Getting the value of an select item

niranjan

hi,
In form api one can get the value of an item using IWItem.getValue() method but for select list it returns the index of the selected item. How can i get the value assigned to the value attribute of the select tag.

Also can i populate a select list based on certain criteria in a form api

Thanks
Niranjan

Here is the sample code to get the value

var index = IWDatacapture.getItem("CD/ChannelORDealerCode").getValue();
var option = IWDatacapture.getItem("CD/ChannelORDealerCode").getOptions();

var value = option[index].value;

Hope this helps

i can't make it work any idea? thanks

for ( var i=1; i <= constants.TOP_COUNTRY_MAX; i++ )
{
log.debug("topCountryIds = " + topCountryIds );

var countryItemAccessor = "/CATEGORY[" + i + "]/ID";

var topCountryItem = IWDatacapture.getItem(countryItemAccessor);

if ( ! mhrObject.isNull(topCountryItem) )
{
var countryId = topCountryItem.getValue();

log.debug("country id = " + countryId );
if ( topCountryIds.indexOf(countryId) > 0 )
{
alert("Each Top 5 Country selection must be different.");
valid = false;
log.debug("Invalid top countries");
break;
}
else
{
topCountryIds = topCountryIds + '-' + countryId;
//alert ("top:" + topCountryIds);
}
}
}
log.debug("End validing top countries");
}

Krishna has told you that you need to get the index and the options array, then use the index to get the value from the options array. I don't see you trying to do this anywhere in your code? Maybe you should read his post again?

i'm getting error null value.. any idea?

else if( dctType == constants.TOP_COUNTRY_TYPE )
{
var index = IWDatacapture.getItem("/CATEGORY/ID").getValue();
var option = IWDatacapture.getItem("/CATEGORY/ID").getOptions();

var value = option[index].value;
alert(value);

Isn't CATEGORY a replicant? You need to supply the replicant number as well...
var index = IWDatacapture.getItem("/CATEGORY[1]/ID").getValue();
var option = IWDatacapture.getItem("/CATEGORY[1]/ID").getOptions();

var value = option[index].value;
alert(value);
