I'm working on a form that has to show/hide based on a radio/checkbox selections. I have this half working, but I'm running into a number of errors & I'm certain that this code can be optimized/written much more efficiently.
The flow of the form needs to work based off of what checkboxes/radios are selected. I'm not entirely sure the best way to lay this out in a SO post, so Ive commented the html. If I can clarify this in anyway, I will happily do so if someone has a suggestion
In the markup below, I have added comments where I want to render the html. I have a working example of this over at JS Fiddle. You can see that here http://jsfiddle.net/gTAGG/2/

Here is the JS that I am using
// Inputs for Load & Unload
$("input[value=Load]").click(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked")){
$("#dorms, #greek,").show();
}else{
$("#dorms, #greek").hide();
}
});
$("input[value='Unload']").click(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked")){
$("#movingtruck").show();
}else{
$("#hops, #hours").hide();
}
});
// Inputs for Do you need a moving truck?
$("input[value='Yes']").click(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked")){
$("#hops, #bellhop-hours").show();
}
});
$("input[value='No']").click(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked")){
$("#hops, #bellhop-hours").show();
}
});
// Radios for "Do you live in a dorm or greekhouse?"
// Radios arent hiding when selecting "nogreek" Check on radios.
$("input[value='Greek']").click(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked")){
$("#dorms, #greek").show();
}else{
$("#dorms, #greek, #hops").hide();
}
});
$("input[value='NoGreek']").click(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked")){
$("#hops, #hours").show();
}else{
$("#dorms, #greek").hide();
}
});
And a tiny bit of CSS
/* Hiding form elements */
#greek, #dorm-selector, #hops, #dorms, #hidden, #movingtruck, #bellhop-hours{
display:none;
}
I have a work in progress fiddle which does something similar to yours (well, show and hide and add elements) You can check it out here: http://jsfiddle.net/Hux2L/
A question here: i'm not quite sure about your load and unload and do you want to show and hide accordingly? from what i see, after i clicked on something, something will show up but some won't show anything. ;) it's like a surprise game.
EDIT:
You can give the 2 checkboxes an ID each:
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes" value="Load" id="load">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes" value="Unload" id="unload">
Then you can specify the condition as :
if ($('#load').is(':checked ')&&$('#unload').is(':checked')){
//do what you want here
$('#dorms').hide();
$('#movingtruck').show();
}

$("#item1").change(function() {

displayitem1').text($('option:selected').attr('data-item1'));
}).change();
$("#item2").change(function() {
$('#price-displayItem2').text($('option:selected').attr('data-item2'));
}).change();
then here are the spans which will be chaged
<span id="price-displayItem1"></span>
<span id="price-displayItem2"></span>
Then here is the actual Select input
<div class="col-sm-3">
<label for="item1" style="color:black;">item1</label>

</select>
</div>
</div>
Note: the id's and name's in actuality are only using string characters
Explanation: so basically It works for the first item/dropdown/span. But when I introduce a second or even third, then only the first one works properly. If i remove the code of the first. Then the second one begins to work but still not the third. and so on.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Well you use an option selector so you select all the options on the page.
$('option:selected').attr('data-item1')
so you need to look for the options in the select that you are using
$(this).find('option:selected').attr('data-item1')
You forgot to use selector before option.
$("#item1").change(function() {
$('#price-displayitem1').text($('#item1 option:selected').attr('data-item1'));
}).change();
$("#item2").change(function() {
$('#price-displayItem2').text($('#item2 option:selected').attr('data-item2'));
}).change();

