Hide/Show fields based on a field selection

Hi Chrono-formers!

I've searched the boards for solutions for this, but am encountering obstacles.

What I need is a form that based on the selection from a drop down field, the user can dictate how many fields to be displayed:

example:

Number of Entries {choose a number}
{1}
{2}
{3}
{4}
{5}
{6}
{7}
{8}
{9}
{10}

Based on the selection above a corresponding number of fields would display for the user to fill out.

I found a thread in the forum with a link to this solution:
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/domform.html however, it doesn't work when I implement it in the form.

I am open to alternative solutions, but need to get this form up and running! I am also open to implementing a button that will allow the user to add additional entries (as seen here: http://functionstaffing.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=TheAGame2010

Thanks for your help!!!

Hi berlin80210,

From memory you can adapt the quirksmode code to work with ChronoForms though there are some problems with validation. I thought that someone posted a 'how-to' thread on this a few weeks ago.

Hi Bob - thanks for the quick reply! The script you suggested doesn't work when implemented in Chrono forms. I added the suggested code from quirksmode in the appropriate edit page (without the <script> tags as directed), but it seems most codes I put in encounter conflicts and do not work.

I've posted an example here: http://functionstaffing.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=TestForm

Hi berlin80210,

You are right - most scripts won't work out of the box. That's why I said that you can *adapt* it to work.

Bob

Could you be specific as far as *adapt*ing this script for use with Chrono Forms? I have some basic knowledge of JS and PHP, but this is a bit over my head.

Hi berlin80210,

Sorry, I just don't have time at the moment to do custom script adaptation here. But I think that if you search the forums for Quirksmode you will find that someone has already done it.
