PS Panel: How can execute actions from a Select box (dropdown menu)?

[Rocazoom]

I need some help with this. Want to create a Photoshop Panel with a Dropdown menu wich is just a Select Box with different options,

each option must to execute an action. Couldn't found examples, an starting point. I know the basics, how to export the actions to Js, but

what to use to link those options from the html to the jsx file?

Eg:

<select>

<option selected>Action 1</option>

<option>Action 2</option>

<option>Action 3</option>

</select>

Thank you.

Hi,

see this for an example using jQuery:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11179406/jquery-get-value-of-select-onchange

Then you can use the function to call some JSX:

$('select').on('change', function() {   
    evalScript('yourJSXFunction("' + this.value + '")') // just an example
});

Hope this helps,

Many thanks,

I was trying to make it work without much luck.
I've tried too many ways and the most closer is this:

HTML

	<select onchange="getval(this);">
	<option selected>CHOOSE ACTION</option>
	<option value="DoAction1">Action 1</option>
	<option value="DoAction2">Action 2</option>

    </select>

JS

var csInterface = new CSInterface();

function init() {

themeManager.init();

$('select').on('change', function() {  csInterface.evalScript( this.value() ); });

That does NOT work, but changing it for this it works fine (only with that particular action 1):

$('select').on('change', function() {  csInterface.evalScript('DoAction1()'); });

_____________________________

So, I know that the onchange is working, but I don't know why using (this.value()) isn't working, it just does nothing.

Thanks in advance!

You can try this without jQuery:

HTML

<select id="MyActions" size="1">
     <option value="Action1">Action 1</option>
     <option value="Action2">Action 2</option>
</select>

JS

var csi = new CSInterface(),
    selectedAction = window.document.getElementById("MyActions").value;

csi.evalScript('startScript("'+selectedAction+'")');