I have 2 radio buttons which when I click on one of them I get dropdown menu where must choose amount.
So far I was able to make it check/unchek them but the problem is that when I uncheck the radio button dropdown doesn't hide again.
I'm not very good in javascript so please help on this one. Here is the part of code
<div class="radio">
<label><input type="radio" autocomplete="off" id="paypal" name="paypal"></label> PayPal
</div>
<div class="radio">
<label><input type="radio" autocomplete="off" name="bank" id="bank"></label> Bank
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<span id="paypalamount" style="display:none">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for="price"></label>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon">$</span>
<select id="paypalamount" required="required" class="form-control">
<option selected value="50">50</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</span>
<span id="bankamount" style="display:none">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for="price">Please Choose Amount to Deposit</label>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon">$</span>
<select id="bankamount" required="required" class="form-control">
<option selected value="50">50</option>
<option value="100">100</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</span>
Here is JS
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#paypal").change(function(){
var showOrHide =$(this).is(':checked');
$("#paypalamount").toggle(showOrHide);
$('[name="description"]').toggleClass('#paypalamount',showOrHide )
});
$("#bank").change(function(){
var showOrHide =$(this).is(':checked');
$("#bankamount").toggle(showOrHide);
$('[name="description"]').toggleClass('#bankamount',showOrHide )
});
$("input[type='radio']").click(function()
{
var previousValue = $(this).attr('previousValue');
var name = $(this).attr('name');
if (previousValue == 'checked')
{
$(this).removeAttr('checked');
$(this).attr('previousValue', false);
}
else
{
$("input[name="+name+"]:radio").attr('previousValue', false);
$(this).attr('previousValue', 'checked');
}
});
});
And this is working demo of the code above JSFIDDLE
$(document).ready(function() {
$(":radio[name=bankpaypal]").change(function() {
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
var name = $(this).attr('id')
$('span').hide()
$('span#' + name + 'amount').show()
}
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="radio">
<label>
<input type="radio" autocomplete="off" id="paypal" name="bankpaypal">
</label>PayPal
</div>
<div class="radio">
<label>
<input type="radio" autocomplete="off" name="bankpaypal" id="bank">
</label>Bank
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<span id="paypalamount" style="display:none">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for="price"></label>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon">$</span>
<select id="paypalamount1" required="required" class="form-control">
<option selected value="50">50</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</span>
<span id="bankamount" style="display:none">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for="price">Please Choose Amount to Deposit</label>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon">$</span>
<select id="bankamount1" required="required" class="form-control">
<option selected value="50">50</option>
<option value="100">100</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
Name of radio button should be same to select only 1
ID should be unique
Get the selected radio button and show its counter select using its ID since they are similar
Use following code to check whether a radio button is checked or not
if($("input:radio[name=paypal]:checked").val())
alert("checked");
else
alert("Not checked");
Do your process of hiding and showing inside the if else conditions.
You only need to check for the value of a RadioButton as not checked. If unchecked set the style attribute display:none for the respective dropdown again in Javascript.
