Hide submit button unless specific drop down selected

Discussion in 'PHP' started by bellcom, Jan 22, 2014.

    I use gravity forms and you can easily add conditional logic to your submit button so it is not available unless specific conditions are met.

    I have an older form that I created with phpformgenerator online.
    Would it be easy to hide the submit button or show an error message based on the selection made from a drop down select box?

    Its for a firewood delivery form, they have to order at least 1/2 cord or wood before delivery is available. They can deliver 1/8 of one type of wood and 1/8 of another type, but the total has to equal 1/2 cord. Not sure the best way to do this but I put a question on the form asking if they ordered 1/2 or more cords of wood and stated that 1/2 cord is required for delivery.

    They still don't pay attention and try to order 1/8 cord for delivery.

    Any suggestions appreciated :)

    Yes, there is a way to affect CSS with javascript. Do you know JS?

    You can call a JS function for an event on the drop down. Using selected.Index you can determine which option was selected and then set the display of the button to hide.

    No I don't know JS but I will google "selected.Index" and see if I can figure it out.

    So I could set the css for the button to
    display: none;
    then when a specific selection was made from the drop down I could change the css to something like
    display: block !important;
    ?

    thanks!!

    According to me you can use javascript to solver this problem you can enable or disable button as per selection of the dropdown list using client side script like javascript
