select box after drop down choice

    I have a unique request that I can't find any answer to on the forums. I want to be able to have some Checkboxes selected automatically after a user chooses a specific option from a Drop Down menu. I'm assuming that I would have to use ajax for this and I'm hoping that it wouldn't be too involved customizing the form for this functionality.

    My other option is to have the users enter the form through a link that populates these areas for the user automatically - but I know that there would be some users who would find the direct form link and bypass the pre-filled options.

    Any suggestions? (hopefully that post isn't too confusing)

    OK, this post must be a little confusing to everyone, so here is an example of what I need to make happen for my gravity form......

    http://jsfiddle.net/yqzXZ/1/

    When you view the sample, you'll see that choosing option 3 from the drop down automatically checks the box and greys it out preventing the user from unchecking the box.

    Any suggestions on where to start? I couldn't make the code from the fiddle work on my site.

    Let me ask around and see if anyone on the team has any ideas for this one.

    Hi Matt,

    What issue were you running into when you attempting to implement that code on your site? You should be able to simply replace the IDs of the select and checkbox input with the IDs from your form. Could you attempt to implement and provide a link to your own implementation? I'll take a look and see what is not working. :)

    I tried it again, this time I turned off the "Enable enhanced user interface" feature of my drop down (I didn't need it anyway). And it's still not working. I'm getting a java error of "$("#input_3_21") is null".

    Here is the form url - http://www.maidonearth.com/cleaning-estimate
