Get value of selection list by jQuery

Need help on the client-side script.

the value for this field is character. if I select "1" it supposed to hide the "Nationality_of_spouse" field. the code below did not do the trick. not sure if I missed anything.

{ // keys = event types, values = handler functions
	"change": function(e) {
		// Your code
	if (this.value == '1') {
	    $(this).fields("Nationality_of_spouse").visible(false);
	    $(this).fields("Nationality_of_spouse").value("N/A");
     } else {
         		$(this).fields("Nationality_of_spouse").visible(true);
        } 
	}
}

appreciate if can help.

As always, you may press F12 from your browser, and check whether any Javascript error message from Console panel.

If your Edit Tag for the field is SELECT or RADIO (not textbox), you cannot use this.value to get the selected value, you should use $(this).val() or $(this).value().

Have changed the code as below and it's now working.

	if ($(this).fields("marital_status").value() != '1')
	{
	    $(this).fields("Nationality_of_spouse").visible(true);
     } else {
         		$(this).fields("Nationality_of_spouse").visible(false);
         		$(this).fields("Nationality_of_spouse").value("N/A");
        }

Thanks!
