I'm currently delving into JavaScript and seem to be stuck on a rather trivial problem, unsure of what I might be overlooking.
My predicament lies within a Bootstrap modal where I aim to dynamically append currency codes and exhibit them in a dropdown. Surprisingly, the process operates smoothly outside the bootstrap modal, but there seems to be a hiccup when attempting to append options within the modal.
Below is the snippet of JavaScript code causing the snag:
var select = document.getElementById("selectCurrencyDefault");
console.log(select);
var currencySelection = ["AED", "AFN", "ALL", "AMD", ... ]; // Currency codes array
for(var i = 0; i < currencySelection.length; i++) {
var opt = currencySelection[i];
var el = document.createElement("option");
el.setAttribute("id", "options");
el.textContent = opt;
// el.value = opt;
select.appendChild(el);
}
Here's the HTML code pertinent to the dropdown situated within the modal:
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Settings</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="dropdown">
<button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Default Currency:
</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" id="selectCurrencyDefault" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
It's intriguing how a simple link appended to the modal functions seamlessly, whereas the integration of JavaScript seems to pose a challenge. Even the addition of z-index in CSS did not yield the desired outcome.
