Hi
I am new to chronoforms and jQuery and am really struggling with what seems like should be quite simple.
I have dB read that gets data from a table that include the fields session and session_price.
The dropdown on the form is called session, and using the info in FAQs I have got it to display the contents of the session field. Now I need the textbox called sessionprice to display the value that corresponds to the session chosen.
Using info in the FAQs I can make the textbox contain the value selected in the dropdown with:code]jQuery(document).ready(function(function(jQ){
jQ('#session').change(function(){
var desc;
desc=jQ('#session').find(":selected").text();
jQ('#sessionprice').val(desc);
)}
)}[/code]
But, is there a simple way to get the value of the corresponding session_price from the array?
Many thanks for your patience

Hi Mikki,
Please see this FAQ - note that you have to copy the HTML from your drop-down into a custom code element so that you can add the data- items

Thanks for the reply
I looked at that FAQ but it looked like I would need to hand code in the data attributes. I need to pull in the data from a table so that the prices and session details can be updated easily.
Do you know of a FAQ that would show me how to create the dropdown and the data attributes from values in a table?

Hi Mikki,
You can load the data from a table and use PHP in the custom code action to build the options list; or you could use the ChronoForms drop-down element but combine the price in the option value as e.g. value='xxx#price' and then use JavaScript to extract and display the price when the drop-down changes; or . . . there are a couple of other ways to get the prices when you need them too.
How you do it is up to you.
