Question

i have two text type forms(id,name) and another form dropbox type(school name)(select option type).

when user enters the id form, the remaining form (name) and the drop box(school name) needs to be filled based on the values in mysql.

filling form text type (name) is not a problem which i am able to do using json and jquery ,but i do not know how to auto select the dropbox.

any tutorials or code snippets suggestions are appreciated.

Answer 1

if your drop box is in xhtml, you can use the “selected” param.

with jquery, you could write semething like :

$("#optiontoSelect").attr("selected","selected");
