I’m trying to make a drop down table using jQuery, with a similar code

  • 0

I’m trying to make a drop down table using jQuery, with a similar code like here: (from the topic: Conditional simple drop down list?)

<body>
<div id="myQuestions">
    <select id="QuestionOptions">
        <option value="A">Question A</option>
        <option value="B">Question B</option>
    </select>
</div>
<div id="myAnswers">
    <div id="A" style="display: none;">
        <div id="QuestionC">
            <p>Here is an example question C.</p>
        </div>
        <div id="QuestionD">
            <select id="QuestionOptionsD">
                <option value="G">Question G</option>
                <option value="H">Question H</option>
            </select>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="B" style="display: none;">
        <div id="QuestionE">
            <p>Here is an example question E.</p>
        </div>
        <div id="QuestionF">
            <select id="QuestionOptionsF">
                <option value="I">Question I</option>
                <option value="J">Question J</option>
            </select>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

And the jQuery part

$(function () {
$('#QuestionOptions').change(function () {
    $('#myAnswers > div').hide();
    $('#myAnswers').find('#' + $(this).val()).show();
});
});

My problem is, when I finish to table the part of “myQuestions”, and start to table the part of “myAnswers”, the dynamic part of the table doesn’t work. In this case, the myAnswers part won’t be hidden, it’ll be shown since the beginning. I tried to put everything in one table, then I tried to create a different table for myQuestions, then another table for myAnswers and it didn’t work. Does anyone know where am I mistaken?

    Without knowing the new structure of the table, it’s hard to answer, but anyway is this what you want?

    HTML

    <table id="myQuestions">
    <tr>
        <td>
            <select id="QuestionOptions">
                <option value="A">Question A</option>
                <option value="B">Question B</option>
            </select>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<table id="myAnswers">
    <tr id="A" style="display: none;">
        <td id="QuestionC">
            <p>Here is an example question C.</p>
        </td>
        <td id="QuestionD">
            <select id="QuestionOptionsD">
                <option value="G">Question G</option>
                <option value="H">Question H</option>
            </select>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr id="B" style="display: none;">
        <td id="QuestionE">
            <p>Here is an example question E.</p>
        </td>
        <td id="QuestionF">
            <select id="QuestionOptionsF">
                <option value="I">Question I</option>
                <option value="J">Question J</option>
            </select>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

    Javascript

    $(function() {
    $('#QuestionOptions').change(function() {
        $('tr', '#myAnswers').hide();
        $('#myAnswers').find('#' + $(this).val()).show();
    });
});
