I am trying to create a cascading seletct with 3 menu choices.
For some reason my third select menu is not populating. It does not
seem like my ajax is correctly sending $_post values to the final
query in my PHP class I built.
By the time I make it to the final (third) select menu there are no choices.
Hopefully someone can find something I missed in the following code snippits.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Please excuse the incorrect indentions. For some reason gmail changes it.
Thanks,
Chris
ajax code...
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("select#type").attr("disabled","disabled");
$("select#store").attr("disabled","disabled");
$("select#market").change(function(){
$("select#type").attr("disabled","disabled");
$("select#type").html("<option>please wait...</option>");
var id = $("select#market option:selected").attr('value');
$.post("select_type.php", {id:id}, function(data){
$("select#type").removeAttr("disabled");
$("select#type").html(data);
});
});
$("select#type").change(function(){
$("select#store").attr("disabled","disabled");
$("select#store").html("<option>please
wait...</option>");
var id = $("select#type option:selected").attr('value');
$.post("select_store.php", {id:id}, function(data){
$("select#store").removeAttr("disabled");
$("select#store").html(data);
});
});
$("form#select_form").submit(function(){
var market = $("select#market option:selected").attr('value');
var type = $("select#type option:selected").attr('value');
var store = $("select#store
option:selected").attr('value');
if(market>0 && type>0 && store>0)
{
var market = $("select#market option:selected").html();
var type = $("select#type
option:selected").html();
var store = $("select#store
option:selected").html();
$("#result").html('your choices were: '+market +' ,
'+type +' and '+store);
}
else
{
$("#result").html("you must choose three options!");
}
return false;
});
