(jQuery) Set Default Value for Select (dropdown) Lists Using value attribute - halk

For some reason setting a default value for select elements does not work. This one line of jquery solves that problem. Assign a value (value="something") to the select tag that is to be the default value. With jquery get all select elements with a (value) attribute set. For some reason I couldnt get the value of (value) with jquery, it would only return the first item in the list and not the value of the attribute(value). Oldschool Javascript managed to return it though. The result is that when the document becomes ready jquery finds all select boxes and changes their value to the value stored in the attribute(value) of the select tag. This means that you can set default values for select elements in the same way you set them for other elements - by assigning them a (value) - value="whatever"

(jQuery) Text input default value recover - andres_314

This snippet could be used when a text input has a default value. Thus, when user clicks on the input to write, the default value disappears and allows the user to write, but if the user does not type anything, the default value will appears again. It also adds a class to the input when the user is typing on it and is removed when the input loses focus.This snippet must be inside the ready event.For the HTML markup, the only thing to take care is that you must use the same class in all the inputs that you want to give this functionality. In the example I use \"input-text-js\", but you can use whatever you want.You can see this snippet working on www.retto.com
