You'd have to use the Product Field instead. You can configure the Product Field so it functions the same way as I described above. fastpipe on "Donation fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/donation-fields#post-27878 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 18:48:33 +0000 fastpipe 27878@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I'm going to try this out tomorrow, but instead of a donation field, on the form for recurring donations, if I just make subscription fields instead of donation fields, that should work, right? My javascript actually works, but just not when the form is all put together. Also, just an observation, but I've noticed that multiple choice donation fields and multiple choice subscription fields have different CSS. With the donation fields, the radio buttons appear horizontal and with the subscription fields, the radio buttons appear vertical. Shouldn't they be the same? dwenaus on "Donation fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/donation-fields#post-27876 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 18:40:46 +0000 dwenaus 27876@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ @carl, but will that solution work for recurring donations?

Since you have pre-selected the first radio button choice as the default value the user will have always made a choice and since you made the 2nd Donation Field required if the user chooses "Other" they would have to enter a value in the 2nd Donation Field that is displayed via conditional logic. fastpipe on "Donation fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/donation-fields#post-27658 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:57:16 +0000 fastpipe 27658@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I think you understand what I have in mind and I am using two different forms, one for a recurring subscription charge and one for one-time donations. Using two different forms isn't a big deal, but I do want to suggest some amounts and then offer an "other" option for each form. The forms without the other option are at: Subscription: <a href="http://thisibelieve.org/support/" rel="nofollow">http://thisibelieve.org/support/</a> Donation: <a href="http://thisibelieve.org/support/donate/" rel="nofollow">http://thisibelieve.org/support/donate/</a> The static form I uploaded has one of the forms. It works so long as I just include the two fields and not the entire form. The javascript problem I have is probably a selector issue, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

I misunderstood your original request and did not realize that the donation was to be processed as a one time fee. This complicates the issue beyond a javascript solution and would necessitate a more invovled PHP solution to dynamically update the PayPal feed from a subscription to a product transaction. The only other "front end" solution would be to load two unique forms. One configured with a subscription PayPal feed the other with a product & services PayPal feed. The subscription form would be displayed by default, the other would be hidden with CSS. When the "other" option is selected on the subscription form, you could use javascript to hide the subscription from completely and in it's place show the donation form. This solution would not be much harder than what you're currently attempting... so maybe worth a shot. Sorry for any of your time wasted by the misunderstanding. fastpipe on "Donation fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/donation-fields#post-27540 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 11:02:38 +0000 fastpipe 27540@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I was headed out for a much-needed few days of R&R. Here's the static page I've been using to test the script... <a href="http://www.fastpipe.com/media/field-change.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.fastpipe.com/media/field-change.html</a> The part that's visible works exactly as I want; the full form is in the source and commented out and that's where it doesn't work. Thanks for any help you can offer...

When you choose a number, it populates the donation field with the amount and hides it; when you choose "Other" it shows the donation field. Works exactly like I want on a simple form with just those two fields, but doesn't work at all on the entire form. I'm pulling my hair out over this one 'cause there must be a conflict, but I can't seem to find it.

There is no default way to do this in Gravity Forms so it will require some custom code and little familiarity/learning with javascript. :)
