So I have a very basic HTML form, and I'm trying to figure out how to run a JS function if a user selects a specific with a specific value, inside of an HTML element. I'm very, very new to coding so forgive me if it looks awful; But something like this, where say I want the background to turn red when an option with the value "two" is selected:
HTML:
<select id="numberDropdown">
<option disabled selected>0</option>
<option value="one">1</option>
<option value="two">2</option>
<option value="three">3</option>
</select>
JavaScript:
document.getElementById("numberDropdown").value = document.getElementById("numberDropdown").selectedIndex.value;
if (document.getElementById("numberDropdown").value = "two"){
document.body.style.backgroundColor = "red";
};
I really don't know any java script, just tried to type something so you can understand the question. Thanks for any help!
This should get updated everytime a new value is selected
const selectElement = document.getElementById("numberDropdown");
selectElement.addEventListener('change', (event) => {
let val = selectElement.options[selectElement.selectedIndex].value;
if (val == "two"){
document.body.style.backgroundColor = "red";
}
});
