It worked! Wow you rock thanks!

Without looking at what the actual input classes are called, there is a bit of a problem with your jQuery selector. You need to precede "$('Field18_other_value input').val('Test');" with a "#" for an element with the id attribute set to "Field18_other_value" or with a "." for an element whose class is set to "Field18_other_value". I'm going to take a guess and say it is an id in which case your jQuery selector would be "$('#Field18_other_value input').val('Test');". Try that and let me know.

Not entirely sure what you are asking, but I did get the part that you are trying to "check" the checkbox labeled "Other". If that is the case, you can use the following javascript to do so:

$('input:checkbox[value=Other]').prop('checked',true);

You may need to tweak the value to the specific value you gave the checkbox.

Thanks for your reply. maybe if I include a screen shot for the form that would explain it better. So for the "Other" choice below, I'm not sure how to check when that item is selected because I can't assign a value to it like the choices 1-4. I tried looking for "Other" as seen in the script, but it is not working..

That worked! Thanks

Chris,

Your script above helped a ton.  Taking this a bit further, I would like to know how we can input a value in this 'Other' field.  I have the following code that is checking the box correctly, but no value is being added to the 'Other' input field.  

var value = $('.trans input').val();
    switch (value){
      case "1": 
			document.getElementById('Field18-0').checked = true;
          break;      
      case "10": 
			document.getElementById('Field18_other').checked = true;
			$('Field18_other_value input').val('Test');
          break;
      default:
};

Can you please tell me what I need to add to get a value entered in this box?  See Form below

Thanks,

Nate

I would expect you could target it using:

$('#OtherField18').val('Text');

That worked - I needed to take out the 'input' as well, but I got it to work.  Thanks for your help Chris!
