How to target an option in a select where option's ID changes dynamically using jQuery
Question
Using a CMS, I have created an event page, we can call it the Blueprint as it will be replicated to create child events, and any changes I make in the Blueprint can be pushed down to all child events.
In my Blueprint, I have a survey where a drop down question asks the user to select their division.
Based on which division is selected, the next question filters the list of regions available to that division.
I'm trying to target an <option></option> element where the id is assigned by the system but the id is different for each replicated event.
function showHideTEAM(selectedValue){
if (selectedValue != "NORTH" && selectedValue != "NORD" && selectedValue != "TEAM CANADA") {
$("#1684_53515_8_169135 > option").each(function() {
if($(this).val() == "TEAM CANADA") {
$(this).remove();
}
});
}
if (selectedValue == "TEAM CANADA") {
$("#1684_53515_8_169135 > option").each(function() {
if($(this).val() != "TEAM CANADA") {
$(this).remove();
}
});
}
}
if ($("#1684_53515_7_169134").length > 0) {
$("#1684_53515_7_169134").on("change", function(event) {showHideMELLON($(this).val());});
}
What is intended to happen is
if user selects North (if they're on the English) or Nord (if on French) in the id="1684_53515_7_169134" the next question's filtered drop down ( id="1684_53515_8_169135" ) includes TEAM CANADA to the list. So far...this seems to work, despite replication and id changing and I'm not sure why.
What isn't working is if in id="1684_53515_7_169134" you select TEAM CANADA the next question id="1684_53515_8_169135" should strip all options and only have TEAM CANADA as an option.
I know it doesn't make sense to have TEAM CANADA there twice but its required.
Some additional info, all event pages share a page-wrapper but the event pages are separate from each other. The registration flow (where this survey appears) is also separate between event pages. So why the system generates a new id number per event for the same fields across each event I don't know.
ex:
BLUEPRINT:
<div class="form-content">
<span class="survey-question-number-container">
<span class="field-required"></span>
<span class="field-number survey-question-number">
4.
</span>
</span>
<span class="input-container">
<label for="1684_53515_7_169134">
<span class="aural-only">Field Is Required</span>
<span class="input-label">Select Division</span>
</label>
<span class="ungrouped">
<select name="1684_53515_7_169134" id="1684_53515_7_169134" onchange="choiceSelected('1684_53515_7_169134', this.selectedIndex);">
<option value="NOREPLY">Please select response</option>
<option value="NORTH">NORTH</option>
<option value="EAST">EAST</option>
<option value="WEST">WEST</option>
<option value="SOUTH">SOUTH</option>
<option value="TEAM CANADA">TEAM CANADA</option>
</select>
</span>
</span>
</div>
and then when you select an option, for example, NORTH you get the following list, with Team Canada.
<div class="form-content">
<span class="survey-question-number-container">
<span class="field-required"></span>
<span class="field-number survey-question-number">
5.
</span>
</span>
<span class="input-container">
<label for="1684_53515_8_169135">
<span class="aural-only">Field Is Required</span>
<span class="input-label">Select Team</span>
</label>
<span class="ungrouped">
<select name="1684_53515_8_169135" id="1684_53515_8_169135" onchange="choiceSelected('1684_53515_8_169135', this.selectedIndex);">
<option value="NOREPLY"></option>
<option value="FRIENDS AND FAMILY">FRIENDS AND FAMILY</option>
<option value="THE RETIREES">THE RETIREES</option>
<option value="ADMINISTRATION & ADMINISTERED">ADMINISTRATION & ADMINISTERED</option>
<option value="ADMINISTRATION - OTHER">ADMINISTRATION - OTHER</option>
<option value="CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT GROUP">CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT GROUP</option>
<option value="CORPORATE SECRETARY">CORPORATE SECRETARY</option>
<option value="GLOBAL REG AFF & RISK CONTROLS">GLOBAL REG AFF & RISK CONTROLS</option>
[..another 10 options..]
<option value="TEAM CANADA">TEAM CANADA</option>
</select>
</span>
</span>
</div>
If you were to select TEAM CANADA in the division, what happens is only TEAM CANADA is selectable in the Team List, and all other options get removed.
<div class="form-content">
<span class="survey-question-number-container">
<span class="field-required"></span>
<span class="field-number survey-question-number">

</span>
</span>
<span class="input-container">

<span class="aural-only">Field Is Required</span>
<span class="input-label">Select Team</span>
</label>
<span class="ungrouped">
<select name="1684_53515_8_169135" id="1684_53515_8_169135" onchange="choiceSelected('1684_53515_8_169135', this.selectedIndex);">
<option value="NOREPLY"></option>
<option value="TEAM CANADA">TEAM CANADA</option>
</select>
</span>
</span>
</div>
CHILD EVENT:
<div class="form-content">

<span class="field-number survey-question-number">

</span>
</span>
<span class="input-container">

<span class="input-label">Select Division</span>
</label>
<span class="ungrouped">

<option value="WEST">WEST</option>
<option value="SOUTH">SOUTH</option>
<option value="TEAM CANADA">TEAM CANADA</option>
</select>
</span>
</span>
</div>
notice the id 's have changed, so now when you select TEAM CANADA you SHOULD ONLY have TEAM CANADA in this list but it doesn't work. It shows the full list (at the end of this question).
<div class="form-content">
<span class="survey-question-number-container">
<span class="field-required"></span>
<span class="field-number survey-question-number">

So is there a way to make this work dynamically so I don't have to do an if statement for 58 id 's?
Thank you for your help!

I figured it out.
Found the jQuery [attribute*=value] Selector. use that to find the common number in the id s so
ex
if (selectedValue == "TEAM CANADA") {
$("select[name*='_8_'] > option").each(function() {
if($(this).val().toUpperCase() != "TEAM CANADA") {
$(this).remove();
}
});
}
