form_dropdown()

[eluser]BigJobbies[/eluser]
Hey Peoples,

Im having some problems with a script im writing and was wondering if someone could help me out, Im new to this whole CodeIgniter thing, so please be kind

I have created a form with a dropdown box, but i want to be able to show / hide <div>'s based on what selection they choose on the dropdown ... I figure it has something to do with the onChange attribute, but cant quite figure it out.

This is what i have to create the dropdown box

Code:

<? $dropdown_js = 'onchange=SomeFunction();"';?>
<?=form_dropdown('link_type',$link_types,$this->validation->link_type,$dropdown_js)?>

This works fine, what i would like it to do though, is get the value of the selected item in the dropdown box, and have that as the div "id" so that if i choose something with the value of "name" it shows <div id="name"></div> and hides the rest.

If someone has made something like this, or know how i would get started, that would be most appreciated, i have been racking my brains to figure this one out, but im far from a wiz at javascript.

Thanks All.
