javascript - Drop down menu Validation on button press w/ Alert -
the user should select 1 of options in drop down menu before proceeding form. "next button" should send alert if no option selected. both yes , no should allow next button work. need javascript this.
here html:
<fieldset> <h2 class="fs-title">past history </h2> <h3 class="fs-subtitle">please select 1 of following</h3> <div> <select name="past" id="past"> <option value=""disabled selected>select one</option> <option value="a">yes</option> <option value="b">no</option> </select> </div> <br> <input type="button" name="previous" class="previous action-button" value="previous" /> <input type="button" name="next" class="next action-button" id="nextpast" value="next" /> </fieldset>
this 1 works fine , won't let user continue unless have selected option
function alertbox() { if($("#past option:selected").text() == "select one"){ alert("you must select option!"); } }
