Question

I have the following code to hide an essay question or open text.
I’d like to have the same effect but hide a drop down box.

In this example below if you select the “I will write in my choice below” the essay question will auto remove. I need to change this essay question to a drop down and I need the supporting Jquery to make the drop down dissaper if the write in choice is selected.

Please select your First Choice from the drop down or tell us that you will “Write In” or choice by selecting “I will “Write In” my choice below.

Q. I will “Write In” my choice below.

jQuery(function($){
   $('input[type=checkbox]',$('#table1')).click(function(){
     if($(this).is(':checked')){
        $('textarea',$('#table1')).empty().hide();
     } else {$('textarea',$('#table1')).show();}
   });
});

Thank you!
