Populate the Dropdown based on another dropdown is very easy and simple, Now we will see how to do this without any database using jquery and javascript. This will done by using html dropdown or select box, It is dynamically display the particular dropdown data based on main html dropdown. In this example i am using the list of branch in main dropdown, the branches like Machanical , css&IT, Civil, EEE based on this select box display the differnt courses when you select the machanical the machanical course will display the another html dropdown, this will automatically populated based on main dropdown.
This example completely working with the help of Jquery and javascript. The below javascript code is used to poplulate the data to the dropdown.
<script type="text/javascript">
var courseByCategory = {
Mechanical: ["Mec-course-1", "Mec-course-2", "Mec-course-3", "Mec-course-4"],
Civil: ["Civ-course-1", "Civ-course-2", "Civ-course-3", "Civ-course-4"],
IT: ["IT-course-1", "IT-course-2", "IT-course-3", "IT-course-4"],
EEE: ["EEE-course-1", "EEE-course-2", "EEE-course-3", "EEE-course-4"]
}
function changecat(value) {
if (value.length == 0) document.getElementById("course").innerHTML = "<option></option>";
else {
var catOptions = "";
for (categoryId in courseByCategory[value]) {
catOptions += "<option>" + courseByCategory[value][categoryId] + "</option>";
}
document.getElementById("course").innerHTML = catOptions;
}
}
