I want to submit a form which has just one dropdown with language values and i want to submit form and get access to that value so that i can localize some text on the page.
This is the code i am using but not able to access the post values
html form:
<form action='' method='post'>
<select id="lang">
<option value="english">Eng</option>
<option value="arabic">Arabic</option>
</select>
</form>
jQuery to submit the form:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
var lang = $("#lang").val();
var Home = 'اÙرئÙسÙØ©';
$("#lang").change(function(){
cntr = $("#lang option:selected").val();
if(lang=="arabic"){
$(".menu ul li a:eq(0)").text(Home);
}
$('form').submit();
});
});
</script>
I think you are missing a “name” attribute on the select:
You should specify “name” attribute for you “select” element
var lang = $("#lang").val();
will only fire when page loads and needname
for selectMove it inside the change handler so it updates each time
