    Hello,

    I’m trying to set up a city selection form where the user selects the state/province to reveal the city drop down box. After they select the city name I want them to be able to click a button and hop to an anchor on the page.

    So far this is my form

    Dropdown: Select the State/Province

    Dropdown: Select the City (the value from this form should be used as the anchor in the button link)

    Button: This is what is in the onClick field – location.href=’#calgary’ but I want calgary to switch based on what is in the City drop down menu.

    This is what I want it to do – location.href=’#”fieldname3 value”‘

    Is this possible in this plugin?

    Thanks!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @themikep87

    I’ll try to describe the process with a hypothetical example.

    Assuming there are two fields in the form: fieldname1 and fieldname2 and you want pass it to the URL: http://www.website.com/page/?param1=<value of fieldname1>&param2=<value of fieldname2>

    First, insert a calculated field in the form, configured as hidden (there is checkbox in its settings for hiding it from the public form), and associate to it the equation:

    
(function(){
document.location.href="http://www.website.com/page/?param1="+fieldname1+"&param2="+fieldname2;
})()

    Second, insert a calculate button in the form. It is a button field where you have selected the “Calculate” option as the button’s type.

    Finally, go to the “Form Settings” tab (https://cff.dwbooster.com/images/documentation/form-settings-tab.png), and untick the checkbox: “Eval dynamically the equations associated to the calculated fields”, to be sure the equation will be evaluated only by pressing the previous button.

    and that’s all.
    Best regards.
