Simpel Question (anchor + js) - El Forum - 05-08-2012

Hey there,

I think the answer to this question is quite simple.

I want to get the value of my form_dropdown with jQuery when the form is submitted.
The value will be passed to the url so i can get the ID on the next page out of the url.

The thing is that i dont know how i can add javascript to the anchor tag.

The Dropdown has an ID which i select with jQuery to get the value

Code:
&lt;?php echo "<br />"; echo form_dropdown('klasdropdown', $klasdropdown, '', 'id="test"' ); ?&gt;

The jQuery code is as follows:

Code:
$('select#test').val();

And the anchor

Code:
&lt;?php echo anchor('aanwezigheid/formulier/' . "I WANT THE VALUE OFF THE DROPDOWN HERE" . '', 'ga');?&gt;

Now my question, how can i get the output of the jquery into the anchor?

I searched but didn't find anything which solves my problem

Thanks already Big Grin

I guess you could use jQuery to update the anchor's href attribute when the value of the dropdown changes, but why not just use a submit button for the form instead of an anchor, so that the data is passed in the normal way?

But how do i get the value from the dropdown then?
If i do it like this

Code:
&lt;?php echo form_open('aanwezigheid/formulier/'.$klasdropdown['id'].''); ?&gt;

&lt;?php echo "<br />"; echo form_dropdown('klasdropdown', $klasdropdown, ''); ?&gt;

&lt;?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Voeg klas toe'); ?&gt;

the url output is:

Code:
http://afstuderen.dev/index.php/aanwezigheid/formulier/Array

The array should be the id of the selected option Sad

If the form is submitted in the normal way the dropdown value will be waiting for you in $this->input->post('klasdropdown').
