Form Dropdownlist Value Onchange

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi All,

How do I trigger ‘onchange’ only when specific value is selected from the form dropdownlist?

I’m following Zaccaria’s wiki/http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/145/cjuidialog-for-cre in creating a pop-up dialog for user to create new type if it’s not available in the list.

I have the following dropdownlist code in the create form.

How do I trigger ‘onchange’ only when the value ‘addNew’ is selected?




<?php 

echo $form->dropDownList($model,'type_id', 

                Dropdown::model()->getTypeAsset() + array('addNew'=>'Add New...'),			

                array('onchange'=>"{addDropdown(); $('#dialogDropdown').dialog('open'); return false;}"),				

		array('empty'=>array('prompt'=>'-- Select --'), )

);		

?>

Thank for any help.

How about using current value of the dropdownlist?




array('onchange'=>"{

  if ($(this).val() == 'addNew')

  {

     addDropdown(); 

     $('#dialogDropdown').dialog('open'); 

  }

  return false;

}"),
