Question

Have a script to add / remove options from a select field — the “value” of the option I want to remove should be equal to the “class” of the link clicked. I’ve tried several different versions of this script and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to properly get the variable delText into the function to remove it. help pls!

   $('a.del').click(function() {
      var delText = $(this).attr('class');
      window.parent.$("select[name='<?php echo $f; ?>']").remove($("<option></option>").text(delText));
   });

Answer 1

If the value of the element is equal to the class of the link, then do this:

$('a.del').click(function() {
  var delText = $(this).attr('class');
  $('option[value=' + delText + ']').remove();
});

I’m not sure if that actually jives with what you’re trying to do? The <?php ?> bit seems really out of place, and the I’m not sure about the window.parent bit either.
