I have a mattress site i am making and I am almost done with it so this is urgent. I have characteristics that describe the mattress. I then have product variants of that mattress: twin, twin xl, queen etc. I basically have 3 custom fields that I only want to show up under the variants not the main product. Also, under the variants how can I hide all the custom fields on the main product they automatically show up on the variants and they do not need to be there. Also if you can think of a solution to where I can make a custom field show based off of the product characteristic dropdown selection. This is what I have been trying to figure out because it seems like the easier way to go about this? I already have the 3 fields i need for each characteristic in my main product. I know this requires some javascript, but I do not quite know how to write it or where to place it at?How would I go about doing this way?

Thanks, Josh")* Hi, Restricting the custom fields display based on the characteristics selection will indeed require you to add custom javascript. The exact code will depend on how is done your website. Here is an example: [ api.jquery.com/change/](http://api.jquery.com/change/) so the code would be something like that: Code: $('#characteristic_dropdown_id').change(){ if($('#characteristic_dropdown_id').val()=='my_characteristic_value'){ $('#custom_field_row_id').css('display',''); }else{ $('#custom_field_row_id').css('display','block'); } } Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMxLWRldmVsb3BtZW50Lzg2NDkwMC1jdXN0b20tZmllbGRzLXRoYXQtb25seS1zaG93LW9uLXZhcmlhbnRzP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
