PHP Drop Down Selection

[SterLo]

I was wondering if anyone had any good methods for this problem.

I have a drop down box that is generated:

Status: <select name="tt_ticket statusid" class="swiftsel ect"><option
value="1" style="" selected="selec ted">Open</option>
<option value="2" style="">On Hold</option>
<option value="3" style="">Closed </option>
<option value="5" style="">Awaiti ng Customer Response</option>
<option value="4" style="">Potent ially Resolved</option>
<option value="6" style="color: teal;">On Hold - potential future
release</option>
<option value="7" style="">Potent ially Resolved, Next Release</option>
<option value="9" style="">Fixed - Next Release</option>
<option value="10" style="">Intern al Change</option>
</select>

The website I am doing this with is pretty complicated and has AJAX
and PHP OOP running everywhere.

I need to have the drop down box automatically select the value 5 - I
have already located the event where I want this to take place - but I
am not sure how I would go about making a drop down box select an
option after it has been written to the page.

Maybe with Javascript?

Re: PHP Drop Down Selection

If you for example want to select the fourth option (here "Awaiting
Customer Response") you could do it with the JavaScript-line:

document.getEle mentsByName("tt _ticketstatusid ")[0].selectedIndex= 3;

Re: PHP Drop Down Selection

Sweet - how do I get it to run automatically after the page has
loaded?
I can't create an object in the header and then call it so I need to
call that line of javascript right after the page is done.
Any suggestions?

Re: PHP Drop Down Selection

Just put the JavaScript code into the body as the last Tag like for example

---
<html>
<head>
[...]
</head>
<body>
[...]
<script>
document.getEle mentsByName("tt _ticketstatusid ")[0].selectedIndex= 3;
</script>
</body>
</html>
---

Why do this in Javascript? All that is required for the default value
of 5 to be selected is to add the phrase: selected="selec ted" to the
<optiontag. You can do this with straight HTML, or if the dropdown
is created via PHP, add it to the function that creates the dropdown.

"AJAX and PHP OOP" = Complicated online application.
This website literally has 243 files - more than half with over 2300
lines of code.
It's all dynamically created.

I want to accomplish a simple task for someone - so rather than
digging through each file and making sure my changes don't break
anything - I figured javascript or something would help.
