Show or hide a field on choice in dropdown CF8

Question

Hello

I have a dropdown list that gives choices

example:

printers=printers

routers=Routers

Keyboards=Keyboards

trackpads=Trackpads

I have checkboxes as follows:

- Printers : details and image

- Routers: Details and image

- Keyboards: Details and image

- Trackpads: Details and image.

The check boxes are hidden and in the dropdown when I choose “ Routers” the check box of Routers should show and when I choose something else the other check box should show and the Routers should be hidden.

I have been able to hide the check boxes but I cannot make it work or show on choice. I am on CF8. Remaking my forms from CF6. It is hard work but no other alternative.

Can I get some help?

Thanks

Hi Ronn

You need to use the Event Triggers and Event Listeners, your dropdown will fire a trigger and your fields will listen for this trigger

A checkboxes group can not show/hide single options, you will need to have multiple checkboxes with the same name and add a listener for each one of them and show/hide each one based on the triggers

You can set the dropdown to fire 2 triggers: hide_all on change, and show_printer...etc for each option

For all checkboxes they should listen to hide_all and hide

Then each one will listen to the specific trigger and show itself

I hope I made it clear but let me know if you still need help
