Question

I have a drop down menu with dynamically set values from the database:

When a value is selected how could I make it load a specific view dependent on what the selected option is?

I now have it loading a specific view dependent on what option is selected:

Code:

        if (isset($_REQUEST['general_options'])) {

            $page = strtolower(str_replace(" ", "", $_REQUEST['general_options']));


            $this->load->view( $page, $data, FALSE);
        }

How could I dynamically produce a form with specific questions dependent on what question is selected?

HTML:

<label for="general_options">Quote Type: </label>
    <select name="general_options" id="general_options">

        <option value="Graphic Design">Graphic Design</option>


        <option value="Content Management System">Content Management System</option>


        <option value="Shopping Cart">Shopping Cart</option>


        <option value="E-Mail Marketing">E-Mail Marketing</option>

            </select>

I think php will be overkill for this. I have used jquery for this. you can find the jsfiddle here

<label for="general_options">Quote Type: </label>
    <select name="general_options" id="general_options">
        <option value="graphic">Graphic Design</option>
        <option value="content">Content Management System</option>
        <option value="shopping">Shopping Cart</option>
        <option value="marketing">E-Mail Marketing</option>
</select><br/>

<div id="graphic" style="display:none;" class="questions">
    <p>Graphic content 1</p>
    <p>Graphic content 2</p>
    <p>Graphic content 3</p>
</div>

<div id="content" style="display:none;" class="questions">
<p>CMS content 1</p>
<p>CMS content 2</p>
<p>CMS content 3</p>
</div>

<div id="shopping" style="display:none;" class="questions">
<p>shopping content 1</p>
<p>shopping content 2</p>
<p>shopping content 3</p>
</div>

<div id="marketing" style="display:none;" class="questions">
<p>marketing content 1</p>
<p>marketing content 2</p>
<p>marketing content 3</p>
</div>

and the jquery Code

$(document).ready(function() {
     $('#general_options').change(function() {

      theVal = $("#general_options").val();
     $('div.questions').each(function(){

        if(this.id == theVal){
            $('div.questions').hide();
            $('#'+this.id).show();
        }
    });         

  });   

});​
