I am not sure if the title of my question is meaningful enough, so here is my problem : I have a dropdown dynamically generated from server side as below:
sb.append("<SELECT NAME='selectedQAStatuses' id='selectedReleaseQAStatuses' onchange='javascript:changeReleaseQAStatus(\""+releaseId+"\",\""+depEventSeq+"\",this);' >");
sb.append("<OPTION>Please select a QA status...</OPTION>");
for (String status : statusArray) {
if(status.equals(releaseStatus))
sb.append("<OPTION VALUE='"+status+"' selected>"+status+"</OPTION>");
else
sb.append("<OPTION VALUE='"+status+"'>"+status+"</OPTION>");
}
Now javascript : changeReleaseQAStatus() is getting called. In this javascript method I am calling a confirm() to see if user is sure or not. If user selects "OK" in the confirm popup then from the "IF" block i make a Ajax call etc., but if user selects "Cancel" in the confirm popup, then from the "ELSE" block I return from the JS method.
However, in "Cancel" scenario i see that although the user seems to have "Cancelled" his selection, still on the browser screen the dropdown seems to show the new option as "selected". Therefore I think, in Javascript's "ELSE" block i should write something which should revert the selection to the original selection. How am I supposed to 'remember' what was the original value of the dropdown when the page had rendered on the browser, so that I can user this initial value in my 'ELSE' block to restore my dropdown.
My Javascript to handle 'OK' and 'CANCEL':
function changeReleaseQAStatus(releaseSeq, depEventSeq, element1){
var selectedIndex = element1.selectedIndex;
var selectedStatus = element1.options[selectedIndex].value;
if (confirm("Do you want to change Release QA status to \"" + selectedStatus + "\" ?")){
url = contextPath + "/changeQAStatusOfRelease.action?selectedStatus="+selectedStatus+"&releaseSeq="+releaseSeq+"&depEventSeq="+depEventSeq;
ajaxUpdate({url:url,
elementId:'compReleasesDtlsDiv',
});
}else{
/// No Code needed to execute here...
}
}
by using javascript you can use something like this
var arr = document.getElementsById('select_id');
alert(arr[0].options[arr[0].selectedIndex].value);
