TOPIC: Can a drop-down list decide which fields to show?

Can a drop-down list decide which fields to show? 3 years, 6 months ago #4019

Hi everyone,

I just got started with RSform!Pro and am really impressed with what it can do. Now I need your help in figuring out how to do something a little different.

I want to have a drop down list at the top of a form that will have two options, 'Individual' and 'Business'. I want the user's selection to determine what fields to display below. For example, if they select 'Business', then a business name field will appear, but if they select 'Individual' a first and last name field will appear.

I have no idea whether this can be done or not. Any ideas? Anyone already done it with a script or something?

Thanks,
Adam

Into your forms, add in additionnal attributes a :
onchange =\"javascript:calledmyfunction(my_list_result_insert_here)\"

Go to script display and add a javascript function who use getByelementid and visibility process.

Your answer is into javascript maybe. You have the way...

Dragon, merci bien de votre aide. (sorry if that's wrong, it's been quite a few years since I studied French).

Can you give us an example of what this JavaScript might look like?

Thanks

Into additional attributes of select list :
onchange=\"javascript:hidesection();\"


Into layout add 
<div id=\"hidefirst\" style=\"display:none;\"> your part to hide </div>


Into script display :
$formlayout .= 'insert here the javascript code of your choice';


function hidesection() {

document.getElementById('hidefirst').style.display = \"none\";

I am interested in the same, as Luxx is pointing out, where does this info need to go to make it work.?

Instead of a select box, I work with radio buttons.

I'm looking arround more of three days without result.
i'm interesting about this function with drop-down menu, for example:

Dropdown1: select options
option1
option2
option3

Dropdown2: select options (this drop-down must apeer only if user select the option1 from Drop-down1)
option1a
option2a
option3a

Dropdown3: select options (this drop-down must apeer only if user select the option1a from Drop-down2)
option1aa
option2aa
option3aa

Dropdown4: select options (this drop-down must apeer only if user select the option2 from Drop-down1)
option1b
option2b
option3b
...and so on...

i'll appreciate if some body give us a valide example for new users who don't have javascripts knowlenght.

thanks<br><br>Post edited by: charalampos.vrochopoulos, at: 2008/10/19 10:21

Has anyone managed to get it working- I need the exact same thing as described....

And as with previous posters, I have very limited Javascript knowledge, so if possible, could someone please illustrate a working example based on the explanation in previous posts- would be much appreciated...

Thanks in advance...

I hope you don't take this as being disrespectful, but you might want to forego the javascript and simply design two separate surveys, one for business users and another one for personal users. I banged out a really quick script to do something similar for a survey I'm designing. The script works well, but when I test it with Javascript turned off, the survey is all but useless. Frankly, I'd rather not offend my beta users by sending them a useless survey!!

The thing is that I have som many variables to consider and it would be much userfriendly if it could all be in one form, however thank you for pointing that \&quot;Javascript turned off\&quot; thing out... You have a point there and it made me think twice about trying to find a solution for this, since it's going to be somewhat cruicial for the form to work as I will take registrations for Judo competitions and I if some entries are missed it is going to cause a huge problem later on...
So thnks and I will consider using separate forms for separate categories...

Re:Can a drop-down list decide which fields to show? 3 years ago #6408

Hi everyone,

I have this working fine in IE but in Firefox it doesn't hide the parts of the form you want hidden. Apparently style="display: none" doesn't work in Firefox.

This is basically what I am using. Any ideas what could be changed to make it work in Firefox as well?


<script language="javascript">
function changeTab(currentTab,totalTabs)
{
  for (i=1;i<=totalTabs;i++){
    document.getElementById('tab'+i).style.display='none';
  }
  document.getElementById('tab'+currentTab).style.display='';
}
</script>
<table border="0"id="tab1">


<table border="0" id="tab2" style="display: none">



Help, anyone?

Thanks,
Adam

Re:Can a drop-down list decide which fields to show? 1 year, 9 months ago #10392

I'm looking for exactly what this posting originally asked -

dropdown1
option1
option2
option3

dropdown2 (used if user selects option1 only)
option1a
option1b
option1c

dropdown3 (used if user selectes option2 only)
option2a
option2b
option2c

etc

I realize creating a new form would work, but in this case I have to have everything on one form and it needs to function in this way per client.

I'm posting this because the link provided above is not found / deleted. Can you please repost this or provide some insight?

Thanks

The link posted in this doesn't work. I am trying to do the same thing where the answer to one question will dynamically "reveal" another child question.

I have been trying to work with the documentation via www.rsjoomla.com/customer-support/docume...-or-hide-fields.html to make this work but I must be missing something as I cannot get an example of this to work.

One more thing....is this something that is easier to accomplish in RSForm Pro or will it work ok in RSForm? I ask as I only have RSForm.

I have submitted two trouble tickets on this matter and will report back once a viable solution is identified.

thanks
