Disable dropdown if checkbox ticked problem

Hi Folks,

I'm having a problem gettinmg this to work...

I have some javascript but all i seem to be able to do is disable the checkbox 🤣

What I want to do is this..

The user fills out the webform, they then select an option from the dropdown list, 3 options: phone response, email response or letter response, this determines what email address the data will be sent to.. What I want to do is add in a 4th option to say if the checkbox is ticked, disable the dropdown list and send an email to another email address...

Here is the javascript:

function disablefield()
{
	document.ReAssign_A_Call_Form.select.disabled = true;
}

Here is the onsubmit code:

<?php
$emails = array('Email1' => 'email1@email.com', 'Email2' => 'email2@email.com', 'Email3' => 'email3@email.com');
$rows[0]->extraemail = $emails[$_POST['select']];
$sub= "Text: ".$_POST['text']." Response: ".$_POST['select']."Contact ID: ".$_POST['contactid'];
$rows[0]->emailsubject = $sub;
?>

Hi MistaT2000,

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. There's isn't any 4th email address here - where does that come from?

Perhaps if you post that part of the from html it woudl help.

Hi Bob,

To disable the dropdown list I added the following code:

This to the javascript section:

function disablefield()
{
	document.ReAssign_A_Call_Form.select.disabled = true;
}

This is the checkbox entry in the webform

<input type="checkbox" onclick="disablefield(this.checked)" />

All it seems to do is disable itself once its ticked? the name of my webform is ReAssign_A_Call_Form and the field I want disabled is called 'select'

I'm unsure how to add the checkbox to the onsubmit code so that if its checked it forces the form data to be emailed to a different address and disables the dropdown list so that it doesnt send to one of those addresses too...

well, I would document.getElementById to disable fields, if a field is disabled then it posts nothing, so I would check the post of it and if its unset then use the other option, you dont even need to set a value for the checkbox!

Thanks admin!

I used the following code for the javascript:

window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById('select').disabled =
document.getElementById('checkbox').checked;
}

Then this for my webform:

<

input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" id="checkbox"
onchange="document.getElementById('select').disabled = this.checked;" />

It now works perfectly 😀

Just one more question 😶

I was wondering how I assign an email address to the checkbox?

In the onsubmit code I have the following:

<?php
$emails = array('Email1' => 'email1@email.com', 'Email2' => 'email2@email.com', 'Email3' => 'email3@email.com', 'Email4' => 'email4@email.com');
$rows[0]->extraemail = $emails[$_POST['select']];
$sub= "Text: ".$_POST['text']." Response: ".$_POST['select']."Contact ID: ".$_POST['contactid'];
$rows[0]->emailsubject = $sub;
?>

I tried to give the checkbox the value="Email4" but it didnt work.. 😟 Is there any way that in the onsubmit code I can have something that says if checkbox = 'true' then email: [email]'email4@email.com[/email]'??

hi,

I suggested before you do this :

<?php
if($_POST['select']){
$emails = array('Email1' => 'email1@email.com', 'Email2' => 'email2@email.com', 'Email3' => 'email3@email.com', 'Email4' => 'email4@email.com');
$rows[0]->extraemail = $emails[$_POST['select']];
}else{
$rows[0]->extraemail = 'default@something.com';//this is the 4th address
}
?>

Thankyou admin!!!

Your help is, as always, much appreciated!!

Can you delete the other thread I started as I forgot I had already asked the question in this one!!! 😶

Thanks again
