Hi all, I'm sure this is really simple, but I can't seem to get it working. I have a "time" select list, which has a number as "rel" attached to each option. If the user changes the time select, I want a new list of options to display depending on what is selected. If that makes sense?
Here's my first select:
<select name="time" id="time">
<option value="7:00am" rel="10">7:00am</option>
<option value="12:30pm" rel="16">12:30pm</option>
</select>
If the user selects 7:00am, I want a new option list (using jquery) to give options from 1 - 10. Like this:
<select name="quantity" id="quantity">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
............................
<option value="10">10</option>
</select>
Here's what I have so far...
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
jQuery("#time").change(function(){
var positions = jQuery("#time :selected").attr("rel"); //this grabs the rel from time
//this is where it should create a list of options to append(??) to the select list..
jQuery("#showQuantity").show(); //this shows the hidden field for quantity
});
</script>
I hope it makes sense, but I'm stuck on it. Thank you in advance :)
