Formbuilder - Additional field based on selection

Post by katea »

Hi guys,

Hope you can help!

I need a form that activates hidden content based on selection of say a drop down menu.

Basically, if I have a drop down, and I select Dark Colours, once selected it then shows me a selection of dark colours in the form of a check box group containing say Black, Brown, Charcoal and if I selected Light Colours, it would show me White, Yellow and Orange ....

Is this possible? Can someone please help?

Thank you! ;o)

Didn't explain that to well

I basically need a dropdown or similar to open another part of the form which is hidden until called.

Choosing the relevant results based on selection.

So .. Dropdown ... Select Colour ...

Dark Colours Selected .... Dark Colours checkbox area with dark colours now shows.

Anyone? ;o)

I'm not particularly experienced in the use of FormBuilder, but I would assume that the additional element(s) would need to be pre-configured when constructing the form. Without any further intervention, those additional (and conflicting) elements would appear in the form when it is displayed, but the use of, say, jQuery to hide everything that is not required, then display the correct element as a result of changing the control element, would be the solution.

That, unfortunately, is as far as I've got in my deliberations!

Thanks for taking the time to reply Jan.

I kinda figured that was the only way to go ...

Couldn't find anything else on the forums relevant.

I once again thank you for your time ;o)

You're welcome ;)

It seems to me that FormBuilder gives several options to include specific code/javascript to be attached to individual elements and, while it might be time-consuming, you might come up with an example that would be worth adding to the forum.

If I find out anything more, I shall post here.
