Hi to all
am trying to use javascript for custom styled select boxes from www.gerrendesign.com/entry_images/selectboxdemo.zip
and as I have plenty entries inside one of select
box I need to make but am stuck
in creation of scrolling function.
As this select boxes are compatible with almost all older and new browsers. I need only suggestion or solution how to add scroll
in this linked/attached files above - if select
box is populated with plenty of entries (example cities, states, or exchange rates...)
Am stuck here...
Thanks for your cooperation
Ivan
THIS IS CODE:
$(document).ready(function(){
// first locate all of
the select tags on
the page and hide them
$("select.changeMe").css('display','none');
//now, for each select
box, run this function
$("select.changeMe").each(function(){
var curSel = $(this);
// get
the CSS width from
the original select
box
var gddWidth = $(curSel).css('width');
var gddWidthL = gddWidth.slice(0,-2);
var gddWidth2 = gddWidthL - 28;
var gddWidth3 = gddWidthL - 16;
// build
the new div structure
var gddTop = '<div style="width:' + gddWidthL + 'px" class="selectME" tabindex="0"><div class="cornerstop"><div><div></div></div></div><div class="middle"><div><div><div>';
//get
the default selected option
var whatSelected = $(curSel).children('option:selected').text();
//write
the default
var gddFirst = '<div class="first"><span class="selectME gselected" style="width:'+ gddWidth2 + 'px;">'+ whatSelected +'</span><span id="arrowImg"></span><div class="clears"></div></div><ul class="selectME">';
// create a new array of div options from
the original's options
var addItems = new Array();
$(curSel).children('option').each( function() {
var text = $(this).text();
var selVal = $(this).attr('value');
var before = '<li style="width:' + gddWidthL + 'px;"><a href="#" rel="' + selVal + '" tabindex="0" style="width:' + gddWidth3 + 'px;">';
var after = '</a></li>';
addItems.push(before + text + after);
});
//hide
the default from
the list of options
var removeFirst = addItems.shift();
// create
the end of
the div selectbox and close everything off
var gddBottom ='</ul></div></div></div></div><div class="cornersbottom"><div><div></div></div></div></div>'
//write everything after each selectbox
var GDD = gddTop + gddFirst + addItems.join('') + gddBottom;
$(curSel).after(GDD);
//this var selects
the div select
box directly after each of
the origials
var nGDD = $(curSel).next('div.selectME');
$(nGDD).find('li:first').addClass("first");

the on click functions - push results back to old text
