For a normal text box I wrote this:

$SUL("#txtlinkid").val(json[0].linkurl);

The information is prefilling automatically from the database.

For a dropdown I wrote this:

$SUL("#txteventitleid").val(json[0].eventtitle);

But it is not prefilling from the database.

What is the correct procedure for dropdown?

  • If the object with id txteventitleid is a dropdown (select) then it will not work. to fill the select with options you can look at stackoverflow.com/a/1745745/2943218 It's simular but you need to change it just a bit Commented Jun 14, 2022 at 11:07

    For the dropdown, are you trying to select a value, or add all options to it? Commented Jun 14, 2022 at 11:08
  • 2 questions: 1) what is the HTML for your "dropdown" - you've named it with prefix txt which indicates it's a textbox, not a select. 2) exactly what is the ID of the "dropdown"? Your property is eventtitle, but your code ID is eventitleid - looks like it should be eventtitleid (2 Ts in the middle). This is why we ask for minimal code - looks like it's just a typo.

  • If the <option>s already exist and it is a <select id='eventitleid> then $("#txteventitleid").val(new_value) should work, here's an example: jsfiddle.net/msuedwnc but it won't add new <option>s for you. Commented Jun 14, 2022 at 11:17
