Re: [phpXperts] Need help for js array

Hello Rahat Bashir,

Adjust your array elements like below and try the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

    var mylist = new Array(5);
    for (var i = 0; i < mylist.length; i++) {
        mylist[i] = new Array(2);
    }

        mylist[0][0] = 'value1';
        mylist[0][1] = 'value11';

        mylist[1][0] = 'value2';
        mylist[1][1] = 'value22';

        mylist[2][0] = 'value3';
        mylist[2][1] = 'value33';

        mylist[3][0] = 'value4';
        mylist[3][1] = 'value44';

        mylist[4][0] = 'value5';
        mylist[4][1] = 'value55';

    $.each(mylist,function( index, objVal ){

        $('select[name="myselect"]').append($('<option></option>').val(objVal[0]).html(objVal[1]));

    });

});

</script>

Make sure that you have a dropdownlist element with name="myselect" inside your html body tag.

Like:

<select name="myselect" ></select>

Good Luck.

Subject: [phpXperts] Need help for js array

Hello Experts,

I am a new user of jquery. Can anyone help me solving the following:

I have the following javascript array:

var mylist = new Array();
    mylist[0][0] = 'value1';
    mylist[0][1] = 'value11';

    mylist[1][0] = 'value2';
    mylist[1][1] = 'value22';

    mylist[2][0] = 'value3';
    mylist[2][1] = 'value33';

    mylist[3][0] = 'value4';
    mylist[3][1] = 'value44';

    mylist[4][0] = 'value5';
    mylist[4][1] = 'value55';

I want to populate options of a select element with these values with jquery, like below:

<select name="myselect">
<option value="value1">value11</option>
<option value="value2">value22</option>
<option>...........
</select>

I tried $.each(), but could not make it.

Regards,
Rahat Bashir
