So I have a div, in which I can display when an input button is hit.
<div class="select-list">
<select name="relations" id="selectBox" style="text-transform: none;" class="select" required onchange="otherFunc()">
<option value="">Choose</option>
<option value="Son">Son</option>
<option value="Daughter">Daughter</option>
<option value="Other Relative">Other Relative</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
<span class="highlight"></span>
<span class="bar"></span>
</div>
</div>
<script>
function otherFunc() {
var selectBox = document.getElementById("selectBox");
var selectedValue = selectBox.options[selectBox.selectedIndex].value;
console.log(selectedValue)
if (selectedValue == "Other") {
document.getElementById("other").innerHTML = ' <div class="group"><div class="col-25"><label>Please clarify if "Other"</label></div><div class="col-75"><input type="text" name="otherInput" required></div><span class="highlight"></span><span class="bar"></span></div>'
} else {
}
}
</script>
<div id="other"></div>
however, now I want to change it so if someone hits Other, but then changes it back to any other option, it hides that div again <div id="other"></div>. How can I do this?
CodePudding user response：
You just need to add document.getElementById("other").innerHTML = ''; in your else to hide the div.
<div class="select-list">
<select name="relations" id="selectBox" style="text-transform: none;" class="select" required onchange="otherFunc()">
<option value="">Choose</option>
<option value="Son">Son</option>
<option value="Daughter">Daughter</option>
<option value="Other Relative">Other Relative</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
<span class="highlight"></span>
<span class="bar"></span>
</div>
</div>
<script>
function otherFunc() {
var selectBox = document.getElementById("selectBox");
var selectedValue = selectBox.options[selectBox.selectedIndex].value;
console.log(selectedValue)
if (selectedValue == "Other") {
document.getElementById("other").innerHTML = ' <div class="group"><div class="col-25"><label>Please clarify if "Other"</label></div><div class="col-75"><input type="text" name="otherInput" required></div><span class="highlight"></span><span class="bar"></span></div>'
} else {
document.getElementById("other").innerHTML = '';
}
}
</script>
<div id="other"></div>CodePudding user response：
Solution #1 keeping your original code
function otherFunc() {
var selectBox = document.getElementById("selectBox");
var selectedValue = selectBox.options[selectBox.selectedIndex].value;
console.log(selectedValue)
if (selectedValue == "Other") {
document.getElementById("other").innerHTML = ' <div ><div ><label>Please clarify if "Other"</label></div><div ><input type="text" name="otherInput" required></div><span ></span><span ></span></div>'
} else {
document.getElementById("other").innerHTML = '';
}
}<div class="select-list">
<select name="relations" id="selectBox" style="text-transform: none;" class="select" required onchange="otherFunc()">
<option value="">Choose</option>
<option value="Son">Son</option>
<option value="Daughter">Daughter</option>
<option value="Other Relative">Other Relative</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
<span class="highlight"></span>
<span class="bar"></span>
</div>
<div id="other"></div>Solution #2 You can do like this as well
var other = document.getElementById('other');
other.style.display = 'none';
function otherFunc() {
var selectBox = document.getElementById("selectBox");
var selectedValue = selectBox.options[selectBox.selectedIndex].value;
console.log(selectedValue)
if (selectedValue == "Other") {
other.style.display = 'block';
} else {
other.style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('otherInput').value = '';
}
}<div class="select-list">
<select name="relations" id="selectBox" style="text-transform: none;" class="select" required onchange="otherFunc()">
<option value="">Choose</option>
<option value="Son">Son</option>
<option value="Daughter">Daughter</option>
<option value="Other Relative">Other Relative</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
<span class="highlight"></span>
<span class="bar"></span>
</div>
<div id="other">
<div class="group">
<div class="col-25">
<label>Please clarify if "Other"</label>
</div>
<div class="col-75">
<input type="text" name="otherInput" Id="otherInput" required>
</div>
<span class="highlight"></span>
<span class="bar"></span>
</div>
</div>CodePudding user response：
well, use some css class (to set visibility, opacity / other prop on the element :
<script>
let otherDiv = undefined;
function otherFunc() {
var selectBox = document.getElementById("selectBox");
var selectedValue = selectBox.options[selectBox.selectedIndex].value;
console.log(selectedValue)
if (selectedValue == "Other") {
otherDiv = document.getElementById("other");
otherDiv.style.opacity = 1;
otherDiv.innerHTML = ' <div class="group"><div class="col-25"><label>Please clarify if "Other"</label></div><div class="col-75"><input type="text" name="otherInput" required></div><span class="highlight"></span><span class="bar"></span></div>'
} else {
if(!!otherDiv)
otherDiv.style.opacity = 0;
}
}
</script>
