Checkbox group and otherwise textbox

Polleke 21 Jan, 2015
Hi,
first of all i must say the best form tool ever. Made my first form including acymailing subscriptions in less then an hour.. Wonderfull.

Now I would like to extend my form.
I have a checkbox group with several possibilities. Now i would add the possibilty to add some text. So a checkbox (to the checkbox group) with a lale like 'Else' or 'Otherwise' and a textbox.

Can i do that ?

Hi Jan,

Add the text/textarea element to the form and set the Load state to 'Parent hidden'

In the checkbox group click the Events tab and set:

+ On = 'other' : action 'Show Parent' text_box_id
+ On != 'other' : action 'Hide Parent' text_box_id

Hi Bob,
many thanks for your answer.
But it doesn't work completly.
I see a textbox appearing and overwritten by the recaptcha.
See images.

Hi Jan,

Hard to say, show and hide ought to move the following boxes up and down to allow space. Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hi Bob,
yes you can at:

Sorry for the dutch.
You can add as much as you like. It is a test environment.

Hi Jan,

I don't see which checkbox should trigger the display. The JavaScript seems to be set to work with value= 'other' but I can't find a checkbox with that value?

If I change the display manually then the textarea displays correctly.

i found it.
My mistake.
indeed i should make a checkbox called other. Then the events work on this label.

thanks for your support.
