Hide Form Group Until Select Item
#1

On my Ci view I have a drop down list for mysqli and pdo

PHP Code:
<div class="form-group">
<
label class="col-lg-3">Database Driver</label>
<
div class="col-lg-9">
<
select name="database_driver" class="form-control">
<
option value="">Select a Type</option>
<
option value="mysqli">mysqli</option>
<
option value="pdo" id="database_driver_pdo">pdo</option>
</
select>
<?
php echo form_error('database_driver''<br/><div class="text-danger">''</div>'); ?>
</div>
</div> 

A few lines down that view I have another form group that has my database port input

PHP Code:
<div class="form-group" id="database_port">
<
label class="col-lg-3">Database Port</label>
<
div class="col-lg-9">
<
input type="text" name="database_port" class="form-control" placeholder="Database Port: Leave this blank if not required" />
</
div>
</
div

I would like to know how to hide the div below until I click on the pdo option on my select form and if I select mysqli it will hide it etc
There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!

You can learn AngularJS for dynamic webapps.
Keep calm.

If you would use jQuery it would be as simple as this:


Code:
$('[name="database_driver"]').change(function(){
    if($(this)val() == 'pdo'){
        $('#database_port').show();
    }else{
        $('#database_port').hide();
    }
});

Of course, you would need to start with #database_port hidden, so just use CSS for that.
