Except like in my last post i try to get 2 of those "other" options that create a textfield. added a $('#li_10').hide(); line to hide the 2nd line i want hidden. i basically did the same for the script. ppasted a 2nd version of the function showTextBox() with the corretc lines into the same script. weird thing is, only the 2nd other option works. the same happens when i create 2 seperate script codes.

Do i just need to copy paste the <script> and the documenet ready hide function? (1 time the element markup is enough right?) Thats what i tried so far, except that i somehow cant seem to get the paragraph text boxes to be hidden from the start anymore, and i only get 1 dropdownbox working (the text box does dissapear when i select a non text box option) any idea's? sendedge on "drop down with other option" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-with-other-option#post-6530 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:17:31 +0000 sendedge 6530@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I'm also trying to create a field hide/show depending on a radio button (multiple choice). I will try this. Though, the question I have is this... Does this mean that the custom application of the hide/show will carry over to every other form too because dont they all share the view-functions.php file? redityo on "drop down with other option" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-with-other-option#post-6087 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:46:49 +0000 redityo 6087@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hmm it seems you've set the wrong id. In your form you have drop down id = 4 and text box id = 6, then java script code should be like this : <pre><code><script type="text/javascript"> {$add_jquery} function showTextBox() { //reset text box value $('#element_6').val(''); //show hide the field //change the value based on your "other" selection value if ($('#element_4').val() == '7') { $('#li_6').show(); } else { $('#li_6').hide(); } } </script></code></pre> and make sure you set this code : <pre><code>$_GET['id'] == 1</code></pre> to <pre><code>$_GET['id'] == 4</code></pre> ptrptr on "drop down with other option" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-with-other-option#post-6084 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 03:11:27 +0000 ptrptr 6084@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Here is demo page I am testing. <a href="http://www.pharmedixrx.com/machform/view.php?id=4" rel="nofollow">http://www.pharmedixrx.com/machform/view.php?id=4</a> I made all the change above. It seems Java Script is not working! ptrptr on "drop down with other option" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-with-other-option#post-6083 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 02:18:28 +0000 ptrptr 6083@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I follow your instruction but It did not work. Here is another way to look at it. My form has more than 10 field using drop down choice. Currently All field has 6 choices. Order 5 Order 10 Order 15 Order 20 Order 25 Order 30 I want to add 7th choice to be "Other" Order 5 Order 10 Order 15 Order 20 Order 25 Order 30 Other When I choose "other", I want to have a new text field to enter any number outside of my choice in the same field. Is your solution work as I described? redityo on "drop down with other option" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-with-other-option#post-5552 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:54:55 +0000 redityo 5552@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I think you can put a "text box" for another order number and show when the user select "other". To do this You need to hack some code to machform files , let's say you have form id = 1 with these element : - order choice field [ element id = 1] --> I assume "other" selection value is "2" - text box field [element id = 2] After that you should edit "includes/view-functions.php" file, try to following these steps : 1. Go to around line 648 ~ 647, you will see these code : <pre><code>$element_markup = <<<EOT <li id="li_{$element->id}" {$error_class}> <label class="description" for="element_{$element->id}">{$element->title} {$span_required}</label> <div> <select class="element select {$element->size}" id="element_{$element->id}" name="element_{$element->id}" > {$option_markup} </select> </div>{$guidelines} {$error_message} </li> EOT;</code></pre> replace with <pre><code>if ($_GET['id'] == 1) { $add_event = 'onchange="javascript:showTextBox()"'; } $element_markup = <<<EOT <li id="li_{$element->id}" {$error_class}> <label class="description" for="element_{$element->id}">{$element->title} {$span_required}</label> <div> <select class="element select {$element->size}" id="element_{$element->id}" name="element_{$element->id}" {$add_event}> {$option_markup} </select> </div>{$guidelines} {$error_message} </li> EOT;</code></pre> 2. Go to around line 1833 ~ 1834, you will see this <pre><code>//If you would like to remove the "Powered by MachForm" link,.. $form_markup = <<<EOT</code></pre> put the code above that line <pre><code>if ($_GET['id'] == 1) { $add_jquery =" $(document).ready(function() { $('#li_1').hide(); }); "; }</code></pre> 3. And finally :) go to line 1841, you will see this <pre><code><script type="text/javascript" src="js/view.js"></script></code></pre> then add these code, bellow that line <pre><code><script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/jquery-core.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> {$add_jquery} function showTextBox() { //reset text box value $('#element_1').val(''); //show hide the field //change the value based on your "other" selection value if ($('#element_2').val() == '2') { $('#li_1').show(); } else { $('#li_1').hide(); } } </script></code></pre> ptrptr on "drop down with other option" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-with-other-option#post-5546 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 04:08:54 +0000 ptrptr 5546@https://www.machform.com/forums/ My forms are setup as drop down choice. I want to add "other" end of the choice so I don't have to create long drop down list. The "other" allow user to enter desire order ## outside of the list of choice. Can this be done? order 5 order 10 order 15 order 20 "other"
