Question

Let’s say I have different JS functions…

function stores(NY)
{
blah, blah, blah...
}
function stores(CA)
{
blah, blah, blah...
}
function stores(FL)
{
blah, blah, blah...
}

And I wish to run them from this drop-down menu…

<select onchange="stores(this.value);">
<option>Please select your state from this list...</option>
<option value="NY">New York</option>
<option value="CA">California</option>
<option value="FL">Florida</option>
</select>

And so on up to 50 US States, that’s why I need a simple way to call these functions but this is not working. Any ideas will be much appreciated. Thank y’all in advanced!

Answer 1

You just need one function.

function stores(city) {
  if (city === 'NY') {
    //blah, blah, blah...
  } else if (city === 'CA') {
    //blah, blah, blah...
  } else if (...) {
    // ... and so on
  }
  // ...
}
