Question

I have an input which is hidden which carrys a value based on that value I would like to show a menu item.

i.e. if value in field = 1 than show menu item 1
else if value in field is not 1 then hide menu item 1

my jquery

$(function() {
    $("#sessionVal".val(==1){
        $("#adminMenu").show();
    });
    $("#sessionVal".val(!=1){
        $("#adminMenu").hide();
    });
});

Really simple I am sure for most can anyone help?

Answer 1

if($('#sessionVal').val() == 1) {
    $('#adminMenu').show();
} else {
    $('#adminMenu').hide();
}

Should do the trick.

Note I am using == instead of === because I’m assuming the value attribute won’t necessarily get returned as number
