Issue
I'm trying to develop an HTML Page within Adobe Dreamweaver using the Live Preview function (where I view the webpage on a local server) and my JavaScript is being finicky. Im trying to populate a dropdown menu with a JS array and my previous testing worked, but now when I try to get the script to run automatically, either a) nothing happens or b) the button flashes suggesting it was updated but still shows blank. Any help would be appreciated!
<script>
function start() {
var arrOptions = []; //arrOptionsCollection with HTML tags
var arrOptionsCollection = [0, 1, 2]; //Values for dropdown
arrOptions.push("<option value='Select From List...'>Select From List...</option>") //Dropdown Default
//Adds HTML tags to arrOptionsCollections
for (var i=0, n = arrOptionsCollection.length; i < n; i++) { =
arrOptions.push("<option value='" + arrOptionsCollection[i] + "'>" + arrOptionsCollection[i] + "</option>");
}
//Transfers arrOptions to actual HTML
document.getElementById("district-select").innerHTML = arrOptions.join();
}
document.getElementById("form-select").onload = function() {start()};
</script>
<body onload="start();">
<form id="form-select">
<select id="district-select">
<!--Script Inserts Options Here-->
</select>
</form>
Solution
I wonder what's the role of the = at the beginning of your for loop. Simply, it doesn't make any sense.
So instead of:
for (var i=0, n = arrOptionsCollection.length; i < n; i++) { =
Put:
for (var i=0, n = arrOptionsCollection.length; i < n; i++) {
Here is your code:
function start() {
var arrOptions = []; //arrOptionsCollection with HTML tags
var arrOptionsCollection = [0, 1, 2]; //Values for dropdown
arrOptions.push("<option value='Select From List...'>Select From List...</option>") //Dropdown Default
//Adds HTML tags to arrOptionsCollections
for (var i=0, n = arrOptionsCollection.length; i < n; i++) {
arrOptions.push("<option value='" + arrOptionsCollection[i] + "'>" + arrOptionsCollection[i] + "</option>");
}
//Transfers arrOptions to actual HTML
document.getElementById("district-select").innerHTML = arrOptions.join();
}
document.getElementById("form-select").onload = function() {start()};<body onload="start();">
<form id="form-select">
<select id="district-select">
<!--Script Inserts Options Here-->
</select>
</form>Here is a living demo: https://codepen.io/marchmello/pen/yLYbYjw?editors=1010
