thanks codeassembly. If you need some help with finetuning this let me know. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#89 2008-03-21 13:46:36 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#89 Hi, For those who have trouble getting this in IE6 to work: replace: //option = document.createElement("OPTION");//create a new option //option.value = key;//set option value //option.text = data[i][key]; //$(target).append(option); //insert the option into the select With : //insert the option into the select $(target).append(""+data[i][key]+""); There is something up with passing the .text attribute to the way it's constructed here. for some reason it does't work in IE and I cant be bothered to find out how to access the dom there. I could tell in FF that it was working. For any cache issues perhaps you could also change the parameter line to this one: parameters = { '_id' : $(this).attr('id'), '_name' : $(this).attr('name'), '_value' : $(this).val() , 'rrand' : Math.random() }; As such it will not cache the request as some IE's don't even listen to the ajax global options. Hope this helps some people here. Glenn http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#88 2008-03-21 13:42:16 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#88 "json_encode" this below : http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#81 2008-03-21 14:02:43 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#81 Hi again, I have changed the following plugin script line: $(target).append(option);//insert the option into the select with this other one $(target).append(''+data[i][key]+'');//insert the option into the select and now the script works also in IE. I hope this help somebody ;) http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#75 2008-03-21 14:02:43 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#75 Hi, congratulations for your script, is very usefull. But i didn't get it work under IExplorer, just in Firefox. I'm trying to make it work under IE, if someone have already done it please let me know. Thanks. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#74 2008-03-21 14:02:43 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#74 Sorry, I see that json_encode is PHP 5 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#73 2008-02-25 12:04:44 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#73 I've installed the plugin, but get the following error: Call to undefined function: json_encode() I'd like to get this working. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#72 2008-03-21 14:02:43 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#72 I'm glad you liked it. I updated the example, it now displays a "Loading ..." div while fetching data. You can replace the div with a spinner gif. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#69 2008-02-12 13:14:04 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#69 Hi! Im a jquery newbie, but i test your plugin and is an easy and perfect piece of art. Great work! I was wondering how can i add a spinner gif while the data is obtained for the new select? Thanks in advance. http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#68 2008-02-09 17:57:51 http://codeassembly.com/Simple-chained-combobox-plugin-for-jQuery/#68
