For this portion of code
<label for="gender">I am:</label>
<select class="select" name="sex" id="sex">
<option value="0">Gender:</option>
<option value="1">Female</option>
<option value="2">Male</option>
</select>
W3C Validator giving this error reference to non-existent ID "gender"
How to solve this?
Edit
Getting here also
reference to non-existent ID "birthday"
<label for="birthday" class="birthday">Birthday:</label>
<div class="field_container">
<select name="birthday_month" id="birthday_month" class="">
<option value="-1">Month:</option>
<option value="1">Jan</option>
<option value="2">Feb</option>
<option value="3">Mar</option>
</select>
<select id="birthday_day" name="birthday_day">
<option value="-1">Day:</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
<select id="birthday_year" name="birthday_year">
<option value="-1">Year:</option>
<option value="2010">2010</option>
<option value="2009">2009</option>
<option value="2008">2008</option>
</select>
</div>
Change the value of the for attribute in the label element:
<label for="sex">I am:</label>
Edit to add:
Your second example is more complicated, because you're using one label for three input fields.
I'd recommend something like the following:
Add the following CSS rule to your site:
.hidden_label {
font-size:1px;
height:0;
line-height:0;
margin:0 0 0 -1000px;
text-indent:-9999px;
}
Then update your form:
<div class="birthday">Birthday:</div>
<div class="field_container">
<label for="birthday_month" class="hidden_label">Birthday Month</label>
<select name="birthday_month" id="birthday_month" class="">
<option value="-1">Month:</option>
<option value="1">Jan</option>
<option value="2">Feb</option>
<option value="3">Mar</option>
</select>
<label for="birthday_day" class="hidden_label">Birthday Day</label>
<select id="birthday_day" name="birthday_day">
[...]
</select>
<label for="birthday_year" class="hidden_label">Birthday Year</label>
<select id="birthday_year" name="birthday_year">
[...]
</select>
You want to do two things:
Have a visually appealing form for your users, and then for those users that are using assistive technology, provide some additional helpers along the way. Using the CSS class I defined above, you are ensuring that screen readers will still see the elements and read their contents when the user moves into the form elements, while hiding all the additional labels from the visual site.
There is no id="gender" or name="gender". You are using sex. Either use sex or use gender. Keep it consistent.

Firefox 59.0 Project MVC.NET. Use https://select2.github.io js lib for select elements
On the View there are many elements such as:
<div class="control control_medium control_select">
<select name="#nameof(Model.Query.BudgetCycleIds)"
#Html.AjaxViewSubmitOnChange()
#Html.AsugfAutoComplete()
multiple="multiple">
<option value="0">Все</option>
#foreach (var budgetCycle in Model.BudgetCycles)
{
<option value="#budgetCycle.Id" #(Model.Query.BudgetCycleIds?.Contains(budgetCycle.Id) ?? false ? "selected" : "")>#budgetCycle.Name</option>
}
</select>
</div>
Same in the html:
<select name="BudgetCycleIds" ajaxview-submit-onchange="" asugf-select2="" multiple="" tabindex="-1" class="select2-hidden-accessible" aria-hidden="true">
<option value="0">Все</option>
<option value="13" selected="">2010 - 2012</option>
<option value="14">2011 - 2013</option>
<option value="9">2012 - 2014</option>
<option value="5">2013 - 2015</option>
<option value="6">2014 - 2016</option>
<option value="7">2015 - 2017</option>
<option value="1">2016 - 2018</option>
<option value="2">2017 - 2019</option>
<option value="4">2018 - 2020</option>
</select>
Normal UI (before loading):
Not normal UI (in a second after loading):
Normal UI (in two second after loading):
The other browsers are the same, but very fast, and the user does not see the interface jumps.
How to make sure that the wrong interface does not appear
Not a good solution (because the layout is "jumps")
add hidden class
<option class="hidden" value="0">Все</option>
#foreach (var budgetCycle in Model.BudgetCycles)
{
<option class="hidden" value="#budgetCycle.Id" #(Model.Query.BudgetCycleIds?.Contains(budgetCycle.Id) ?? false ? "selected" : "")>#budgetCycle.Name</option>
}
I have a form built using contact form 7. I have 2 selects.
The first selects a number 1-7. It also has an option for "Not Started". If, an only if, "Not Started" is selected, then the second select should be made visible.
Select 1 = number
Select 2 = startYear
startYear is hidden to begin with.
If number option is selected as "Not started" then startYear select appears
Both fields should be required when visible. And startYear should be reset if number is changed to a different value
Below is what I have and it operates mostly as it should except for a couple of things. Primarily the fields are not required and can be submitted blank. Also, while the second select correctly appears and disappears, the value is not reset.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

