Question

I have this code:

<p><label for="mobtel">Enter mobile no.:</label><br />
<input id="mobtel" type="text" name="mobtel"/></p>

I hide it using jquery with this:

$("label[for=mobtel],#mobtel").hide();

And now I want now is to display a new label and new input that will look like this:

<p><label for="mobtel">Enter verification no.:</label><br />
<input id="verification_no" type="text" name="verification_no"/></p>

How can I do this in jquery style?

Answer 1

I would just include both as normal in the HTML, and then hide/show as needed:

<p id="mobtelField">
    <label for="mobtel">Enter mobile no.:</label><br />
    <input id="mobtel" type="text" name="mobtel"/>
</p>
<p id="verificationNoField">
    <label for="verification_no">Enter verification no.:</label><br />
    <input id="verification_no" type="text" name="verification_no"/>
</p>

and

function showVerificationNo(){
    $('#mobtelField').hide();
    $('#verificationNoField').show();
}
function showMobtel(){
    $('#verificationNoField').hide();
    $('#mobtelField').show();
}

CSS:

#verificationNoField{
    display:none;
}

Then call to use:

showVerificationNo();