Just like you do it for the checked-Status of the RadioButton and just change the condition and the actions like you want the RadioButtons to behave.
This is my HTML form structure:
EDIT: Each section is generated by PHP script, and the section id will change depending on user input. I am not able to use the whole selector because of this
<section id="JaneDoe">
<div class="gcolumn1">Jane Doe</div>
<div class="gcolumn2">Color:
<input type="radio" name="chk_clr[]" id="chk_clr[]" value="Y">Yellow
<input type="radio" name="chk_clr[]" id="chk_clr[]" value="R">Rose
<br>Food:
<input type="radio" name="JaneDoe-chk_food[]" id="chk_food[]" value="Y">Yes
<input type="radio" name="JaneDoe-chk_food[]" id="chk_food[]" value="N">No</div>
<div class="gcolumn3">
<select id="Meal[]" disabled>
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Chicken">Chicken</option>
<option value="Beef">Beef</option>
<option value="Vegetarian">Vegetarian</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
</div>
<div style="clear: both; height: 5px;"> </div>
<section id="JohnSmith">
<div class="gcolumn1">JohnSmith</div>
<div class="gcolumn2">Color:
<input type="radio" name="chk_clr[]" id="chk_clr[]" value="Y">Yellow
<input type="radio" name="chk_clr[]" id="chk_clr[]" value="R">Rose
<br>Food:
<input type="radio" name="JohnSmith-chk_food[]" id="chk_food[]" value="Y">Yes
<input type="radio" name="JohnSmith-chk_food[]" id="chk_food[]" value="N">No</div>
<div class="gcolumn3">
<select id="Meal[]" disabled>
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Chicken">Chicken</option>
<option value="Beef">Beef</option>
<option value="Vegetarian">Vegetarian</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
</div>
<div style="clear: both; height: 5px;"> </div>
</section>
I'd like for the dropdown Meal[] to be enabled only after the chk_food[] is selected as yes. However, I am having some trouble figuring out how to tell jQuery to enable only the dropdown box within the same section.
I currently have this as the jQuery: (I added the alert boxes to see which part of the code is not working)
var update_meal = function () {
alert ("Hi");
var sec_id = $(this).closest("section").attr("id");
alert (text(sec_id));
if ($(sec_id + "> #chk_food[]").is(":checked")) {
$(sec_id + "> #Meal[]").prop('disabled', false);
} else {
$(sec_id + "> #Meal[]").prop('disabled', 'disabled');
}
};
$(update_meal);
$("#chk_food[]").change(update_meal);
When I tried to run this on JSFiddle, no bugs show up, but the coding doesn't work at all.
I see the alert box popping up with "Hi" as soon as the document loads
Thank you for your help
You can't have multiple elements on the same page with the same ID. It is invalid HTML and it will confuse your code terribly. To get this to work, you first need to use classes to find things:
<section>
<div class="gcolumn1">JohnSmith</div>
<div class="gcolumn2">Color:
<input type="radio" name="chk_clr[]" value="Y">Yellow
<input type="radio" name="chk_clr[]" value="R">Rose
<br>Food:
<input type="radio" name="JohnSmith-chk_food[]" class="chk_food yes" value="Y">Yes
<input type="radio" name="JohnSmith-chk_food[]" class="chk_food no" value="N">No
</div>
<div class="gcolumn3">
<select name="Meal[]" class="meal" disabled>
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Chicken">Chicken</option>
<option value="Beef">Beef</option>
<option value="Vegetarian">Vegetarian</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
</div>
<div style="clear: both; height: 5px;"> </div>
</section>
Then you can start to target things correctly. Something like this:
$(".chk_food").on("change", function() {
$(this)
.closest("SECTION")
.find("SELECT.meal")
.prop("disabled", $(this).is(".no"));
});
In this case, we bind the change handler on both the Yes and No food radios. The handler will be called for the one the user clicks on, so they are inherently turning that one "on". So we find the parent section, and then the meal select within it, and set its disabled property to true if this is the .yes radio and false if this is the .no radio.
I think that should do it.