I am using a multiselect box in JSP(Spring MVC).I have Three options in the multiselect. No CSS used for the size. but I am getting the multiselect size oversized. I just need the exact size with no extra spaces in it.
Please refer below for the code:
<select id="test" name="test" multiple="multiple">
<option value="test1">test1</option>
<option value="test2">test2</option>
<option value="test3">test3</option>
</select>
The output contains some space under test3 which is not required. is there a way to eliminate that extra space?
NOTE: No CSS is used with the id.
Why not just set the height of the select via CSS?
select {
height: 45px;
}
<select id="test" name="test" multiple="multiple">
<option value="test1">test1</option>
<option value="test2">test2</option>
<option value="test3">test3</option>
</select>
On a select dropdown, I need to make certain items 'strong/bold'.
How can I do this?
Example of what I ideally require:
<option value="#"><strong>Andorra</strong></option>
<option value="#">--Grandvalira</option>
<option value="#">--Vallnord</option>
<option value="#"><strong>Austria</strong></option>
<option value="#">--Amadé</option>
<option value="#">--Bad Kleinkirchheim</option>
<option value="#">--Mallnitz</option>
You actually can't.
The closest thing (you can't choose a bold item)
<optgroup label="Swedish Cars">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="German Cars">
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</optgroup>
Which gives you this:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_optgroup
You can also build one of your own but it won't be input an input tag (you should use inputs of your own).
you could use :nth-child(N)
option:nth-child(1), option:nth-child(4) {
font-weight:bold;
}

Find more info and browser support for this pseudo-class at http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/pseudoclass-nthchild
Using css in the works as a quicker, easier alternative
<option value="value" style="font-weight: bold;">SELECT ME</option>
You could do it with jQuery.
$('#Your select').append($("<option></option>").attr.css("font-weight" , "bold").html("Bold Text"));
You'd have to add some logic to determine which options to bold, obviously.
This also works (Firefox 50 and Chrome 55). Items 3 and 5 are shown in bold
<style>
.bld {font-weight:bold;}
</style>
<select>
<option value = "1">Kanakangi
<option value = "2">Ratnangi
<option class = "bld" value = "8">Hanumatthodi
<option value = "9">Dhenuka
<option class = "bld" value = "15">Mayamalavagowla
<option value = "16">Chakravaaham
</select>
In functions php, this works like a charm:
<textarea name="menu1anchor" id="menu1anchor" cols="40" rows="1"><?php echo get_option('menu1anchor'); ?></textarea>
How can i make this drop down list work? I want to be able to input my values and select a desired one later on.
Right now, it does not matter which value I select, after i press "save changes" it does not send my value thru the form to wordpress options.
<select name="menu1" id="menu1">
<option value="1">Microsoft</option>
<option value="2">Google</option>
<option value="3">Apple</option>
</select>
Thank u!
<select name="menu1" id="menu1">
<option value="1"<?php selected(get_option('menu1'),1); ?>>Microsoft</option>
<option value="2"<?php selected(get_option('menu1'),2); ?>>Google</option>
<option value="3"<?php selected(get_option('menu1'),3); ?>>Apple</option>
</select>
Try that instead.
