Dropdowns and Radio buttons

gte806e

I know this isnt exactly php but im working with php with these soo...

I want to detect an onChange() event using jscript, when the drop down OR radio buttons are changed I want to refresh the page and send their values to the page.

When the page refreshes I want the radio buttons and Dropdowns to show their selected values not revert back to the default. How can I do this?

<tr> 
<td>Ad Catagory</td>
<td><select name="catagory" onChange="window.location='placead.php?catagory='+catagory[selectedIndex].value+'&package='+package.value>
<option value="">Choose One</option>
<option value="boats">Boats</option>
<option value="cars">Cars</option>
<option value="furniture">Furniture</option>
<option value="motorhomes">Motorhome</option>
</select></td>
</tr>

<tr> 
<td><label><input type="radio" name="package" value="bplus">
Basic Plus</label></td>
</tr><tr> 
<td><label>
<input type="radio" name="package" value="premium">
Premium</label></td></tr>

Hope That came across right.. TIA

Try putting

<?php
header("Cache-control: private");
?>

at the beginning of the page. That might help.

suppose that the page have been posted, the form var are in the page, then you only have to use it

<tr> 
<td>Ad Catagory</td>
<td><select name="catagory" onChange="window.location='placead.php?catagory='+catagory[selectedIndex].value+'&package='+package.value>
<option value="">Choose One</option>
<option value="boats" <?if ($catagory == "boats") echo " selected";?>>Boats</option>
<option value="cars"" <?if ($catagory == "cars") echo " selected";?>>Cars</option>
<option value="furniture"" <?if ($catagory == "furniture") echo " selected";?>>Furniture</option>
<option value="motorhomes"" <?if ($catagory == "motorhomes") echo " selected";?>>Motorhome</option>
</select></td>
</tr>

Not sure how to do this, but looking at Gargouil's code, i know it wont work, so here is the correct code
<tr>
<td>Ad Catagory</td>
<td><select name="catagory" onChange="window.location='placead.php?catagory='+catagory[selectedIndex].value+'&package='+package.value>
<option value="">Choose One</option>
<option value="boats" <?if ($catagory == "boats"){ echo " selected"; }?>>Boats</option>
<option value="cars"" <?if ($catagory == "cars"){ echo " selected"; }?>>Cars</option>
<option value="furniture"" <?if ($catagory == "furniture"){ echo " selected";?}>>Furniture</option>
<option value="motorhomes"" <?if ($catagory == "motorhomes"){ echo " selected"; }?>>Motorhome</option>
</select></td>
</tr>

hey volte

why won't Gargouil's code work

Technically both sets of code is incorrect - look at the " in the normal HTML....

Should be:

<tr> 
<td>Ad Catagory</td> 
<td><select name="catagory" onChange="window.location='placead.php?catagory='+catagory[selectedIndex].value+'&package='+package.value> 
<option value="">Choose One</option> 
<option value="boats" <?if ($catagory == "boats"){ echo " selected"; }?>>Boats</option> 
<option value="cars" <?if ($catagory == "cars"){ echo " selected"; }?>>Cars</option> 
<option value="furniture" <?if ($catagory == "furniture"){ echo " selected";?}>>Furniture</option> 
<option value="motorhomes" <?if ($catagory == "motorhomes"){ echo " selected"; }?>>Motorhome</option> 
</select></td> 
</tr>

As to why it wouldn't work in the first place, were you thinking of the {} missing.... ???

Isn't it category anyway ???

stolzyboy

yes i knew about the extra quotes, but i was sure he was talking about the missing {}'s, that are unneeded in this case, if you take a look at my sig you will get it figured out

as long as you only one statement of code after your if, you don't need the {}'s surrounding the block
