I have three (cascading) select tags that appear one after another in a div. The html for them only differ in the options. The name and ids of the select are the same.
<div class="dad">
<select id="foo" name="foo[bar]" value="myVal">
...
<option value="343">boom</option>
...
</select>
<select id="foo" name="foo[bar]" value="myVal">...</select>
<select id="foo" name="foo[bar]" value="myVal">...</select>
</div>
The behavior I need is when a select is changed, an ajax call is made which provides the data (markup) for the next select. The data I get back which is markup a select and it's options is fine but am having issues replacing the next select.
$('select#foo').live("change", function() {
var optionSelected = $('option:selected', this);
var selID = optionSelected.val();
$.post('/postUrl?data=selID', function(data) {
// need to replace the second select
});
...
Usually I would have the id or class of the select I need to replace and would be easy. THe issue here is since all three select have the same id and name how can i identify the select after the one that is selected? Thanks.
