The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hiding dropdown options in IE

Asked by woodpd in JavaScript

Tags: javascript, ie, select

I am trying to only show certain items in a <select> depending on the value of a radio button group.

Simplified code:

<input name="repfilter" type="radio" value="1" onclick="filterMenu(1);" /> Detail
<input name="repfilter" type="radio" value="2" onclick="filterMenu(2);" /> Summarys
<input name="repfilter" type="radio" value="3" onclick="filterMenu(3);" /> Graphs
<input name="repfilter" type="radio" value="4" onclick="filterMenu(4);" checked="checked" /> All

<select name="report" id="report">
<option value="SL1">Option 1</option>
<option value="SL2">Option 2</option>
<option value="CH21">Option 3</option>
<option value="AC25">Option 4/option>
.....
</select>

<script>
function filterMenu(filter) {
var sel = document.forms['form1'].report;
var val;
for (var i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) {
val = sel.options[i].value;
switch (filter) {
case 1 :
if (val.substr(0, 2) == 'CH') sel.options[i].style.display = 'block'; else sel.options[i].style.display = 'none';
      break;
case 2 :
if (val.substr(0, 2) == 'AC') sel.options[i].style.display = 'block'; else sel.options[i].style.display = 'none';
      break;
case 3 :
if (val.substr(0, 2) == 'SL) sel.options[i].style.display = 'block'; else sel.options[i].style.display = 'none';
      break;
default :
sel.options[i].style.display = 'block';
      break;
}
}
}
</script>

This works great in Firefox, but doesn't happen in IE - it doesn't error, but setting the display style property in IE does nothing whether you do it statically or dynamically it seems. I've tried using visibility too, but to no avail.

How can I do this without: 1) Creating 4 different select lists and showing/hiding them, 2) Adding/removing elements using JavaScript.

I just want to show/hide options within a select list cross-browser.
