Hello everyone, I just started to study jquery. I have two select fields that contain the continents and countries.

My needs nascodere show the two-DIV, "lib-ass" and "soc-first":

1) When you select the continent of Europe the DIV "lib-ass," appears. That is OK

2) When you do not select the continent Europe DIV "lib-ass", hides. That is OK

3 When you do not select the country DIV Britain the "lib-ass" must hide. This is not OK .

When you select the country DIV Britain the "lib-ass" you have to show. This is not OK

My problem is that I can not hide-show, when you select your country Britain the DIV tag with id "lib-ass."

Where am I wrong?

I hope averdato much information as possible. thanks

Answer 1

http://jsfiddle.net/J2XDk/1/ Is this what you're looking to do?

I made a few changes: select values can be retrieved by calling .val() directly on the select (no need for finding the selected option). I also look it up specifically using the select box ID since just doing $('select') is ambiguous. Save values to variables so you don't have to execute the jQuery multiple times. The alternate condition for the Europe check can just use else, no need to specifically check for != "Europe"

$(document).ready(function () {

    $("select").change(function () {
        var continent = $('#continent').val(),
            country = $('#country').val(),
            $libass = $('#lib-ass'),
            $socpri = $('#soc-pri');

        if (continent === "Europe") {
            $libass.show();
            $socpri.show();

        } else {
            $libass.hide();
        }

        if(country === 'Britain') {
            $libass.hide();                
        } else {
            $libass.show();   
        }

    }).change();
});

You could add the following to your logic:

$("#country").change(function(){
            if($("#country option:selected").val() == "Britain") {
                $('#lib-ass').show(); 
                $('#soc-pri').show();
            }else{
                $('#lib-ass').hide();
            }
 }).change();

Where country is the select box of your selected country. The hashtag (#) is used to call a specific ID in Jquery.

Here is a working example
