I have been using some Javascript to create a text field once an certain value is selected from a drop-down box, but having a limited knowledge in Javascript now that I need to edit it so that a new dropdown option also creates a text field. When I have tried to edit it seems not not work. Here is the js I'm an trying to use:
$(".claim").change(function() {
$(".area").find(".field").remove();
//or
$('.area').remove('.field');
if ($(this).val() == "Insurance") {
$(".area").append("<input class='field' name='cost' type='text' placeholder='Cost' />");
}
if ($(this).val() == "Damage <$100") {
$(".area").append("<input class='field' name='cost' type='text' placeholder='Cost' />");
}
});
and here is the html dropdown box:
<div id="area" class="area">
<strong>Cases:</strong><input name="cases" type=text placeholder="Cases ID" maxlength="7" style="width:129px;">
<br />
<strong>Claim:</strong>
<select class="claim" id="claim" name="claim">
<option value="">Select a Claim</option>
<option value="Insurance">Insurance</option>
<option value="Warrenty">Warrenty</option>
<option value="Damage <$100">Damage <$100</option>
</select>
I have attempted to edit the Javascript and a few other things but none seem to work. I am guessing its something that is simple but I am unsure about using Javascript at this moment so any help would be great.
