This is dynamically loaded dropdown box from a php file. I have put a default option Select Language
But this is not displaying once the ajax elements loaded.
How can I make the select language as default even after the ajax items are loaded?
<select id="name">
<option style="display:none;" selected>Select language</option>
</select>
<?php if (isset($_GET['place']) && $_GET['place'] != '') { ?>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: {place: '<?= $_GET["place"] ?>'},
url: 'listplace.php',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (json) {
if (json.option.length) {
var $el = $("#name");
$el.empty(); // remove old options
for (var i = 0; i < json.option.length; i++) {
$el.append($('<option>',
{
value: json.option[i],
text: json.option[i]
}));
}
}else {
alert('No data found!');
}
}
});
</script>
