Mark,
Here's some general sketching to help you along. There are likely
other/better ways to go about this, but this should work out for you.
Where "selectVar" is the id of the select box:
$j("#selectVar").change( function() { // when something is selected run
this
var containsStar = $j("#selectVar").val().indexOf('*');
/* if var mynewvar = 'bobx*' containsStar would = 4
if var mynewvar = 'bobx' containsStar would = -1 */
if (containsStar >= 0) {
$(".additionalInput").show();
}
});
Kindest,
Wil Everts
