If I copy the code from here: https://jsfiddle.net/agt10exp/
It's working fine on fiddle, however when I make a new file on my pc and just paste the code in it, I get the same layout, however it's not functioning properly (added the <html></html>
and <script src....></script>
to my code:
(P.s I'm a Python programmer so maybe the problem is my HTML/Js knowledge)
<html>
I am a </span><select name="parent_selection" id="parent_selection">
<option value="">-- Please Select --</option>
<option value="patient">Patient</option>
<option value="doctor">Doctor or physician</option>
<option value="school">School or parent</option>
<option value="worker">Case worker</option>
</select>
<br /><span>and I need information on</span>
<select name="child_selection" id="child_selection" onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
</select>
</html>
<!------answer 1: not wokring --------------->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script>
var jq81 = jQuery.noConflict();
jq81(document).ready(function($){
//let's create arrays
var patient = [

var worker = [

//If parent option is changed
jq81("#parent_selection").change(function() {

switch(parent){ //using switch compare selected option and populate child
case 'patient':
list(patient);
break;
case 'doctor':

case 'school':
list(school);

case 'worker':
list(worker);
break;
default: //default child option is blank
jq81("#child_selection").html('');
break;
}
});
//function to populate child select box
function list(array_list)
{
jq81("#child_selection").html(""); //reset child options
jq81(array_list).each(function (i) { //populate child options
jq81("#child_selection").append("<option value=\""+array_list[i].value+"\">"+array_list[i].display+"</option>");
});
}
});
</script>
I saw more people who had the same problem:
however, I tried the solutions but I couldn't figure it out, I hope someone can help me out
You declare custom script plus add jquery, but they must be separate:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script>
+ note jquery src url
EDIT: this code works fine in my chrome
<html>
I am a </span><select name="parent_selection" id="parent_selection">
<option value="">-- Please Select --</option>
<option value="patient">Patient</option>
<option value="doctor">Doctor or physician</option>
<option value="school">School or parent</option>
<option value="worker">Case worker</option>
</select>
<br /><span>and I need information on</span>
<select name="child_selection" id="child_selection" onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
</select>
