Dropdown options depending on radio button selected in javascript
I have two switches: on-campus and off-campus. when selected on campus, the dropdown menu will have some options, and when selected off campus, a different set of options will be selected. how can i do this in javascript?
I am trying to use this. I have this code
function setInCampus(a) {
if(a == "true") {
setOptions(document.form.nature.options[document.form.nature.selectedIndex].value) }
}
function setOptions(chosen)
{
//stuff
}
it won't work. what's wrong?

First of all, make the form useful and accessible even with JavaScript disabled. Create HTML markup containing dropdown lists for radio buttons.
Then, when JavaScript is enabled, hide the dropdowns element on document load and attach an event handler to radio buttons, so when one has been checked, toggle the visibility of the dropdown you want.

You can just define both in code and toggle visibility using javascript. Something like that:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggleSelect(id)
{
if (id == 'off')
{
document.getElementById('in-campus').style['display'] = 'none';
document.getElementById('off-campus').style['display'] = 'block';
}
if (id == 'in')
{
document.getElementById('off-campus').style['display'] = 'none';
document.getElementById('in-campus').style['display'] = 'block';
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select id='in-campus'>
<option>a</option>
</select>
<select id='off-campus' style='display: none;'>
<option>b</option>
</select>
<br />
<input type='radio' name='campustype' value='in' onclick="toggleSelect('in');" checked='1' /><label for='incampus'>In-campus</label><br />
<input type='radio' name='campustype' value='off' onclick="toggleSelect('off');" /><label for='offcampus'>Off-campus</label>
</body>
</html>
A nicer version of this approach doesn't require javascript support, it will gracefully strip out the underlying html.
