Now let's say user clicks on two buttons and then changes the option type (first dropdown menu), then the buttons selected are still selected, I want the buttons to be unselected if the option type has changed.
This used to work but since I have included my `change` event handler to bind my jquery (this code is needed), it does not unselect buttons when the option type changes.
What do I need to do to fix this:
Below is my jquery and function of select and unselect buttons:
Code: Select all
$(document).ready(function ()
{
var OptDrop = new Array();
OptDrop.abc = ["",1,2];
OptDrop.abcd = ["",1,2,3];
OptDrop.abcde = ["",1,2,3,4];
OptDrop.trueorfalse = [1];
OptDrop.yesorno = [1];
$("#optionDropId").change(function ()
{
var selectedValue = $(this).val();
$("#numberDropId").html("");
$.each(OptDrop[selectedValue], function (x, y)
{
$("#numberDropId").append($("<option></option>").attr("value", y).html(y));
});
});
$("#optionDropId").change();
});
var currenttotal=0;
function getButtons()
{
document.getElementById("answerA").className="answerBtnsOff";
document.getElementById("answerB").className="answerBtnsOff";
document.getElementById("answerC").className="answerBtnsOff";
document.getElementById("answerD").className="answerBtnsOff";
document.getElementById("answerE").className="answerBtnsOff";
document.getElementById("answerTrue").className="answerBtnsOff";
document.getElementById("answerFalse").className="answerBtnsOff";
document.getElementById("answerYes").className="answerBtnsOff";
document.getElementById("answerNo").className="answerBtnsOff";
currenttotal=0;
}
function btnclick(btn)
{
if(document.getElementById("numberDropId").value=="")
{
alert('You must first select the number of answers you require from the drop down menu');
return false;
}
if (btn.className=="answerBtnsOn")
{
btn.className="answerBtnsOff";
currenttotal--;
return false;
}
if(document.getElementById("numberDropId").value==currenttotal)
{
alert('You are not allowed beyond the limit of the number of answers you require, deselect other button');
return false;
}
if (btn.className=="answerBtnsOff")
{
btn.className="answerBtnsOn";
currenttotal++;
return false;
}
}Code: Select all
