Question

why is my <input type="submit" not display on http://ballpointradio.com/new/page_edit.php? It’s supposed to be underneath the textarea.

This really is baffling me!! Is it my jQuery? I’m pretty sure it isn’t…

Answer 1

$("#page_selection").change(function(){
    $("#" + this.value).show().siblings().hide();
});
$("page_selection").change();

This code, on load, does this:

$("#edit1").show().siblings().hide();

Considering that the <input type="submit"> is a sibling of $('edit1'), it gets hidden!

Just change .siblings() to .siblings('textarea') so it only hides siblings that are also textareas!
