    Arrow OnChange Filter To First Value Request

    Hello
    I am running a php & java script that when searching for a property, it uses the onchange feature for three fields regarding the location of the property.
    for example: Country, Parish, Area

    When you choose a country, you then choose a Parish(which correspons to the country) and then an Area (that corresponds to the Parish)

    Thing is, I am only using one country and would like the script to automatically show/filter to that country rather than 'Any'. For example I would want the Country field to show United Kingdom as a default.

    Here is a link to a screenshot of how it looks now:

    And here is a segment of the code from the php file that it uses to change the fields

    Code:
     <form action="<?php echo URL ?>/search.php" method="POST" name="form">
    
    
    
    
    <?php echo $lang['WHERE']; ?>:</h2>
    
    <?php echo $lang['Location1'] ?> <br>
    <select name="location1" class="span3" onchange="update(this, locations);">
    <option></option>
    <option></option>
    <option></option>
    </select>
    <br>
    <br>
    <?php echo $lang['Location2'] ?> <br>
    <select name="location2" class="span3" onChange="update(this, locations);">
    <option></option>
    <option></option>
    <option></option>
    </select>
    <br>
    <br>
    <?php echo $lang['Location3'] ?> <br>
    <select name="location3" class="span3">
    <option></option>
    <option></option>
    <option></option>
    </select>
    
    <input type="hidden" name="form" value="1">
    <input type="hidden" name="loc" value="">
    
    <br><br>
    What i want is to filter to first value(United Kingdom) by default in the dropdown (location1)
    I checked on the net and it was suggested to have another javascript running after the listbox using selectedIndex=1 but I'm not sure how to implement it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    Re: OnChange Filter To First Value Request

    You could use selectedIndex. It is very simple. The index corresponds to the <option> that you want to be preselected. However, it is not the best solution. You want to use the selected attribute in the <option> tag.

    Code:
    <select name="foo">
    <option>bar 1</option>
    <option>bar 2</option>
    <option selected="selected">bar 3</option>
    </select>
    If the post was helpful...Rate it! Remember to use [code] or [php] tags.

    THanks PJ
    Its still not having the first value from the database being shown first tho

    My focus is on this part of the code

    <?php echo $lang['WHERE']; ?>:</h2>

    <?php echo $lang['Location1'] ?> <br>
    <select name="location1" class="span3" onchange="update(this, locations);">
    <option></option>
    <option></option>
    <option></option>
    </select>
    <br>

    See the options come from a database and are not put in manually
    I only just saw there is a java forum. SHould I post this query in there? Just checking
    Thanks again
