RE: CForms: conditional display of widgets

Hi,
 
You could use client-side _javascript_?
 
Add an onkeypress / onclick event on your drop-down menu, which triggers a _javascript_ 'show / hide' function.
 
The _javascript_ 'show / hide' function on changing the drop-down value should set the CSS property for your dynamic widget to be displayed as {display:none} / {display:block or inline}
 
For Accessibility:
 
By default the CSS display property for the dynamic widget should be set to display:block / inline.
 
Then use the _javascript_ document.write to write out the display on the rendered html page as {display:none}, for the dynamic widget. That way if the web user does not have _javascript_ available / enabled, your dynamic field will appear by default.
 
 
Hope this helps,
 
Stuart

Subject: CForms: conditional display of widgets

How can I do to display a certain widget in a form only if a specific condition is met?

 

Depending on the value of a drop-down menu in the form, another widget should be displayed or not,

dynamically, not only when the form is first presented.

 

Thanks
