How do I make the event to give a text box if the choice is selected as OTHER
​
I have checkboxes of:
​
Army
Navy
Air_Force
Marines
Coast_Guard
Merchant_Marines
Law_Enforcement
First_Responder
Other (explain)
​
If the choices are made (and they may be multiple) but the choice of Other is checked, how do I get a text line to open for the user to fill in?
​
In Chronoforms 5, it was through the EVENT, but this is different and I'm not sure how to do it.
​
Thank you.

Hi pgrnycomdir,
​
Go to the Events tab of your Checkboxes element, There you can set actions to happen when a particular box is selected (or not). Create your Other box as a text input and set it to load hidden, then you can Show it when Other is selected.

Have two events.
​
On -> Select -> other : show+enable+enable validation for text_field
On -> Not select -> other : hide + disable + disable validation for text field

I'm sorry guys, I am totally lost with what I write where in the events. I don't understand and couldn't find anything in the manual either, unless I'm looking in the wrong spot.

GreyHead,

I'm just not getting this at all. Sorry.

Hi Donna,
​
What is the id of the element you want to show/hide?
​
And what do you have in the Events tab of Checkboxes element?

I'm afraid I don't have much of anything. I keep trying to write stuff and I obviously don't have a clue as to what I am doing.
​
I need all check boxes to be visible. The user can check more than one. If they check the "Other" I want it to open a text field for them to "explain"
