Add a search bar for a multi-select list box on a submission form


Recommended Posts

I have a multi-select listbox in a submission form that has 30+ values.  I would like to implement a search bar just above the listbox so users can filter the list.  The user should be able to search the list, select a value, then search for another value and select it (etc) before submitting the form.  When the form is submitted, all selected values register with the submission.

Hello aschild,

To add a search bar for a multi-select listbox, what you need to do is add an HTML block before  your Multi-Select Listbox Element and put in this code:

<input type="text" id="myInput" placeholder="Search">
<script>
     document.getElementById('myInput').onkeyup = function(event) {
          var items = document.getElementsByClassName('Item');
          for (var i = items.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
               if( items.getElementsByTagName('label')[0].innerHTML.toLowerCase().indexOf( document.getElementById('myInput').value ) < 0 ) {
                    items.style.display = 'none';
               } else {
                    items.style.display = 'block';
               }
     }
}
</script>

Let me know if this helps.

@aschild You should add i-element to the items array inside the if statement.  The code below should work:
 

<input type="text" id="myInput" placeholder="Search">
<script>

     document.getElementById('myInput').onkeyup = function(event) {
          var items = document.getElementsByClassName('Item');
          for (var i = items.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
               if( items[i].getElementsByTagName('label')[0].innerHTML.toLowerCase().indexOf( document.getElementById('myInput').value ) < 0 ) {
                    items[i].style.display = 'none';
               } else {
                    items[i].style.display = 'block';
               }
     }
}
</script>
