Change select options when specified option in another select is selected
I'd like to know how to make something like this so this is the simple code:
<select id="cars">
<option value="default">Select a car</option>
<option value="bmw">BMW</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes-Benz</option>
</select>
<select id="models">
<option value="">Select a model</option>
</select>
I've seen this post how to change a selections options based on another select option selected?
but in my version I want to have those options in an Array.
var modelsBmw = ["3", "5", "7"];
var modelsAudi = ["A4", "A6", "A8"];
var modelsMercedes = ["C", "E", "S"];
so when bmw is selected, in #models I wanna have items from modelsBmw. I tried this way:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#cars").change(function() {
var val = $(this).val();
if(val=="bmw"){
$("#models").html(modelsBmw[val]);
}
else if(val=="audi"){
$("#models").html(modelsAudi[val]);
}
else if(val=="mercedes"){
$("#models").html(modelsMercedes[val]);
}
});
var modelsBmw = ["3", "5", "7"];
var modelsAudi = ["A4", "A6", "A8"];
var modelsMercedes = ["C", "E", "S"]; });
and also tried with a version without square brackets $("models").html(modelsBmw);
After trying these methods, I with my friend started trying to do that using for loop and it somehow worked, but we had a problem with appending item. I mean when we selected BMW everything was ok but then when you switched to Audi then the list was not only built with BMW elements but also Audi joined to it.

Unfortunately, he has gone to a job so I do not have access to this code version with the loop because we were working together using TeamViewer.
