Form Submit onChange?

[gsam]

I don't think this is possible but I have a client who has requested that the customer fields change depending on the customer type.

I added a custom customer field for 'customer-type' and I use it as a drop-down select box at the top of the customer fields. His idea is that if someone selected a customer type of 'Individual' the Company field would disappear.

I'm not even sure I could get the form to submit with a selection box onChange event. But if I could I assume it would throw errors unless every customer field was set to optional.

Does anyone have a idea of how to do this or should I just tell the client sorry, can't do that.

You could cheat and have the drop down box submit the form and direct to another page that was specific to the selection.

Or have the drop down actually just show/hide the fields. You'd have to give each field area (its a div, so handy) an ID (say of the field "NAME" value).

But personally, its a bit of work for what amounts to a stupid feature (as explained). Why make me, the customer, think. What advantage to I get? Oh, I see if I see, read, understand and use this dropdown, I don't have to leave the Company field empty<G>.
