Hi - I'd like to be able to select a specific option within a dropdown list in order to manipulate it. For example,
$("#mylist > option14").replaceWith(<option value="option155">New Option</option>
How can I do this?
Selecting through the child selector doens't seem to work.
Thanks.
$("#mylist option").each(function(){
if($(this).val() == "option14"){
$(this).replaceWith('<option value="option155">New Option</option>');
}
});
or
$("#mylist option[value=option14]").replaceWith(
'<option value="option155">New Option</option>'
);
You can do with :
$("select#mylist option[value='option14']").replaceWith('<option value="option155">New Option</option>');
Try below example:
<html>
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function()
{
$("select#mylist option[value='option14']").replaceWith('<option value="option155">New Option</option>');
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select id="mylist">
<option value="option11">One</option>
<option value="option12">Two</option>
<option value="option13">Three</option>
<option value="option14">Four</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
