benoit1980 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hi Everyone, Someone is asking me a bit of help on a website, I know a bit php and HTML5, I would like to know what would be the best of doing this please: 1)I need to create 2 big buttons, according to the choice of the buttons a different dropbox menu with towns will showup. 2)When the user chooses one of the town, in any drop down, I would like to show a different DIV with content in it. Here is a practical example: BUTTON A BUTTON B if Button A is pressed, show dropdown menu A if BUTTON B is pressed, show dropdown menu B If town 1 from dropdown menu A is chosen show DIV 1 If town 2 from dropdown menu A is chosen show DIV 1 If town 3 from dropdown menu A is chosen show DIV 2 If town 4 from dropdown menu A is chosen show DIV 3 If town 5 from dropdown menu A is chosen show DIV 1 If town 1 from dropdown menu B is chosen show DIV 6 If town 2 from dropdown menu B is chosen show DIV 5 If town 3 from dropdown menu B is chosen show DIV 5 If town 4 from dropdown menu B is chosen show DIV 6 If town 5 from dropdown menu B is chosen show DIV 4 How to do this without reloading the page please?

Barand Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 You would initially build you page content and dropdown options with PHP, but the showing of the div content would be done client-side using javascript/jquery Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292578-best-way-of-organizing-dropdown-menus-please/#findComment-1497038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
benoit1980 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi, Thank for the reply, would you have an example of showing hiding the Div based on what is chosen in the drop down menu please? Also for the towns, do I need to use a switch case?

Barand Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Here's an example <?php $a_towns = array(1=>'Town A','Town B','Town C','Town D','Town E'); $opts="<option value=''>- Select Town -</option>\n"; foreach($a_towns as $k=>$t) { $opts .= "<option value='$k'>$t</option>\n"; } ?> <html> <head> <style type='text/css'> div.hideable { border: 1px solid gray; width: 200px; height: 50px; padding: 20px; font-size: 20pt; } #div1 { background-color: red; } #div2 { background-color: green; } #div3 { background-color: blue; } </style> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $().ready(function() { $(".hideable").hide(); $("#menuA").change(function() { $(".hideable").hide(); switch ($("#menuA").val()) { case '1': case '2': $("#div1").show(); break; case '3': $("#div2").show(); break; case '4': $("#div3").show(); break; case '5': $("#div2").show(); break; } }) }) </script> </head> <body> <select name='menuA' id='menuA'> <?=$opts?> </select> <br> <div id="div1" class='hideable'>DIV 1</div> <div id="div2" class='hideable'>DIV 2</div> <div id="div3" class='hideable'>DIV 3</div> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292578-best-way-of-organizing-dropdown-menus-please/#findComment-1497075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
