Thanks Jeffrey, Glen, Steve, Gordon and Erik
Sorry it took so long to reply, I was steeped in development work which
can (finally) go live tomorrow.
The reason I was trying to do this was as part of the checkout form for
a shopping platform. I have 2 sets of address fields, one for delivery
and one for billing, so I put a show/hide effect on the billing address
when the user answered the question 'Is your billing addess the same as
your delivery address?'. It was due in part to the way the cms remembers
the values of form fields that I had to replicate the address fields I
was hiding and then set their values to blank so that they would
over-ride the values stored on the server. Bit of a hack unfortunately.
Because of time constraints I created a workaround similar to the code
that Jeffrey kindly provided.
The following gave me a set of elements I could dynamically swap for the
actual text fields:
var hiddenAddrInputs = '';
$(".billing-address input").clone().each(function(){
hiddenAddrInputs += '<input type="hidden" name="' + $(this).attr("name") + '"
value="" />';
})
var hiddenAddr = $(hiddenAddrInputs);
Thanks again guys, I learned something new at least!
