Question

I am trying to use a slightly modified version of this code to show/hide the field Return Time on this page based on Type of Trip:

One Way: Return Time is hidden

Round Trip: Return Time is shown

Here is the Select Box html. Code is autogenerated by cforms on wordpress.

<select name="TripType" id="TripType" class="cformselect" >
                <option value="One Way">One Way</option>
                <option value="Round Trip">Round Trip</option>
            </select>

And here is the form element I’m trying to hide:

<li id="li--8" class=""><label id="label--8" for="DepartLeg2-Time"><span>Return Time</span></label><select name="DepartLeg2-Time" id="DepartLeg2-Time" class="cformselect" >
                    <option value="12:00am">12:00am</option>
                    <option value="12:30am">12:30am</option>
                    <option value="1:00am">1:00am</option>
                    <option value="1:30am">1:30am</option>
                    <option value="2:00am">2:00am</option>
                    <option value="2:30am">2:30am</option>
                    <option value="3:00am">3:00am</option>
                    <option value="3:30am">3:30am</option>
                    <option value="4:00am">4:00am</option>
                    <option value="4:30am">4:30am</option>

                    <option value="11:30pm">11:30pm</option>
                </select></li>

Here is the javascript I’m using:

$("#TripType").change(function() {
  $("#li--8")[$(this).val() == "Round Trip" ? 'show' : 'hide']("fast");
}).change();

I have the code working here on JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/MS4Ck/. However, it is not working on the site. My console is not giving me any errors except for a reference error coming from some logging code I put in there to make sure the javascript is being called (it is). Any ideas? Thank you so much!

Just a guess, but make sure this function is wrapped in a docReady function eg:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#TripType").change(function() {
        $("#li--8")[$(this).val() == "Round Trip" ? 'show' : 'hide']("fast");
    }).change();
});
