Im trying to create a form to send me an email when the user fills all the fields, I followed a tutorial to put it together so whats there works, but I want to implement an option that allows people to pick other... Heres how it is:
I have a form that asks for your: Name, Email, Type and Message.
The type has 4 options: Feedback, Bug Report, Feature Request and other, I would love if when the other radio button is clicked then the text box HAS to have an input, so they cant just skip by pressing other, but if they pick something else that isnt other then I dont want them to have to type in the text box, but no matter what I try it either doesnt work at all or HAS to have an input in the text box even if I dont select the other radio button...
The problem is resolved, I request that this topic remains open so that others can continue to use this page, or incase I break something... Thanks Rasclatt, You were an amazing help :)
