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?

Thanks Bob

PHP worked well for me 😀
