Jquery and PowerSchool- If statement - show hidden fields

The below will target a div and make it appear and disappear depending on what is selected in another field.

~[wc:commonscripts]

<script>

 

$j(function($){

 $j("#ELStatusField").change(function() {

  if ($j(this).val() == "01" || $(this).val() == "06") {

    $j('div#AccessEllsDiv').show();

    $j('#AccessElls').attr('required', '');

    $j('#AccessElls').attr('data-error', 'This field is required.');

  } else {

    $j('#AccessEllsDiv').hide();

    $j('#AccessElls').val("");

    $j('#AccessElls').removeAttr('required');

    $j('#AccessElls').removeAttr('data-error');

  }

});

$j("#ELStatusField").trigger("change");

});

</script>

 

Break down of the code

 

 Looks for the change of the option selected on the field by using an element ID.
$j("#ELStatusField").change(function() {

 

If the selected option change equals the select value of 01 or 06 
if ($j(this).val() == "01" || $(this).val() == "06") { 

 

It will do the below.

 

1. show the field with the element ID of "AccessEllsDiv"

$j('div#AccessEllsDiv').show();

 

2. Make this field required

$j('#AccessElls').attr('required', '');

 

3. If user doesn't select a value for this field when they click submit, this will show the alert message.

$j('#AccessElls').attr('data-error', 'This field is required.');

 

If the user selects any other option that is not "01" or "06" the below will happen

 

  1. The div "AccessEllsDiv" will be hidden.      $j('#AccessEllsDiv').hide();
  2. Remove the required attribute                  $j('#AccessElls').removeAttr('required');
  3. Remove the alert message                         $j('#AccessElls').removeAttr('data-error');

 

 

Makes the magic happen                                       $j("#ELStatusField").trigger("change");
