I am trying to make a dropdown menu (as required field) with CONTACT FORM 7, which is when each option is selected, then a div that contains a certain message (different message on each options) is showing under that dropdown menu.
My Contact Form 7 select field generated code is something like this:
[select* menu-163 id:reason include_blank "I want to hire you" "I want to ask you a question" "I want to say hello"]
And these 3 sample DIVs, each of them needs to shows up when we move our selection from the first default blank option to any certain defined options:
<div id="hire" class="note">I am currently available</div>
<div id="question" class="note">Feel free to ask</div>
<div id="hello" class="note">Get in touch</div>
The jquery that I'm using:
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/showhidereason.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.note').hide();
$('#reason').change(function () {
$('.note').hide();
$('#'+$(this).val()).show();
});
});
</script>
The problem is:
It seems the jquery code can't get/recognize the ID of the select field, which is #reason
that I have defined for my CONTACT FORM 7 dropdown menu. That is why my div (hidden messages) are not showing at all when I select any of the dropdown menu option.
The jquery code above is working fine (div/hidden messages are showing up) when I try making the select field with common HTML code instead of the generated ones from Contact Form 7, but then this very select field/dropdown menu is losing the "required effect" from the contact form validation function (because it's not a Contact Form 7 generated code).
You can see the jquery code is working, as well as the "required effect" is failing at this sample webpage: http://lavertibrands.com/contact/
So, I decided to stick with the generated select field/dropdown code from Contact Form 7, but having this issue on how to make the jquery code recognize the #reason
ID in order to make the div (hidden messages) shows up.
Is there any advice for me to make those div showing up? Thank you so much in advance.
