select box의 내용 가져오기 $("#select_box > option:selected").val(); select box의 값 설정 $("#select_box > option[@value=지정값]").attr("selected", "true")
My last jQuery post looked at how to count the number of options in a select and then clear all options from the select. This post looks at how to add a new option to a select with jQuery.
Working Example
The following is an example showing an already populated select.
Clicking the "Add option" button adds a new option to the end of the
select and makes it the selected one. Clicking "Replace options"
replaces them with a new set of options and then selects the "Green"
one.
Note that the above example will not work if you are reading this in a feed reader. In this case click through to view this post in a web browser.
Adding a single option - by appending HTML
Adding a single option can be done by appending HTML to the select
box. The select in the above example has an id of "example" i.e.
<select id="example"> and using this method adding a new option by
appending HTML can look like this:
This newly added option will be the selected option; to change this behavior remove the selected="selected" part.
Adding a single option - by appending a new option - method 1
To avoid having to write and append HTML and stick with a more
Javascript approach the new option can be appended with jQuery by
creating a new option object. This next example does not work correctly in Internet Explorer; it will add the new option but only the value and not display any text.
The true, true part at the end will make this item the selected one.
Adding a single option - by appending a new option - method 2
This method gets a handle to the options and adds a new option to the
array of options. This does work in Internet Explorer and is the more
traditional Javascript way of adding options.
Using the final method above this last example shows how to replace
the existing set of options with a new set, which may have been
retrieved from an AJAX call or similar.
Lines 1 to 7 define the new options with an associative array and the
one which will be selected. This is what might have been retrieved from
an AJAX call.
Lines 9 and 10 cache a handles to #example and its options.
Line 11 removes all the existing options.
Lines 13 to 15 loop through the new options and add them to the select box.
And finally line 16 sets the selected option.
Alternative methods
There are some alternative methods to adding options to a select box
with jQuery using various plug-ins and I may look at these in a future
post.
