多次下拉 <select>菜单一次只能选择一个

Question

I have 4 <select> drop down menus with corresponding values that interact with the iframe on my website. The issue is that I want to only allow one drop down to be selectable at a time and for the other drop down menus to return to the original value when the website first opened. After researching for solutions I was not able to find any online. Below I will include the code for the drop down menus.

 <script>
    var gST = ""

    function set_st(t) {
       var sel_el = t.options[t.selectedIndex]
       gST = sel_el.value
        document.getElementById('my-iframe').src = 'http://watermonitor.gov/naww/index.php?st=' + gST
    }

    function down_ch() {
        var link = "http://waterwatch.usgs.gov/download/?gt=map&st="+gST+"&ofmt=kmr&x=0";   
        window.open(link)
    }

    function setURL(url){
    document.getElementById('my-iframe').src = url;
    }

  </script>

Answer 1

You can probably achieve this with events. Eg when the first drop down list is opened, then set all of the others to disabled: http://html.com/attributes/select-disabled/

You could do that with jquery like this:

$(ele).attr(disabled, disabled);

For the events, check out this: http://api.jquery.com/category/events/

look up the change event, once the event fires you'll need to set the other drop down lists to the original value eg:

$(ele).val('0');

You may want to update your question with what should happen when the page loads, and then what should happen when you open drop down lists on the page.
