Angry How to have two "other" options on the same page with different text box’s ?
Hello!!
I am trying to make a survey with a "zippcode" and "how far do you drive?' drop down menus with "other" options with a text box with each one.
The Zippcode:
Code:
*Zip Code:  
<script type="text/javascript">
  function showfield(name){
    if(name=='Other')document.getElementById('zipcode2').style.display="block";
    else document.getElementById('zipcode2').style.display="none";
  }
 
 function hidefield() {
 document.getElementById('zipcode2').style.display='none';
 }
  </script>
 
  <body onload="hidefield()">
 
  <select name="zipcode" id="zipcode" onchange="showfield(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
  <option selected="22408">22408</option>
  <option value="22407">22407</option>
  <option value="22406">22406</option>
  <option value="22405">22405</option>
  <option value="22404">22404</option>
  <option value="22403">22403</option>
  <option value="22402">22402</option>
  <option value="22401">22401</option>
  <option value="22430">22430</option>
  <option value="22446">22446</option>
  <option value="22471">22471</option>
  <option value="22538">22538</option>
  <option value="22553">22553</option>
  <option value="22555">22555</option>
  <option value="22565">22565</option>
  <option value="22580">22580</option>
  <option value="Other">Other</option>
  </select>
  <div id="zipcode2">If Other: <input type="text" name="other" /></div>
The mile code:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
  function showfield(name){
    if(name=='Othermiles')document.getElementById('miles2').style.display="block";
    else document.getElementById('miles2').style.display="none";
  }
 
 function hidefield() {
 document.getElementById('miles2').style.display='none';
 }
  </script>
 
  <body onload="hidefield()">
 
  <select name="miles" id="miles" onchange="showfield(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value = "2 Miles">2 Miles</option>
<option value = "4 Miles">4 Miles</option>
<option value = "5 Miles">5 Miles</option>
<option value = "6 Miles">6 Miles</option>
<option value = "8 Miles">8 Miles</option>
<option value = "10 Miles">10 Miles</option>
<option value = "15 Miles">15 Miles</option>
<option value = "20 Miles">20 Miles</option>
<option value="Othermiles">Other</option>
  </select> 
 <div id="miles2">If Other: <input type="text" name="Other2" /></div>
Please help!! Thank you very much in advance!! If you have any questions please ask.

Help with what? what are you having problems with? Oh read the title dummy
I'd put what you have in a form and add the next two things to the form N.P.
I think you should show us what you mean by ""other" options with a text box with each one."

Why use js for this
Code:
function hidefield() {
  document.getElementById('miles2').style.display='none';
}
</script>
<body onload="hidefield()">
When css will do it.
Code:
#miles2{
  display:none;
}

I have started to stop using css except for the main layout of the page.
Thanks though!

That's a bad decision. Did you get the

done on your own? If not post an example of the problem.

The code works very well!! I was wondering if the text box can only come up if the "other" option is selected in the menu?

Sorry, I was trying so hard to get rid of the javascript section that I didn't check for that. Javascript section back.

Shame on you for not just correcting this.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
  font-size: x-large;
}
.smallertxt
{
  font-size:large;
}
#miles2{
  visibility:hidden;
}
#zipcode2{
  visibility: hidden;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function other_zip(choice)
{
	if(choice == "Other") document.getElementById('zipcode2').style.visibility = 'visible';
}
function other_miles(choice)
{
	if(choice == "Othermiles") document.getElementById('miles2').style.visibility = 'visible';
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
What is your zip code:<br>
<select name="zipcode" id="zipcode" onchange="other_zip(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">
	<option value="22408" selected="selected">22408</option>
	<option value="22407">22407</option>
	<option value="22406">22406</option>
	<option value="22405">22405</option>
	<option value="22404">22404</option>
	<option value="22403">22403</option>
	<option value="22402">22402</option>
	<option value="22401">22401</option>
	<option value="22430">22430</option>
	<option value="22446">22446</option>
	<option value="22471">22471</option>
	<option value="22538">22538</option>
	<option value="22553">22553</option>
	<option value="22555">22555</option>
	<option value="22565">22565</option>
	<option value="22580">22580</option>
	<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
<div id="zipcode2" class="smallertxt">If Other, enter the zip: <input type="text" name="other"></div><br>

How many miles do you drive to here:<br>
