[Plugin: Contact Form 7] This is how to show/hide fields with jQuery

AH-HA! I had to create a new template for my form modal so I stuck the script in the header of that and everything is working beautifully.

Great solution, thank you! – worked for me!

I can just say KUDOS! @bunnybomb

thanks for this help. i created a form using your files. Here is another issue.

hi anyone can help

see my page https://eappraisalvaluation.com/sample.html. how can i inline the radio buttons. I tried to put

span.wpcf7-checkbox span.wpcf7-list-item { display: block; }
span.wpcf7-radio span.wpcf7-list-item { display: inline; }

in styles.css of the plugin style sheet and nothing helped

@jinumanalody Try This.

.wpcf7-form-control  wpcf7-radio
{
    float: left;
    margin: 0 auto 15px;
}

then put “clear:both;” in the div of “Your Company Information”

in #contactForm label – remove “clear:left;”

.wpcf7-list-item
{
  float:left;
}

This may get you, what you want. Let me know if it works.

@vajrasar Goswami let me try. i will surely let u know

i added normal html code instead of using the cf7 format inside a table to make the alignment correct.

@bunnybomb how to check the value of a selected radio button in js? i have a yes/no radio button. how can i check what is the value of the selected radio button using your javascript? please help

ok thank you very much

This is great, thank you! I have one question – what if I want to create a form that sends the message to a different email address depending on a drop down or radio button selected by the user? For example:

A user selects that they are a potential customer, so their contact form goes to sales. Or a user selects that they are an existing customer, so their contact form goes to customer support.

Is that possible with your solution?

I am not sure about the radio button but to send to a different person based on a drop down just create the normal drop down in the form editor. When you go to add your options just do this:

Someone | [email protected]
Someoneelse | [email protected]

This will send your emails out based on the option selected.

Thank you, I will try that! I finally found a page in the documentation that tells how to do this, but had to find it through Google: https://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/

This answer is in regards to having issues with hiding and showing required fields. For example if you are trying to hide a text box that is required as part of the form, and only show it when a certain value is selected from a dropdown, you are going to have trouble with submitting the form when the text box is still hidden since the user cannot enter in a value.

The solution I came up with was to use Jquery to alter the value attribute of the text box. It’s an ugly hack, but was the most simple solution I could come up with in short time.

My JQuery code:

[ Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. ]

<script type="text/javascript">
			$(document).ready(function(){
				$('.hide').hide();
				$('.hide input').val('n/a'); //give the text box a value when it is hidden so it passes the required field validation.
					//Show the text field only when the third option is chosen - this doesn't
					$('.dropdown').change(function() {
						if ($(this).val() == "Other") {
							$(this).parent().parent().next('p').find('input').val(''); //give an empty string as its value before sliding it down so it will not pass the required field validation.
							$(this).parent().parent().next('p').slideDown('fast');
					}
						else {
							$(this).parent().parent().next('p').slideUp('fast');
							$(this).parent().parent().next('p').find('input').val('n/a'); //give back its value so it passes validation
					}
					});
			});
		</script>

As for the conditional fields in the email text itself, I have not looked into this thus far. If I end up doing so and find a solution I will make a post about it.

I’ve tested this, and it works with the twenty eleven theme, however it doesnt work for my polyon theme, anyone know why it wouldnt work?

*when i do this step by step in polyon, it shows the form properly, however it never hides the field

Hai
