Hi guys, I have been toying with this for a while tonight. I am trying to use the onchange event to send an id to a javascript function that will fill in the hidden value of an input field and pen a hidden div if the id is a certain number. I will post the code below. Here is the drop down box: <tr><td align="right">Category</td><td><select name="category" id="category" onchange="catter(this.value)"> <?php $con = conDB(); $getCats = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM categories WHERE class='media' ",$con); while($cat = mysql_fetch_array($getCats)){ if ($cat['name']!="All") { ?><option value="<?= $cat['id'] ?>" <?php if($photo->category==$cat['id']) { ?> selected <?php } ?>><?= $cat['name'] ?></option> <?php } } ?></select></td></tr> here is the javascript function... <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function catter(cat) { document.getElementById("cattyper").value=cat; switch (cat) { case 60: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; case 2: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; case 1051: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; case 1017: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; case 25: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; case 26: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; case 7: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; case 5: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; case 1032: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; case 4: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "block"; break; default: document.getElementById("artboxa").style.display = "none"; } } //--> </script> its weird because if i click browser back and then browser forward it sometimes works. Im at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
