I'm using Symfony2 Framework, and this is what I want to do:
I want to change the value of an input type, but I want the value to be what I just selected with the selectable.
In the example at jquery.com I have the selected fields, but I need to have it on a hidden field so I could send it to a controller as a form data.
I've read the example in the JQuery Documentation but I'm having troubles changing it.
$(function() {
$( "#selectable" ).selectable({
stop: function() {
var result = $( "#select-result" ).empty();
$( ".ui-selected", this ).each(function() {
var index = $( "#selectable li" ).index( this );
result.append( " #" + ( index + 1 ) );
});
}
});
});
and I have this hidden field
<input name="horario" type="hidden" value=" " />
I want to change the value of the input field, for example, something like:
You have selected
#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23.
Something like this: jsFiddle example. This will set the hidden field value to your selected items and for demo purposes, show them in an alert.
jQuery
$("#selectable").selectable({
stop: function() {
var items = '';
var result = $("#select-result").empty();
$(".ui-selected", this).each(function() {
var index = $("#selectable li").index(this);
items += (" #" + (index + 1));
});
alert('You have selected: ' + items);
$('input[name="horario"]').val(items);
}
});ā
HTML
<input name="horario" type="hidden" value=" " />
<ol id="selectable">
<li class="ui-widget-content">Item 1</li>
<li class="ui-widget-content">Item 2</li>
<li class="ui-widget-content">Item 3</li>
<li class="ui-widget-content">Item 4</li>
<li class="ui-widget-content">Item 5</li>
<li class="ui-widget-content">Item 6</li>
<li class="ui-widget-content">Item 7</li>
</ol>
