Display Itesm From Form?

Randy · 04-27-2008, 12:44 AM

Hello, Yes I am creating a script (I don't want to get into details cause they aren't needed for this) and I am trying using a form with a drop down menu, I am trying to set it up for when a certain option for example "dogs" it ads one or more fields below that box, but i want it to change depending on which option is selected from the form. How might I do this?

EDIT: sorry about the mistype in the title, was watching tv for a second.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Randy Cram

Something like this?

javascript Code:

function TalkPHP_AddFields(pTarget)
{
    var iValue = parseInt(pTarget.value);
    
    if(!iValue)
    {
        return;
    }
    
    var pP = document.getElementById('pContainer');;
    pP.innerHTML = '';
    
    for(iIndex = 0; iIndex < iValue; iIndex++)
    {
        var pInput = document.createElement('input');
        pP.appendChild(pInput);
    }
}

html4strict Code:

<select onchange="TalkPHP_AddFields(this);">

    <option value="1">Ferret</option>
    <option value="2">Cat</option>
    <option value="3">Dog</option>

</select>

<p id="pContainer">

</p>
