Make form field active / inactive dependent on previous choice - El Forum - 07-21-2012
[eluser]DannGrant[/eluser]
Hi guys,
I'm creating a form where the user has to choose from a list of items in a dropdown box.
If they choose 'other' I then want the field underneath to become active and allow them to type in their 'other' field.
Honest answer is, i don't even know where to start.
Any pointers?

HI Dann
You could use jQuery to handle this.
Code:
$('.dropdown').change(function () {
$(".other_input_field").attr("disabled", $(".other_input_field").val() == "other");
});Is this what you mean?
Regards,
Jamie
