URL parameters – select field

    Hi,

    I’m trying to follow the URL parameter FAQ to preselect an option in a dropdown with a URL parameter.

    What I have is a dropdown field called <%fieldname53%> (class=’fuelcardselect’). One option is ‘Esso Fleet Card’ (without quotes) – other options are similar, text with spaces. I would like to use a URL parameter called ‘fuelcard’ to preselect options from the dropdown. I just can’t get it to work!

    Is this possible or does it only work with normal text fields?

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Sorry, I was being stupid.

    I forgot that the select field is nested within a div with the class name assigned. This is how I got it working:

    (function(){
    function urlParam(name){
    var results = new RegExp(‘[\?&]’ + name + ‘=([^&#]*)’).exec(window.location.href);
    return decodeURI(results[1]) || 0;
    }
    jQuery(‘.fuelcardselect div.dfield select’).val(urlParam(‘fuelcard’))
    })()

    The URL parameter ‘?fuelcard=Esso Fleet Card’ preselects Esso Fleet Card correctly.

    Hopefully this might help someone else though!