I have the following html which has two forms with form id=cardpayment for first form and form id="intenetpayment" for the second.
Also I have 3 radio buttons named "Debit card","Credit Card","Internet Banking".
All I want to do is,when I select the radio button Debitcard or Credit card,form with id="cardpayment" should be shown and the other form should be hidden and when i click on Internetbanking radio button , form with id="cardpayment" should be hidden and form with id="internetpayment" should be shown. Im new to jquery and javascript.I checked online that this can be done using a css by adding/removing a css class
{
display:none;
}
But i dont know how to make it work using javascript.
You can find the fiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/d5qDb/1/

internetpayment.style.display = 'none';// hide
}
else if(val == 'radio3'){
cardpayment.style.display = 'none';
internetpayment.style.display = 'block';
}
}
}

Try this, using jQuery Onchange
$("#radio1, #radio2").on("change", function(){
$("#cardpayment").show();
$("#internetpayment").hide();
});
$("#radio3").on("change", function(){
$("#cardpayment").hide();
$("#internetpayment").show();
});
I added this JavaScript code into your JSFiddel to create that effect
$('#radio1').change(function() {
if(this.checked) {
$('#cardpayment').show();
$('#internetpayment').hide();
}
});
$('#radio2').change(function() {
if(this.checked) {
$('#internetpayment').show();
$('#cardpayment').hide();
}
});
Your jQuery code should look something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#internet_radio').on('click', function(){
$('#cardpayment').hide();
$('#internetpayment').show();
})
$('#debit_radio').on('click', function(){
$('#cardpayment').show();
$('#internetpayment').hide();
})
})
Don't forget to load jQuery libraries to make this work.
Also the next time you need this type of functionality, you could use this. You don't really have to load their css files, only the js libraries, and you can style your tabs as you like.
Pretty simple. Just do this:
$("#radio1, #radio2").on("click", function(){
$("#cardpayment").show();
$("#internetpayment").hide();
});
$("#radio3").on("click", function(){
$("#cardpayment").hide();
$("#internetpayment").show();
});
You must write a function that 'shows' the corresponding part of the form depending on what the user has selected. For example, if 'Pizza' is selected, the div #section2 with the question about Pizza type should be shown.
This is part of the html code
<form id="survey" action="#" method="post">
<div id="section1">
<label for="food">What is your favourite type of food?</label>
<select id="food" onchange="selection()">
<option value="pizza">Pizza</option>
<option value="mex">Mexican</option>
<option value="thai">Thai</option>
</select>
</div>
<div id="section2">
What is your favourite type of pizza?<br>
<label for="hawaiian">Hawaiian</label><input type="radio" id="hawaiian">
<label for="supreme">Supreme</label><input type="radio" id="supreme">
<label for="vegetarian">Vegetarian</label><input type="radio" id="vegetarian">
</div>
How would i write a javascript function so that when I click the option pizza, it will display section 2? I'm a complete javascript novice so any help would be great.
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/iambriansreed/rQr6v/
JavaScript:
var sections = {
'pizza': 'section2',
'mex': 'section3',
'thai': 'section4'
};
var selection = function(select) {
for(i in sections)
document.getElementById(sections[i]).style.display = "none";
document.getElementById(sections[select.value]).style.display = "block";
}
Checkout the demo. Replace the section3 and section4 divs with actual content.
There are plenty of solutions for that. One of the simpliest options is to change your markup a bit and use div IDs.
HTML:
<div id="section1">
<label for="food">What is your favourite type of food?</label>
<select id="food" onchange="selection(this)">
<option value="pizza">Pizza</option>
<option value="mex">Mexican</option>
<option value="thai">Thai</option>
</select>
</div>
<div id="section_pizza" style="display: none;">
What is your favourite type of pizza?<br>
<label for="hawaiian">Hawaiian</label><input type="radio" id="hawaiian">
<label for="supreme">Supreme</label><input type="radio" id="supreme">
<label for="vegetarian">Vegetarian</label><input type="radio" id="vegetarian">
</div>
JavaScript:
function selection(select) {
document.getElementById("section_" + select.value).style.display = "block";
}
However, you can use JQuery library and make it faster and more flexible. You can easily add animation to blocks and add extra functionality.
HTML:
<div id="section1">
<label for="food">What is your favourite type of food?</label>
<select id="food">
<option value="pizza">Pizza</option>
<option value="mex">Mexican</option>
<option value="thai">Thai</option>
</select>
</div>
<div id="section2" data-type="pizza" style="display: none;">
What is your favourite type of pizza?<br>
<label for="hawaiian">Hawaiian</label><input type="radio" id="hawaiian">
<label for="supreme">Supreme</label><input type="radio" id="supreme">
<label for="vegetarian">Vegetarian</label><input type="radio" id="vegetarian">
</div>
JavaScript:
$("#food").change(function() {
$("[data-type]").hide();
$("[data-type='" + this.value + "']").show(1000);
});
