put text to div with dropdown option
I have the following code and its not working. I want to put the selected text to my selected-locations div. Any ideas? Thanks!
<select name='available_locations' class='select-location'>
<option value='Germany'>Germany</option>
<option value='Venice'>Venice</option>
<option value='Spain'>Spain</option>
</select>
<div id='selected-locations'>
</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.select-location').change(function(){
var location = $( this ).attr( 'value' );
alert( location );
//new_text = $('#selected-locations').val() + location;
$('div.selected-开发者_运维问答locations').text( location );
});
});
</script>
You need to read up on css selectors and jQuery selectors
$('div.selected-locations').text( location );
should be
$('div#selected-locations').text( location );
OR
<div id='selected-locations'>
</div>
shoould be
<div class='selected-locations'>
</div>
You can do this
$('.select-location').change(function(){
var location = $('.select-location option:selected').val();
$('div#selected-locations').text(location);
});
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/jasongennaro/F3A62/
A few things needed to change with your code:
- change
$('div.selected-locations')
to$('div#selected-locations')
... period to hash - use the
option:selected
- use the
val()
use
$('#selected-locations').text(location );
You need to use # as selected-locations is a id not a css class.
