Menu
I'm in need to toggle divs from a dropdown select option box. I'd like it similar to asmselect for jquery but instead of listing the option tag I'd like it to display a hidden div. Is there anything like this out there? Or anyone know how to set it up? Thanks, Jeff.
UPDATED
Basically what I want is the look and interaction of the asmselect link above though toggling divs instead of generating a list. Example code below:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#theSelect").change(function(){
$("#theSelect option:selected").click(function(){
var value = $(this).val();
var theDiv = $(".is" + value);
$(theDiv).toggle(function(){
$(this).removeClass("hidden");
}),function(){
$(this).addClass("hidden");
}
});
});
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.hidden {
display: none;
}
</style>

<body>
<div class="selectContainer">
<select id="theSelect">
<option value="">- Select -</option>
<option value="Patient">Patient</option>
<option value="Physician">Physician</option>
<option value="Nurse">Nurse</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="hidden isPatient">Patient</div>
<div class="hidden isPhysician">Physician</div>
<div class="hidden isNurse">Nurse</div>
</body>
</html>

Were you looking for something like this? http://jsfiddle.net/tYvQ8/
$("#theSelect").change(function() {
var value = $("#theSelect option:selected").val();
var theDiv = $(".is" + value);
theDiv.slideDown().removeClass("hidden");
theDiv.siblings('[class*=is]').slideUp(function() { $(this).addClass("hidden"); });
});
When the select option changes, you
div with slideDown() and remove its hidden class.divs siblings that have "is" in the class name. (Be easier if the menu wasn't a sibling.)slideUp(), which takes a callback to add the hidden class after the slideUp() is completeHere's another (in my opinion, better) way: http://jsfiddle.net/tYvQ8/1/
Get rid of your hidden class, and use jQuery to hide them. Then you don't have to worry about adding and removing the class.
HTML without hidden class
<body>
<div class="selectContainer">
<select id="theSelect">
<option value="">- Select -</option>
<option value="Patient">Patient</option>
<option value="Physician">Physician</option>
<option value="Nurse">Nurse</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="isPatient">Patient</div>
<div class="isPhysician">Physician</div>
<div class="isNurse">Nurse</div>
</body>
jQuery
$('[class^=is]').hide();
$("#theSelect").change(function(){
var value = $("#theSelect option:selected").val();
var theDiv = $(".is" + value);
theDiv.slideDown();
theDiv.siblings('[class^=is]').slideUp();
});
List options and div tags can be identified and toggled the same way.
$('#div_id').toggle();
So instead of using an element selector to select an option tag like the asmselect plugin you referenced uses, just modify the element selector to select a div tag on the page.
