I have setup a 4phases multiple dependent dropdown fields. I want to select region then country, owned or franchise and finally store name.
My issues: 1) Show/hide works OK but doesn’t reset values when I choose “-”. This mean that I can choose one store, then change my opinion, choose another option from upper field category and choose a second store. The POST will have both values. I want to reset the first value when I choose another option
2) Store names have all name attribute store_name. I can’t managed to make it record correctly on mysql db while I used implode().
jQuery:
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("#region").bind("change",function(){
var selectedValue=$(this).val().toLowerCase();
switch(selectedValue){
case "asia":
$("#country_asia").show();
$("#country_america").hide()
$("#country_europe").hide()
break;
case "america":
$("#country_asia").hide();
$("#country_america").show();
$("#country_europe").hide();
break;
case "europe":
$("#country_asia").hide();
$("#country_america").hide();
$("#country_europe").show();
break;
case "-":
$("#country_asia").hide()
$("#country_america").hide()
$("#country_europe").hide()
break;
}
});
$("#country_europe_dd").change(function()
{
var selectedValue=$(this).val().toLowerCase();
if(selectedValue == "greece")
{
$("#owned_gr").show();
}
else if(selectedValue == "-")
{
$("#owned_gr").hide();
}
})
$("#owned_gr_dd").change(function()
{
var selectedValue=$(this).val().toLowerCase();
if(selectedValue == "own")
{
$("#store_name").show();
$("#store_name_greece_fran").hide();
}
else if(selectedValue == "fran")
{
$("#store_name_greece_fran").show();
$("#store_name").hide();
}
else if(selectedValue == "-")
{
$("#store_name").hide();
$("#store_name_greece_fran").hide();
}
})
});
</script>

PHP:
$store_name = implode($_POST['store_name']);
EDIT: From your comment below, sounds like solving #1 will also solve #2.
For #1, Whenever you hide an element, set its value to - as well. E.g.
case "asia":
$("#country_asia").show();
$("#country_america").hide();
$("#country_america").val("-");
$("#country_europe").hide();
$("#country_europe").val("-");
break;
Or, using vanilla JS:
document.getElementById("country_europe_dd").value = '-';
For #2, I can't see anything wrong with your code. Can you elaborate? Maybe include sample output of what you're seeing for $store_name?
I found the solution.
I have to go one step further on jQuery and use val(). I reset other category values when i select specific values on the field i choose
$("#store_name_greece_fran_dd").change(function()
{
var selectedValue=$(this).val().toLowerCase();
if(selectedValue == "athens" || selectedValue == "athens" || selectedValue == "crete" || selectedValue == "crete")
{
$("#store_name_owned_dd").val('');
}
})
