To delete multiple items from the list box at the same time, we cannot delete from the top to the bottom, because the above items are deleted each time, the index number of the following items will change, so we can only delete from the bottom up, so there will be no index number chaos problem.
The HTML code
The javascript code is as follows:
Of course, if you use jQuery to delete, that is convenient, a sentence is done
The HTML code
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<select id="lsbox" name="lsbox" size="10" multiple>
<option value="1">India</option>
<option value="2">United States</option>
<option value="3">China</option>
<option value="4">Italy</option>
<option value="5">Germany</option>
<option value="6">Canada</option>
<option value="7">France</option>
<option value="8">United Kingdom</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<button onclick="listbox_remove('lsbox');">Delete</button>
<button onclick="window.location.reload();">Reset</button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The javascript code is as follows:
function listbox_remove(sourceID) {
//get the listbox object from id.
var src = document.getElementById(sourceID);
//iterate through each option of the listbox
for(var count= src.options.length-1; count >= 0; count--) {
//if the option is selected, delete the option
if(src.options[count].selected == true) {
try {
src.remove(count, null);
} catch(error) {
src.remove(count);
}
}
}
}
Of course, if you use jQuery to delete, that is convenient, a sentence is done
$("#sourceId").find('option:selected').remove();
