I have a little problem, and an need your profesisonal...
So i have two forms in two div. DIV ID=A and DIV ID=B
When a user visit my site, a would like to offer the visitor to choose between the forms. he user see a drop down box, or two radio button, and if select option A then form A load, if B...then B..
But i don't know how to do this, and what is the best practise to do this? May i use simple html, and after choose redirect to a subpage like formA.php and formB.php? Or use Jquery and simple hide and show the needed div?
What do ya suggest? And how im a do that?
Than you.
Jquery or similiar would be the most elegant imo. something like
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
// hide the forms when page is ready
$('#a').hide();
$('#b').hide();
$('#button1').click(function(){
$('#a').show();
});
$('#button2').click(function(){
$('#b').show();
});
});
</script>
hide the forms, have 2 buttons (can be styled divs),. then when they are clicked, show the respective HTML form.
could be extended to "toggle" the forms, or only allow 1 to be selected.
problems may occur if JS is disabled however (both forms will be visible)
You can easily use a drop down to select the correct form. Here's an example
<!-- Forms HTML -->
<div id="form-A">
... html form here ....
</div>
<div id="form-B">
... another html form here ....
</div>
<!-- Hide forms initially with Javascript (visible for non Javascript users) -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#form-A, #form-B").hide();
</script>
<!-- A dropdown to select a value -->
<select id="choose-form">
<option>Please choose...</option>
<option value="form-A">Some form</option>
<option value="form-B">Another form</option>
</select>
<!-- and some simple jQuery -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#choose-form").change(function() {
//Hide -other- visible forms
$("#form-A, #form-B").hide();
$("#" + $(this).val()).show();
});
});
</script>
I would use jQuery as described by Ross then as you suggest yourself, if Javascript is turned off redirect them according to their choice.
