this is a classic question but can't find the best approach. I have a dropdown with id project_billing_code_id and 3 values (1, 2, 3).
If value selected = 1 then show div with id one and only this one. div two and three must be hidden.
I also want to make this happen when view is loaded so not only on change.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#hourly").hide();
$("#per_diem").hide();
$("#fixed").hide();
$("#project_billing_code_id").change(function() {
if ($("#project_billing_code_id").val() == '1') {
$("#hourly").show();
}
else if ($("#project_billing_code_id").val() == '2') {
$("#per_diem").show();
}
else if ($("#project_billing_code_id").val() == '3') {
$("#fixed").show();
}
else {
$("#hourly").hide();
$("#per_diem").hide();
$("#fixed").hide();
}
});
});
You were close. You probably want a few small tweaks to the behaviours to make sure all the divs hide and that correct div is showing on page load.
Have a play with the code here: http://jsfiddle.net/irama/ZFzrA/2/
Or grab the updated JS code here:
hideAllDivs = function () {
$("#hourly, #per_diem, #fixed").hide();
};
handleNewSelection = function () {
hideAllDivs();
switch ($(this).val()) {
case '1':
$("#hourly").show();
break;
case '2':
$("#per_diem").show();
break;
case '3':
$("#fixed").show();
break;
}
};
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#project_billing_code_id").change(handleNewSelection);
// Run the event handler once now to ensure everything is as it should be
handleNewSelection.apply($("#project_billing_code_id"));
});
Let us know how you go!
dont use hide from document.ready as it has to wait for the dom to load. Add an inline style="display:none;"
drop the $("#project_billing_code_id") assignments inside your if statement and use this instead as you already have access to the dom element via the event handler, use $(this).val() or this.val(). Also make your code reusable so you can call it from different scripts.
var PayRate = (function(){
var _obj = {};
var hideShow = function(elem){
if($(elem).val() === '1'){
$("#hourly").show();
}else if($(elem).val() === '2'){
$("#per_diem").show();
}else if($(elem).val() === '3'){
$("#fixed").show();
}else{
$("#hourly, #fixed, #per_diem").hide();
}
};
_obj.checkValue = function(){
hideShow($('#project_billing_code_id'))
};
var events = function(){
$('#project_billing_code_id').change(function(){
hideShow(this);
});
};
$(document).ready(function(){
events ();
checkValue ();
});
return _obj;
}());
I have not tested the above so you might need to make a few changes. I think you get the idea though. :)
Working Fiddle
This is how i made this worked for me.
JS
$(document).ready(function (e) {
$('#reasonDropDown').change(function () {
if ($(this).val() == 'other') {
$('.otherReasonTextBox').show();
} else {
$('.otherReasonTextBox').hide();
}
});
});
CSS
.otherReasonTextBox {
display:none;
}
HTML
<select id="reasonDropDown" name="Select">
<option>Select One</option>
<option>Select Two</option>
<option>Select Three</option>
<option value="other" id="other">Other</option>
</select>
<div class="otherReasonTextBox">Other Reason Textbox</div>
Hide and show div tag using jquery
$(document).ready(function() {
setOptions(); // on load
$('#Drodown_id').change(setOptions); // on change
function setOptions() {
switch ($("#Drodown_id").val()) {
case "option_1" :
$("#div1").show();
$('#div2').hide();
break;
case "option_2":
$("#div1").hide();
$("#div2").show();
break;
case "option_3":
$("#div1").show();
$("#div2").show();
break;
case "":
$("#div1").hide();
$("#div2").hide();
break;
}
});
});
