When a certain dropdown menu is selected a group of forms will appear and then if you select another option that group of form will collapse or hide and another group of form will appear. How to do this?

Please kindly point me to a tutorial on how to accomplish this. I tried to search google but cant find the exact answer that Im looking for.

Thanks

If you use <select> for your menu just handle [B]onchange[/B] event for that purpose.

@nap0leonJun 17.2012 — On my Coding Tips page, I have a few examples of using Hide/Show.

http://www.jasondahlin.com/2011/coding-tips/

Most of the examples show only hiding or showing one DIV at a time, you can easily hide/dhow more than one item at a time by calling the 'hide/show' function multiple times (for each item you want to hide or show). Typically, I would place this in a JS "switch-case" statement. e.g.
<i>
</i>(before showing anything, hide everything), then

case:"ShowGroupA"
safeToggleFieldDisplay('A1','inline')
safeToggleFieldDisplay('A2','inline')

Hi Napoleon,

@nap0leonJun 17.2012 — I don't think I have one using a select box's onchange event. It would look like this:

&lt;select name="dropdown1" id="dropdown1" onchange="dropDown1Changed()"&gt;
&lt;option value="one"&gt;One&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="two"&gt;Two&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;


This will call the function "dropDown1Changed()" which can then do whatever you want to do (like, look up the value that the user selected and do whatever hide/show you want to happen).

Success!
