I suppose you are using combox to populate date and then selecting it.
Initially on page load do not select anything then add following like this
<select id="Find" size="1" onchange="javascript:yourFunction()" style="position:relative;" > <option value="Anchor1">Anchor1</option> <option value="Anchor2">Anchor2</option> <option value="Anchor3">Anchor3</option> <option value="Anchor4">Anchor4</option> </select><br>
you can send pass parameter also.
then in yourFunction() javascript: add <a href="https://bytes.com/topic/javascript/answers/656764-how-redirect-page-using-javascript" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">how to redirect a page using javascript? - Javascript</a>
You can use <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_loc_href.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Location href Property</a>Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

hey thanks for the reply, but you didn't got the question i guess. sorry if was a bit ambiguous.
it's for combo box only, where there are several entities, say x, y and z. what i want is that when user selects x, it should redirect to another page say abc.jsp, for y, it should redirect to pqr.jsp and so on....Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

what are xyz....
if these are radio buttons then just use OnClick() event and call the javascript function.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

xyz are different entities like anchor1, anchor2 in your example. n ya, onclick() method is a nice solution to that....Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Wait... Lemme say... You got a combobox with values Page 1, Page 2, Page 3. And upon selecting them, they should redirect you to One.jsp, Two.jsp, and Three.jsp accordingly. If this is the case, you can try this:
<select name="page" id="page" onchange="redirectPage(this);"> <option value="One.jsp">Page 1</option> <option value="Two.jsp">Page 2</option> <option value="Three.jsp">Page 3</option> </select> <script type="text/javascript"> function redirectPage(which) { location.href = which.value; } </script>
This works in almost all the browsers. Checked just now. Try and let me know... 😀Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

You mean like this? The value of the next combo box is dependent on the previous one???

yup. like this. it includes dynamic selection for some dropdown menu's using database too. 😕Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -
Member • Apr 25, 2012
I guess its getting complicated... Then you got two choices:lovejeetyup. like this. it includes dynamic selection for some dropdown menu's using database too. 😕
1. Ajax Update
2. Page Refresh
Which one do you prefer?Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -
Member • Apr 25, 2012
i do not prefer ajax. wanna keep it as the last option. i tried it for two drop down menu's and it wasn't much tought. but when it comes to more than two and when retrieving the values from database, its all over my head....😛Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

If you were using ASP.net, it is damn easy... Check this out: #-Link-Snipped-#Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

And I saw this in StackOverflow. Seems promising. Read on...
You need to download JQuery (JavaScript framework) and include that in the head section of the HTML.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
Inside the OnChange function for first dropdown call the function to populate the subsequent dropdowns.
The function is a s follows:$(document).ready(function() {
$('#DDIdParent').change(function() {
populateChildDropdown('DDIdParent');
});
});
Inside your Servlet's doGet method, you will have a code like this to get the value of subsequent dropdown from the database as a JSON String:function populateChildDropdown(ddId) {
var dd = $('#' + ddId);
$.getJSON('json/mapping?dd=' + ddId, function(opts) {
$('>option', dd).remove(); // Clear old options first.
if (opts) {
$.each(opts, function(key, value) {
dd.append($('<option/>').val(key).text(value));
});
} else {
dd.append($('<option/>').text("Please select the parent DD"));
}
});
}
You need to map the json/mapping to your servlet inside web.xml. You can also pass parameters from the jquery function if needed.Map options = yourDao.callDatabase(parameter);
String json = new Gson().toJson(options);
res.setContentType("application/json");
res.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
res.getWriter().write(json);Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

sir ji i want that in jsp, no php or .net allowed...😔Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -
Member • Apr 25, 2012
Without ajax you need to refresh the page.
using onChange() even submit the page with some flag. and on sevlet/ jsp, you are using, get all the values. now fetch values for next drop down menu on basis of latest dropdown menu. and come back to the page with all values. and populate the your latest dropdown menu and set all the previous values.
why not Ajax. you are just fetching data from database.😀Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Sir Ji! It is JSP! 😀lovejeetsir ji i want that in jsp, no php or .net allowed...😔
And if you really know JavaScript, those things inside PHP block are JavaScripts. No where I have used PHP! Lolz...Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

This smells like an assignment 😀
But perhaps you need to do this via simply Javascript.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -
Member • Apr 27, 2012
@praveen- oops..... sorry that was a bit confusing by that header of 'php'. will try the code.
@kidakaka- hahaha.......yup, a part of my project only, but what all i could try was for two menu's and that to without the database. rest i need to take the help...😀Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Here's what you do -
Declare a javascript array for the URLs.
In the dropdown, the values of each option should map to the index of this URL array.
When the form is submitted, simply invoke a function which will take the value of the dropdown, retrieve the particular URL from that value and change the location to that.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Even then it becomes an AJAX Call right?kidakakaHere's what you do -

Nope. Its still Javascript. Why go into the trouble of AJAX?
<html> <script language="Javascript"> function doMyThang() { var urlArray = ["https://google.com","https://crazyengineers.com","https://kidakaka.com"];window.location = urlArray[document.quickUrl.urlDropdown.value-1]; } </script> <body> <form name="quickUrl"> <select name="urlDropdown" > <option value="1">Google</option> <option value="2">CE</option> <option value="3">Kidakaka</option> </select> <input type="button" value="do my thang!" onClick="javascript:doMyThang();" /> </form> </body> </html>
Here's the code of what I was thinking.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
