How to add pages based on a dropdown value ?

Question

I have two template pages that I would like to appear if one of the three options are selected in a dropdown menu on a first permanent page. If option A is selected, I would like the first template page to appear. If B or C is selected, I would like the second template page to appear. What is the javascript code for this ?

Assuming the dropdown values are A, B, and C, select "Commit selected value immediately" in the options tab of the dropdown then enter the following custom validation script:

if(event.value=="A")

{this.getTemplate("Template 1").spawn();}

if (event.value == "B" || event.value=="C")

{this.getTemplate("Template 2").spawn();}

Something like this: var t1 = this.getTemplate("Template1");var t2 = this.getTemplate("Template2");if (event.value == "A")t1.spawn(this.numPages, false, false);else if(event.value == "B" || event.value == "C")t2.spawn(this.numPages, false, false);You could also add to the script to delete a page, if for example you select A and then change your mind and select B or C.
