    For this, you would normally use JavaScript.

    CSS is not designed for this purpose. However, let me try and improvise something.

    I was able to make a popup open and close using only CSS code but this is definitely not the way popups work.

    I suggest you download the full source code of your form and customize it for your needs.

    Your answer was not helpful Adrian, you did not show the CSS code.

    I pasted the form demo URL so you could copy my form and see how it was implemented.

    Please see the following articles on how to clone a form and how to inject custom CSS.

    hi Adrian,

       thx for your help, but I need to show multiple selection in "hey there!" and select the value and replace it with "Open Pop-Up".

    for ex. her I have edited with "hey there1","hey there2","hey there3".

    https://www.jotform.com/build/80417308485156#close

    so when I click on "hey there2", I need it come over to new text value or same text value.

    I see that you added some option in form https://form.jotform.com/80213283714955# but did not get how you added those.

    Here is a screencast that should clarify that:

    It is a CSS that controls how the dropdown will show, and you place the options in the drop-down in a regular way.

    The pop-up link will just target the ID of the drop-down.

    Let us know how it worked and if you need any assistance.

    Thank you!

    I'm sorry, but not sure if I understand the question. Do you want to copy the selected value from the dropdown to a text field? If yes, just get the name of the dropdown, and put it in the text block.

    Example:

    {dropdown8}

    Put this in the text field as (by clicking the "Form Fields" option in the text block):

    I hope that helps.
