[SOLVED] assign dynamic value to drop down list

Hi all,

I am trying to load the value from one drop down list to another.

I am able to fetch the value from the drop down 3 and couldnt assign to drop down 1. I used the below code.

document.getElementById('combobox1').options[i]value = document.getElementById('combobox3').options[i].value;

I have put the above code in 'for' loop and the index value is substituted for 'i'.

Any suggestions would be greatly helpful.

Thanks,
Ramya

Is that an actual portion of your code? if so, you're missing a dot between options[i] and the "value" property when assigning to combobox1.

It should look like this:

document.getElementById('combobox1').options[i].value = document.getElementById('combobox3').options[i].value;



Now, to avoid querying the DOM unnecessarily you may:

var box1 = document.getElementById('comboxbox1');
var box3 = document.getElementById('comboxbox3');

for (i = 0; i < box3.options.length; i++) {
   box1.options[i].value = box3.options[i].value;
}



I'm sure there is a more efficient way of doing this but this is not a JavaScript forum which is why I dared to give the code above without much embarrassment Wink

Try this -- I don't think njsden's code will work.
 function onInitialUpdate()
{


var box1 = document.getElementById("combobox1");
var box2 = document.getElementById("combobox2");

for (i = 0; i < box1.options.length; i++) {
   var opt = document.createElement("option");
   box2.options.add(opt);
   opt.text = box1.options[i].text;
   opt.value = box1.options[i].value;	
}

}
