so I want to add some input based on the option value from the drop down that will be selected. For example, the dropdown looks like this:
<form action="#" method="post">
<select name="job" id="job" >
<option value="">position</option>
<option value="1">Teacher</option>
<option value="2">Principal</option>
<option value="3">Staff</option>
</select>
</form>
and if the selected value is number 1 or teacher, it will display new input like this below it:
<input type="number" name="student" id="student">
<input type="Text" name="class" id="class">
if you guys know how to make it, maybe you can help me with this please, either using php or js because I've been stuck with this problem for a long time.
before that, set the style of input is hide, then You can try onchange on select, Which is get the value of select. then proceed to show the hide input.
const job = document.getElementById("job");
let add = document.getElementsByClassName("addEx");
job.addEventListener("change",function() {
if (this.value == 1) {
for (let i = 0; i < add.length; i++) {
add[i].style.display = 'block';
}
}
else {
for (let i = 0; i < add.length; i++) {
add[i].style.display = 'none';
}
}
});.addEx {
display:none;
}<form action="#" method="post">
<select name="job" id="job" >
<option value="">position</option>
<option value="1">Teacher</option>
<option value="2">Principal</option>
<option value="3">Staff</option>
</select>
<input type="number" name="student" id="student" class="addEx">
<input type="Text" name="class" id="class" class="addEx">
</form>You can use like this:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$('#job').change(function() {
let job = $('#job').val();
if (job == '1') {
$('#sampleBox').show();
} else {
$('#sampleBox').hide();
}
});
});#sampleBox {
display: none;

<select name="job" id="job">
<option selected hidden disabled>Position</option>
<option value="1">Teacher</option>
<option value="2">Principal</option>
<option value="3">Staff</option>
</select>
<div id="sampleBox">
