Question

I have a piece of javascript code that causes a text box to appear adjacent to a drop-down menu when a certain selection is made. It worked perfectly until I embedded it in html. I’m not sure why it’s not working now, although it’s probably really trivial.

Here is the function, as it is now:

$public->html .= '<script type="text/javascript">;
    $(function(){
    // initially check the default value in dd_question
    if($("#dd_question").find("option:selected").val() == "0"){
            $("#other_question").show();
          }else{
            $("#other_question").hide();
          }
        $("#dd_question").change(function() {
          if($(this).find("option:selected").val() == "0"){
            $("#other_question").show();
          }else{
            $("#other_question").hide();
          }
        });
    });
  </script>';

It would be great to have this working again. Can anyone see why it’s not?

I’m not php user but i can tell you that the semi colon at this line probably shouldn’t be there.

$public->html .= '<script type="text/javascript">;
