How do you hide a dropdown box using java script/jquery
<p>I have the following code to hide an essay question or open text.<br>
I'd like to have the same effect but hide a drop down box.</p>

<p>In this example below if you select the "I will write in my choice below" the essay question will auto remove. I need to change this essay question to a drop down and I need the supporting Jquery to make the drop down dissaper if the write in choice is selected.</p>

<p>Please select your First Choice from the drop down or tell us that you will "Write In" or choice by selecting "I will "Write In" my choice below.<br>
    <strong><em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em></strong><br>
    <strong><em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em></strong><br>
    <strong><em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em>__<em>_</em></strong><br></p>

<p>Q. I will "Write In" my choice below.<br></p>

<pre><code>jQuery(function($){
   $('input[type=checkbox]',$('#table1')).click(function(){
     if($(this).is(':checked')){
        $('textarea',$('#table1')).empty().hide();
     } else {$('textarea',$('#table1')).show();}
   });
});
</code></pre>

<p>Thank you!</p>
