Iv000 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Does anyone here know much HTML/JavaScript? I've got a problem in this code that I just can't pinpoint! <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function getSelection() { dropdownselect[0] = "Nothing"; dropdownselect[1] = "Maps"; dropdownselect[2] = "Weather"; dropdownselect[3] = "Beach Conditions"; dropdownselect[4] = "Traffic"; list = document.getElementById("select selection"); index = list.selectedIndex; theselection = list.options[index].text; document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "You have chosen " + dropdownselect[index] } </script> </head> <body> <center> <select id="select selection" onchange="getSelection()"> <option selected="selected"> Nothing </option> <option> Maps </option> <option> Weather </option> <option> Beach Conditions </option> <option> Traffic </option> </select> <center> <p id="result"></p> </body> </html> These are the bits that aren't working. What I'm trying to do, is make it so that when I select one of the options in the dropdown menu, it displays the message "You have chosen " + dropdownselect[index] with the variables filled in. Problem is, it doesn't even show up at all. Can anyone help? Or should I start over? I don't know JavaScript but I get the basics, and it looks to me as if you're trying to call something that isn't there. You call dropdownselect[index] when the dropdownselect has no function other than standing there, the indexes aren't assigned to actual options. The "result" doesn't seem to contain any results either. Basically, I think you're trying to call an ID that isn't specified. Also, I believe the function for printing in JavaScript is document.write() :confused: Hmm, yeah I can see how that works. I'll have a go at fixing it tomorrow... so tired. The "result" is fine, you're letting the program know where to send the resulting text. I think your problem is that you just tacked on document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "You have chosen " + dropdownselect[index] without giving it a proper beginning, a function. I searched a bit and the proper way to use this always began with a function. <html> <head> <script> function getValue() { var x=document.getElementById("myHeader"); alert(x.innerHTML); } </script> </head> <body> <h1 id="myHeader" onclick="getValue()">Click me!</h1> </body> </html> See the function at the beginning? document.getElement is usually used within a function afaik. Hope that helped:P I know a bit of HTML CSS and JS, but I'm at the beginning of JS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
