MVC app does not show selected values on a form reedition - forms

Question

I am building a Framework7 MVC app and found myself in a dead end alley. I have a form which I need to evaluate. This form contains selects. I am using localStorage to store the form values and everything works OK in that sense, I mean everything is stored correctly. ¿What is the issue? When I fill the form I answer some questions on textareas inputs, select inputs and inputs. everything goes fine until I try to reedit the form, then everything is display correctly on the form, including the score i got from my previous answers, but, the selects appears as if I have never touch them. Their previously selected value is stored but not display on the form. I have found that the issue is caused by the fact that I have set numerical values to the options values but what the form show is "yes" or "no". If I change the option values to "yes" or "no" then the form displays correctly but I need to set "5" or "0" because I need to evaluate the user's answers.
This is my code
The form
<li style="margin-top:-10px;">
<input style="visibility:hidden;height:1px;" value="0" name="choice" onchange="checkTotal()"/>
<input style="visibility:hidden;height:1px;" value="1" type="checkbox" name="choice" onchange="checkTotal()" checked="on">
</li>
<li><div class="item-content">1. ¿Sueles quejarte de sentirte mal?</div>
<div class="item-content">
<div class="item-inner">
<div class="item-input">
<select name="pr1" id="pr1" onchange="checkTotal()">
<option class="item-inner" value="5">No</option>
<option class="item-inner" value="0">Si</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="item-content">En tal caso,</div>
<div class="item-content">
<div class="item-inner">
<div class="item-input">
<textarea class="resizable" id="pr1notes" placeholder="¿cuál es la causa?">{{model.pr1notes}}</textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
The functions on the editController
function init(query){
var protections = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("f7Protections"));
if (query && query.id) {
protection = new Protection(_.find(protections, { id: query.id }));
state.isNew = false;
}
else {
protection = new Protection({ isFavorite: query.isFavorite });
state.isNew = true;
}
View.render({ model: protection, bindings: bindings, state: state, doneCallback: saveProtection });
showSelectedValues();
}
function showSelectedValues(){
var fieldNames = protection.getSelectFields();
for (var i = 0, len = fieldNames.length; i < len; i++) {
var itemname = fieldNames[i];
var selectObj = document.getElementById(itemname);
if (selectObj!=null) {
var objOptions = selectObj.options;
var selIndex=0;
for (var j = 0, len2 = objOptions.length; j < len2; j++) {
if ((objOptions[j].label).localeCompare(protection[itemname])==0){
selIndex=j;
}
}
selectObj.options[selIndex].setAttribute("selected","selected");
}else{
}
}
}
and the model
Protection.prototype.setValues = function(inputValues, extras) {
for (var i = 0, len = inputValues.length; i < len; i++) {
var item = inputValues[i];
if (item.type === 'checkbox') {
this[item.id] = item.checked;
}
else {
this[item.id] = item.value;
}
}
for (var i = 0, len = extras[0].length; i < len; i++) {
var item = extras[0][i];
if((item.id).localeCompare("pr1notes")==0) {this[item.id] = item.value;}
}
console.log('starting loop for extras 3...');
for (var i = 0, len = extras[2].length; i < len; i++) {
var item = extras[2][i];
this[item.name] = item.value;
}
};
Protection.prototype.validate = function() {
var result = true;
if (_.isEmpty(this.prdate)
) {result = false;}
return result;
};
Protection.prototype.getSelectFields = function() {
return ['pr1'];
}
What should I change in order to keep my "5" or "0" values on the select options while the form options still show "yes" or "no" to the user just like this: <select name="pr1" id="pr1" onchange="checkTotal()"><option class="item-inner" value="5">No</option><option class="item-inner" value="0">Si</option></select>?
need anything else to help you understand the issue?

The simplest solution
function init(query){
var protections = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("f7Protections"));
if (query && query.id) {
protection = new Protection(_.find(protections, { id: query.id }));
state.isNew = false;
}
else {
protection = new Protection({ isFavorite: query.isFavorite });
state.isNew = true;
}
View.render({ model: protection, bindings: bindings, state: state, doneCallback: saveProtection });
showSelectedValues();
}
function showSelectedValues(){
var fieldNames = protection.getSelectFields();
for (var i = 0, len = fieldNames.length; i < len; i++) {
var itemname = fieldNames[i];
var selectObj = document.getElementById(itemname);
if (selectObj!=null) {
var objOptions = selectObj.options;
var selIndex=0;
for (var j = 0, len2 = objOptions.length; j < len2; j++) {
if ((objOptions[j].value).localeCompare(protection[itemname])==0){
selIndex=j;
}
}
selectObj.options[selIndex].setAttribute("selected","selected");
}else{
}
}
}
Just changed this line
if ((objOptions[j].label).localeCompare(protection[itemname])==0){
selIndex=j;
and changed .label for .value.
