I got a dropdown as follows
<select class="selectpicker" multiple>
<optgroup label="option 1">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="option 2">
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
I want to select only from one optgroup, whn I try to select option from another optgroup, need to deselect/ not allow to select if one optgroup already has an option selected. I tried changed.bs.select event to get the opt group index but not sure how to achieve this, any help?
$dropdown.on("changed.bs.select", "select", function (){
var $option = $(this).find("option:selected", this);
var optGroup = $option.closest("optgroup").index();
})
Try this http://jsfiddle.net/g9byn80a/
<select id="msel" style="width:300px">
<optgroup label="Alaskan/Hawaiian Time Zone">
<option value="AK">Alaska</option>
<option value="HI">Hawaii</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Pacific Time Zone">
<option value="CA">California</option>
<option value="NV">Nevada</option>
<option value="OR">Oregon</option>
<option value="WA">Washington</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
<script>
var memoryOne;
$("option").mouseover(function () {
var selectedOne = $("optgroup:nth-of-type(1)").children("option:selected").index();
memoryOne = selectedOne;
}).click(function () {
var theSelectedIndex = $(this).index();
var theParentIndex = $(this).parent().index();
setTimeout(function () {
clickEvent(theSelectedIndex, theParentIndex, memoryOne);
}, 1);
});
function clickEvent(passedIndex, parentIndex, memoryOne, memoryTwo) {
var selectionOne = memoryOne;
var theParent = $("optgroup:eq(" + parentIndex + ")");
var theOption = $("optgroup:eq(" + parentIndex + ") option:eq(" + passedIndex + ")");
var theGrandParent = $("select");
theParent.find("option:not(option:eq(" + passedIndex + "))").prop("selected", false);
}
</script>
