When it comes to Javascript, JQuery has always been a reliable companion for me. However, there are instances where I encounter challenges that require some extra effort to overcome. Today happens to be one of those days. I've stumbled upon an issue that is proving to be quite complex for me to resolve. Let me elaborate below.
The Scenario
<select name="one" id="one">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
....
</select>
<select name="two" id="two">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
....
</select>
<select name="three" id="three">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
....
</select>
Challenges Faced
I have managed to achieve the cascading dropdown functionality using JQuery successfully. The problem arises when the third dropdown triggers a refresh. After the refresh, all select values get reset, causing another unwanted refresh cycle.
What I aim to accomplish is to ensure that the first refresh sets all select values without triggering subsequent refreshes on selection in the third dropdown.
If further clarification is needed, please feel free to ask. Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated.
Status Update
if (false !== rootpfgroup && false !== hoofdpfgroup && false !== subpfgroup) {
$('#one').val(rootpfgroup).trigger('change');
$('#two').val(hoofdpfgroup).trigger('change');
$('#three').val(subpfgroup);
}
My current approach only sets the first dropdown value and triggers ajax calls for subsequent dropdown options based on selections. Can someone shed light on how to improve this process? Your input is highly valued. Thank you in advance.
