Drop Down List Item to label

Question

I have code below for a contact form I have created. Is it possible to get the selected value from both drop down lists to the labels on the preview page beside both the "Location" and "Category" fields? Anything helps, thanks.

  function openNav() { document.getElementById("myNav").classList.remove("collapsed"); var input = document.getElementById("txtDetail"); var value = input.value; var label = document.getElementById("labelDetail"); label.innerHTML = value; var input = document.getElementById("txtName"); var value = input.value; var label = document.getElementById("labelName"); label.innerHTML = value; var input = document.getElementById("txtNumber"); var value = input.value; var label = document.getElementById("labelNumber"); label.innerHTML = value; var input = document.getElementById("txtEmail"); var value = input.value; var label = document.getElementById("labelEmail"); label.innerHTML = value; document.getElementById("myNav").style.width = "100%"; } function closeNav() { document.getElementById("myNav").style.width = "0%"; document.getElementById("myNav").classList.add("collapsed"); } document.getElementById('file-upload').onchange = uploadOnChange; function uploadOnChange() { var filename = this.value; var lastIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("\\\\"); if (lastIndex >= 0) { filename = filename.substring(lastIndex + 1); } document.getElementById('filename').innerText = filename; var labelFile = this.value; var lastIndex = labelFile.lastIndexOf("\\\\"); if (lastIndex >= 0) { labelFile = labelFile.substring(lastIndex + 1); } document.getElementById('labelFile').innerText = labelFile; } var div = document.getElementsByClassName('dropdown-content'); for(var i =0;i<div.length;i++){ for(var j =0;j<div[i].children.length;j++){ div[i].children[j].addEventListener('click',function(){ this.parentNode.previousElementSibling.innerHTML = this.innerHTML; }) } }

As you have it configured you could add an ID to your dropdowns and pass the data using innerHTML. Check it, I think It was what you requested. I have just add the ID I said and what follows to your openNav() function:

document.getElementById("labelLocation").innerHTML = 
      document.getElementById("my-category").innerHTML;

document.getElementById("labelCategory").innerHTML = 
      document.getElementById("my-location").innerHTML;

 function openNav() { document.getElementById("labelLocation").innerHTML = document.getElementById("my-category").innerHTML; document.getElementById("labelCategory").innerHTML = document.getElementById("my-location").innerHTML; document.getElementById("myNav").classList.remove("collapsed"); var input = document.getElementById("txtDetail"); var value = input.value; var label = document.getElementById("labelDetail"); label.innerHTML = value; var input = document.getElementById("txtName"); var value = input.value; var label = document.getElementById("labelName"); label.innerHTML = value; var input = document.getElementById("txtNumber"); var value = input.value; var label = document.getElementById("labelNumber"); label.innerHTML = value; var input = document.getElementById("txtEmail"); var value = input.value; var label = document.getElementById("labelEmail"); label.innerHTML = value; document.getElementById("myNav").style.width = "100%"; } function closeNav() { document.getElementById("myNav").style.width = "0%"; document.getElementById("myNav").classList.add("collapsed"); } document.getElementById('file-upload').onchange = uploadOnChange; function uploadOnChange() { var filename = this.value; var lastIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("\\\\"); if (lastIndex >= 0) { filename = filename.substring(lastIndex + 1); } document.getElementById('filename').innerText = filename; var labelFile = this.value; var lastIndex = labelFile.lastIndexOf("\\\\"); if (lastIndex >= 0) { labelFile = labelFile.substring(lastIndex + 1); } document.getElementById('labelFile').innerText = labelFile; } var div = document.getElementsByClassName('dropdown-content'); for(var i =0;i<div.length;i++){ for(var j =0;j<div[i].children.length;j++){ div[i].children[j].addEventListener('click',function(){ this.parentNode.previousElementSibling.innerHTML = this.innerHTML; }) } }
