Supplier Management pro asked 6 years ago 

how to select the option value "H" without using the method $('.select-dropdown li:contains("H")')?PleaseBecause I have a lot of list to select with options that start with an H.

<form class="form-inline"><select class="mdb-select colorful-select dropdown-primary" id="selectGender"><option value="" disabled selected>Sexe</option><option value="H">Homme</option><option value="F">Femme</option></select></form>

                    I suggest to try this:

$('#InitialManager').change(function () { 
  var values = $(this).val();
  console.log(values);
});

                            If You want to select options programmatically You just need to create an array with option values and put it inside val(...)

                    Thank you for your reply.

the problem was that it needed to reset the Material_select

.$ ( '. Mdb-select') material_select ('destroy');
$ ( "[Id = selectGender]") val ("H").trigger( 'click');
$ ( '.mdb-select.') Material_select ().

I have another question, how to select multiple options in a select?

I tried this, but it does not work.

for (i = 0; i < data.InitialManager.length; i++)
{

$("[id=SelectHospital]").val(data.InitialManager[i].Id).trigger('click');
};

 

<form class="form-inline">

<select class="mdb-select colorful-select dropdown-primary" id="InitialManager" multiple >
<option value="" disabled selected> Gestionnaire</option>

<option value="1">option 1</option>

<option value="2">option 2</option>

<option value="3">option 3</option>

<option value="4">option 4</option>
}

</select>

                    Hello Mikolaj,

thanks for the response.

I already tried this--> $('#selectGender li:contains("H")').trigger('click');

But no change.

Is there not another possibility to select the option?

 

<form class=”form-inline”>

<select class=”mdb-select colorful-select dropdown-primary” id=”selectGender”>

<option value=”” disabled selected>Sexe</option>

<option value=”H”>Homme</option>

<option value=”F”>Femme</option>

</select>

</form>

                    Hi,

Try to fix it like this:

$('#selectGender li:contains("H")')

By using id instead of class You apply function to exactly one select
