how to display current selected option when using onchange() function on select tag
hello, in my dropdown menu, i linked the option tag to a url , it goes to the url, but the the dropdown list is showing "select channel" instead of the option selected
here's the code :
<select class="form-control" id="channel_list" name="channel_list" onchange="location = this.value;">
<option value="">Select Channel</option>
@foreach(App\Channel::all() as $channel)
<option value="/threads/{{ $channel->slug }}" >
{{ $channel->name }}
</option>
@endforeach
</select>

@jlrdw it seems when i go to a specific link it refresh so the selected option is no longer selected, instead i get "select channel" , :/ (it shows the result but would be nice if even if i go to another page the selected option keep the same )

Are you using Ajax to reload just part of the page if not that's probably what you need to do.

of course if goes back to select channel. You have done nothing to tell it which entry it should be on.
perhaps something lke
<select class="form-control" id="channel_list" name="channel_list" onchange="location = this.value;">
<option value="">Select Channel</option>
@foreach(App\Channel::all() as $channel)
<option value="/threads/{{ $channel->slug }}"
@if (request()->is('threads/' . $channel->slug)) selected @endif
>
{{ $channel->name }}
</option>
@endforeach
</select>
