I must not be getting it, this is whati have now, and it is still not
working as needed.
$(document).ready(function() {
var $select = $('select#campaign_type_select');
var $value = $select.val();
var $coupon_div = $('#campaign_create_coupon');
var $broadcast_div = $('#campaign_create_broadcast');
var $contest_div = $('#campaign_create_contest');
$select.bind( 'change keydown', function() {
if ($(this).val() == 'contest') {
alert('contest');
$coupon_div.show();
$broadcast_div.hide();
$contest_div.hide();
}
else if ($(this).val() == 'broadcast') {
alert('broadcast');
$coupon_div.hide();
$broadcast_div.show();
$contest_div.hide();
}
else ($(this).val() == 'coupon') {
alert('coupon');
$coupon_div.hide();
$broadcast_div.hide();
$contest_div.show();
}
});
});
HTML -
<div class="form_data_wrap">
<div class="form_data_label">Campaign Type:</div>
<div class="form_data_value">
<select id="campaign_type_select">
<option value="coupon">Coupon</option>
<option value="broadcast">Broadcast</option>
<option value="contest">Contest</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
