[jQuery] $.merge() can be used on object?
I'm trying to do some dynamic drop down with pre-filled array. Option1
would trigger new options in Option2. Option2 would trigger new
options in Option3. (and so on...)
In matchOptions(), I would like to use $.merge to add matched items
without duplication. But it seems that it cannot be done. So I guess I
cannot use $.merge for object?
HTML:
<select class="option1"></select>
<select class="option2"></select>
<select class="option3"></select>
Scripts (sorry it's a bit long):
var os = [ //options available
{f1:{value:0,label:"A1"}, f2:{value:0,label:"B1"}, f3:{value:0,label:"C1"}},
{f1:{value:0,label:"A1"}, f2:{value:0,label:"B1"}, f3:{value:1,label:"C2"}},
{f1:{value:0,label:"A1"}, f2:{value:1,label:"B2"}, f3:{value:2,label:"C3"}},
{f1:{value:1,label:"A2"}, f2:{value:2,label:"B3"}, f3:{value:3,label:"C4"}},
{f1:{value:1,label:"A2"}, f2:{value:3,label:"B4"}, f3:{value:4,label:"C5"}},
{f1:{value:1,label:"A2"}, f2:{value:3,label:"B4"}, f3:{value:5,label:"C6"}},
{f1:{value:2,label:"A3"}, f2:{value:4,label:"B5"}, f3:{value:6,label:"C7"}},
{f1:{value:2,label:"A3"}, f2:{value:5,label:"B6"}, f3:{value:7,label:"C8"}}
];
$(document).ready(function(){
$("select[@class^=option]").dynSelect({os:os});
});
//Plugins
jQuery.fn.dynSelect = function(s){
var o = { f:"f", v:"value", l:"label", emptyMsg:"Please select...", os:[]};
if(s) jQuery.extend(o,s);
o.className = jQuery(this).get(0).className.replace(/\d+$/,"");
this
.each(function(i){
jQuery.dynSelect.fillOptions(this,o);
})
.change(function(){
var index = jQuery("select[@class^="+o.className+"]").index(this);
jQuery("select[@class^="+o.className+"]:gt("+index+")").each(function(){
jQuery.dynSelect.fillOptions(this,o);
});
});
}
jQuery.dynSelect = {
fillOptions: function(obj,o){
var num = obj.className.replace(o.className,"");
obj.options.length = 1;
obj.options[0] = new Option(o.emptyMsg,null);
jQuery(this.matchOptions(num,o)).each(function(i){
obj.options[i+1] = new Option(this[o.l],this[o.v]);
});
},
matchOptions: function(num,o){
var match = [];
//try to match, e.g. option3 would match by option1 and option2
jQuery.each(o.os,function(i){
var j = eval(num);
var isMatch = true;
while(--j>0){
if(jQuery("select."+o.className+j).val()!=this[o.f+j][o.v]){
isMatch = false;
break;
}
}
if(isMatch){
match = jQuery.merge(match,[this[o.f+num]]);
}
});
return match;
}
}
