    hi. I don't really know how to word this, but what I am wanting to do is this:

     

    I have a form that has a dropdown as the first field. When people select certain options of the dopdown, I will need a box to pop up that will tell them if that is available. For example: It is a weight loss competition. There are different groups that people can join. When they go to join, they will select one of the groups. If a contest is currently in progress with that group, I need a box to pop up and say something like, "Sorry, but the group you selected is currently in the middle of a contest. Please come back later" and then not let them complete the rest of the form. I have created a test form on my account for testing purposes. Here is a link to it.

    Hello,

    There currently is no feature for such option that you're looking for. It can manually be done however by getting the full HTML source of your form and then create a code using Javascript. If you are using a database for it such as MySQL, you can then pull up the information which would print the result into your form using PHP, Javascript, and your database. But you will need to have your own web host for this.

    Note: This is no longer within the coverage of JotForm. Still though, we have support members capable of helping you code to accomplish this.

    Thanks.
