    content

    =

    "form-control"

    onchange

    =

    "changeBackground()()"

  30. <div

    id

    =

    "result"

    style

    =

    "height:300px; border:0.5px solid #000; text-align:center;"

    ></

    div

    >
  31. </

    div

    >
  32. </

    div

    >
  33. <script

    src

    =

    "script.js"

    ></

    script

    >
  34. </

    body

    >
  35. </

    html

Creating JavaScript Function

This is where the main function of the application is. This code will change your background image when an image is selected in the dropdown button. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.
  1. function

    changeBackground(

    )

    {
  2. var

    choice =

    document.getElementById

    (

    'choice'

    )

    .value

    ;
  3. if

    (

    choice ==

    ""

    )

    {
  4. alert(

    "No Image Selected!"

    )

    ;
  5. }

    else

    {
  6. var

    image =

    choice;
  7. }

  8. var

    result=

    document.getElementById

    (

    'result'

    )

    ;
  9. result.removeAttribute

    (

    'style'

    )

    ;
  10. result.innerHTML

    =

    "<img src='images/"

    +

    image+

    "' width='100%' height='300px'/>"

    ;

  11. }

In the code above we just only create one method called changeBackground(). This function will change your background image every time you select an image. The code is consist of conditional statement that handle the selected image in the dropdown. After the image is selected , the data of the image will be append to the HTML page content.
