I want to give the users an opportunity to type in their own text if not in the list. This text should not be added to the list but it should be the value sent when the form is submitted.
I have the feeling that this is not possible with the but what other solutions exist? This is common in windows applications at least.
Take a look at datalist
gsp:
<label>Choose an colour:
<input list="colours" name="aColour" /></label>
<datalist id="colours">
<option value="Red">
<option value="Blue">
<option value="White">
</datalist>
controller:
params.aColour

I have a select field that starts with an option that says "Select Location" and want to force the user to choose something before submitting. I saw this article about disabling the Submit button with amp-bind until an option is available, but I would like to use the validation built into amp-form if at all possible.
I have tried using the pattern attribute on the <select> and <option> fields. I have used something similar to pattern="^((?!default).)*$" and multiple variations without any success.
<form
id="contactForm"
method="post"
action-xhr="https://valid.json/endpoint"
custom-validation-reporting="show-all-on-submit"
target="_top">
[...]
<select
id="formLocation"
name="location_id"
pattern="^((?!default).)*$"
required>
<option value="default" disabled selected>Select Location</option>
<option value="newyork">New York</option>
<option value="losangeles">Los Angeles</option>
</select>
<span
visible-when-invalid="patternMismatch"
required
validation-for="formLocation">
Please Choose a Location
</span>
[...]
<input
id="formSubmit"
type="submit"
value="Submit">
</form>
When I click Submit without changing the value, I expect the validation error to appear, but it doesn't. Is it possible to use this validation method with Select fields? Or will I have to just use the aforementioned amp-bind method?
I am assuming that you have added all required script js files form the form. I have provided an example of the rating.
AMP is providing two types of validation one which is for the blank value and another when the pattern does not match. You are missing the blank value validation.
<script async custom-element="amp-form" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-form-0.1.js"></script>
<form action-xhr="here will be your url" custom-validation-reporting="show-all-on-submit" target="_top" method="post" class="wpcf7-form i-amphtml-form amp-form-dirty" novalidate="">
<label for="rating">Select rating</label>
<select name="rating" required="" class="user-invalid valueMissing" id="show-all-on-submit-select" aria-invalid="false">
<option value="">Rate…</option>
<option value="5">Perfect</option>
<option value="4">Good</option>
<option value="3">Average</option>
<option value="2">Not that bad</option>
<option value="1">Very poor</option>
</select>
// You are missing this one
<span visible-when-invalid="valueMissing" validation-for="show-all-on-submit-select">
Please select rating..!!
</span>
// This is for the pattern validation message. If the field is having the value but not does not match with patter this span will provide the validation
<span visible-when-invalid="patternMismatch" validation-for="show-all-on-submit-select">
Please select rating..!!
</span>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit button yellow-button">
</form>
Now, If you need the same solution in your code just put below span I think it must work for you:
<span
visible-when-invalid="valueMissing"
required
validation-for="formLocation"
validation-for="show-all-on-submit-select">
Please Choose a Location
</span>
Thanks
I have to provide a dropdown in my form with a large number of options in it but the selected options are to be shown at various places so i have to store the selected option or its id at database too.
<FormGroup>
<Label htmlFor="category">Category</Label>
<select innerRef={input => (this.category = input)} id="select" class="form-control" >
<option value="0">Please select</option>
<option value="1">Mobiles</option>
<option value="2">Television</option>
<option value="3">Washing Machines</option>
</select>
</FormGroup>
This is the gist of the form type i want, there will be other categories in somewhere around 25. I cant have 25 options opening in dropdown. I want to have something like select and input type in dropdown. Also i want to store the option selected by the user and then display it somewhere else.
I would like to use a <select> in a form to let the user being able to update values among different <option>. I have used the technique from the guide here: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/forms.html. Here is the sample I am talking about:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="type">Type :</label>
<select class="form-control" [(ngModel)]="order.type" ngControl="type">
<option *ngFor="#type of types" [value]="type">{{type}}</option>
</select>
</div>
In my order-details.component I have got an updateOrder() which calls the updateOrder() from myApp.services.
My problem is when I am trying to send the data from the form to the back-end: all the parts with an <input> are OK, but not those with <select> (it returns the original values, and not the one selected).
Does anyone have encountered this or a similar problem?
Thanks for your help!
