Show Form Field if Drop Down Item is Selected Using jquery

Question

I'm trying to create a dropdown field where if the "Other" item is selected, then a "Please Specify" text box appears. The below works with just one dropdown select field, but as soon as I add the second select field, it no longer works. Here's what I have that doesn't seem to work: CSS... ``` #techother{display:none;} #lmsother{display:none;} ``` Body... ```

Chose Your Browser:

Please Specify:

Accepted Answer

There you go: http://jsfiddle.net/ecZrE/

You mixed up some things in the selectors. Use

```
$('p select[name=Browser]')
```

instead of

```
$('form select[name=Browser]')
```

since there is no form element. But your snippet is incomplete anyway.

Another wrong selector is

```
$('form select option:selected') 
```

because you forgot to specify the select element.
