The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.

The way you have it is correct at the moment. Either the id of the select is not what you say or you have some issues in the dom.
ReplyDeleteCheck the Id of the element and also check your markup validates at here at W3c.
Without a valid dom jQuery cannot work correctly with the selectors.
If the id's are correct and your dom validates then the following applies:
To Read Select Option Value
$('#selectId').val();
To Set Select Option Value
$('#selectId').val('newValue');
To Read Selected Text
$('#selectId>option:selected').text();
to get/set the actual selectedIndex property of the select element use:
ReplyDelete$("#select-id").prop("selectedIndex");
$("#select-id").prop("selectedIndex",1);
$('#myId').val() should do it, failing that I would try:
ReplyDelete$('#myId option:selected').val()
$("#myId").val() should work if myid is the input select element id!
ReplyDeleteThis would set the selected item: $("#myId").val('VALUE')
Suppose you have created a Drop Down list using SELECT tag like as follows,
ReplyDelete<select id="Country">
Now if you want to see what is the selected value from drop down using JQuery then, simply put following line to retrieve that value..
var result= $("#Country option:selected").text();
it will work fine.