There is a way to get the value from different options.
check this plunker
component.html
<select class="form-control" #t (change)="callType(t.value)">
<option *ngFor="#type of types" [value]="type">{{type}}</option>
</select>
component.ts
this.types = [ 'type1', 'type2', 'type3' ];
this.order = {
type: 'type1'
};
callType(value){
console.log(value);
this.order.type=value;
}
Been tackling this problem for a few hours.
Checked in the (incomplete) documentation to find an item in the NgSelectOption page called "ngValue"
Not sure if this is the intended use but it seemed to work fine.
So instead of using
[value]="item"
Use:
[ngValue]="item"
Just use ngModel on the select and ngModelChange event if you want to do something when it changes.
In fact I can't reproduce your problem. I created a plunkr with a very simple form with an input and a select. When I submit the form, I have actual values in the bound object. See this plunkr: https://plnkr.co/edit/5C3agW7QZfcrdt88QzSh?p=preview.
Feel free to tell me if I didn't correctly understand your problem.

If you have static, hard-coded values for the select tag like below:
<select #quantity>
<option value="one">1</option>
<option value="two">2</option>
<option value="three">3</option>
<option value="four">4</option>
<option value="five">5</option>
</select>
You can do the following:
#ViewChild('quantity') quantity: ElementRef;
console.log(this.quantity.nativeElement.value); // will print value of the currently selected option
I have two selects that initially render this way in both firefox and IE8:
<select id="cntctMap_PRSNL_TITL_TXT" >
<option value="Dr.">Dr.</option>
<option value="Ms.">Ms.</option>
<option value="Mrs.">Mrs.</option>
<option selected="" value="Mr.">Mr.</option>
</select>
<select id="cntctMap_CUST_SEGM_US_RETAIL_SALES_SMA"">
<option value="01">Focus</option>
<option value="02">Prospect</option>
<option value="03">Center Of Influence</option>
</select>
So far so good as only the first select has a value returned from the server-side, the second does not.
On document load I pull the html for the second select, i.e. $("#cntctMap_CUST_SEGM_US_RETAIL_SALES_SMA").html());
In IE the returned string is:
<option selected value="01">Focus</option><option value="02">Prospect</option><option value="03">Center Of Influence</option>
Notice the 'selected' attribute
But in firefox it's:
<option value="01">Focus</option><option value="02">Prospect</option><option value="03">Center Of Influence</option>
The reason this is important to me is that I want to prepend an option, i.e.
$("#cntctMapCUST_SEGM_US_RETAIL_SALES_SMA").prepend(selectOption);
And have the prepended option value show in the dropdown box, but I only want to do this for those selects that don't have a server-side value.
In IE, I can't tell which is which since 'selected' comes back in all cases. This is also true if I use $("#cntctMap_CUST_SEGM_US_RETAIL_SALES_SMA option:selected")); In IE, it always returns a 'selected' option.
Anyone know a way around this?
As discussed in the comments, I suggest adding a special class (e.g. has-default) to selects that have server-side values. This is done on the server-side when you render the tags.
<select id="cntctMap_PRSNL_TITL_TXT" class="has-default">
<option value="Dr.">Dr.</option>
<option value="Ms.">Ms.</option>
<option value="Mrs.">Mrs.</option>
<option selected="" value="Mr.">Mr.</option>
</select>
<select id="cntctMap_CUST_SEGM_US_RETAIL_SALES_SMA">
<option value="01">Focus</option>
<option value="02">Prospect</option>
<option value="03">Center Of Influence</option>
</select>
...
Using jQuery, you can target selects with server-side values:
$('select.has-default').prepend(selectOption);
The above statement will only prepend selectOption to selects that have the has-default class. This is more consistent because it doesn't rely on whether browsers mingle with the <option> tags.
<select name="day" id="day">
<option value="0" label="Day:">Day:</option>
<option value="1" label="1">1</option>
</select>
<select name="month" id="month">
<option value="0" label="Month:">Month:</option>
<option value="1" label="January">January</option>
</select>
<select name="year" id="year">
<option value="2010" label="2010">2010</option>
</select>
Can I build a form part like this format using Zend_Form and Decorator? I have read many posting but couldn't find any which helps to pack more than one elements together inside a "dd" tag. Does it possible or not?
http://weierophinney.net/matthew/archives/217-Creating-composite-elements.html
This post goes onto explain how to create a composite object using Zend_Form_element and settings up custom decorators.
It is also built around having all date fields grouped together so you could probably just modify this example to get what you want.
