I have a radio button group on a survey form whose html looks like:
<label>Would you like to compete?</label>
<input type="radio" name="compete" value="2" id="competenoradio" >
<label for="compete_no">No</label>
<input type="radio" name="compete" value="1" id="competeyesradio">
<label for="compete_yes">Yes</label>
<div id="competeyes">
<label class="competeyestxt" hidden=true>Which Location?</label>
<textarea rows="4" cols="40" maxlength="2000" name="competeyestextarea" class="competeyestxt" hidden="true">
</textarea>
</div>
The div at the bottom with id 'competeyes' need to be toggled between invisible to visible
based on whether the user selected radio button with id 'compete_yes'.
Here is my attempt at it, which does not work.
Attempt 1:
$('#competeyesradio').bind('change',function(){
$('#competeyes').toggle($(this).is(':checked'));
});
Attempt 2:
$('div.input input:radio').bind('change',function(){
$('#competeyes').toggle($(this).is(':checked'));
});
Attempt 3:
$('[name=compete]').bind('change',function(){
$('#competeyes').toggle($(this).is(':checked'));
});
Any suggestions?
Your first problem is that you are using $(this).is(':checked') to check if the current element is checked. It will always be true.
$('input[name="compete"]').bind('change',function(){
var showOrHide = ($(this).val() == 1) ? true : false;
$('#competeyes').toggle(showOrHide);
});
Your second problem was that you were using hidden="true" for the fields. You should use CSS to hide the fields. Here is the HTML markup you should be using:
<label>Would you like to compete?</label>
<input type="radio" name="compete" value="2" id="competenoradio" >
<label for="compete_no">No</label>
<input type="radio" name="compete" value="1" id="competeyesradio">
<label for="compete_yes">Yes</label>
<div id="competeyes" style="display:none">
<label class="competeyestxt">Which Location?</label>
<textarea rows="4" cols="40" maxlength="2000" name="competeyestextarea" class="competeyestxt"></textarea>
</div>
Here is a demo
$('input[id=competeyesradio]:checked')(function(){ $('#competeyes').toggle();
}
