I'm trying to have a default empty value for my dropdown lists, so users need to select a specific choice.

I've used the code of this tread : //toolset.com/forums/topic/blank-field-in-taxonomy-dropdown/

I've added it into the javascript form box and tried with and without 'wpcf-' but it doesn't work.

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
jQuery("select[name='wpcf-pays-provinces']").prepend('<option value="">- Sélectionnez la région -</option>');
jQuery("select[name='wpcf-pays-provinces']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;
});

Here is the code of my dropdown list

<div class="cred-label">[wpml-string context="cred-logement"]Province[/wpml-string]</div>
[cred_field field='pays-provinces' display='select' single_select='true']
</div>

Thanks 🙂

Hi Catherine,

Thank you for getting in touch.

You shouldn't need to use code for this. There is a default label option.

Try using this attribute default_label="Value" to your field's shortcode.

Thanks,

Sorry for late reply!

I changed the code, but it still doens't work
[cred_field field='pays-provinces' display='select' single_select='true' default_label="Value"]

Hi Catherine,

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website so that I can have a more detailed look at this for you ?

Please where applicable please provide me with a link to an example page where I can see the issue.

I've enabled the private fields for your next response.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Catherine,

Thank you I went ahead and looked at the issue and corrected your code.

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
jQuery("select[name='pays-provinces[]']").prepend('<option value="0">- Sélectionnez la région -</option>');

jQuery("select[name='pays-provinces[]']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;
});

The above is the correct code to set the default value as well as select it.

Thanks,
Shane

I added the code and it worked, thanks 🙂

About the default_label="Value", any clue why it wasn't working?

Hi Catherine,

This was my error I initially believed this was for a view search but turns out to be for a form.

Thanks,
