Also see the OptionTransfer library to more easily handle transferring options between two lists COMPATABILITY: These are fairly basic functions - they should work on all browsers that support Javascript. */ // ------------------------------------------------------------------- // hasOptions(obj) // Utility function to determine if a select object has an options array // ------------------------------------------------------------------- function hasOptions(obj) { if (obj!=null && obj.options!=null) { return true; } return false; } // ------------------------------------------------------------------- // selectUnselectMatchingOptions(select_object,regex,select/unselect,true/false) // This is a general function used by the select functions below, to // avoid code duplication // ------------------------------------------------------------------- function selectUnselectMatchingOptions(obj,regex,which,only) { if (window.RegExp) { if (which == "select") { var selected1=true; var selected2=false; } else if (which == "unselect") { var selected1=false; var selected2=true; } else { return; } var re = new RegExp(regex); if (!hasOptions(obj)) { return; } for (var i=0; i<obj.options.length; i++) { if (re.test(obj.options[i].text)) { obj.options[i].selected = selected1; } else { if (only == true) { obj.options[i].selected = selected2; } } } } } // ------------------------------------------------------------------- // selectMatchingOptions(select_object,regex) // This function selects all options that match the regular expression // passed in.
