Message: <blockquote data-quote="ryangate2" data-source="post: 28972633" data-attributes="member: 579789">The issue with your code is the use of `!important` within JavaScript to change CSS styles. The `!important` rule is a part of CSS and it's not supposed to be used with JavaScript in this way. It has no effect in JavaScript and can cause your code not to work as expected.Here's the correct code:```javascriptconst selectElementOrc1 = document.getElementById('meta_orcapplicable');const displayElementOrc1 = document.getElementById('new_orcincluded');selectElementOrc1.onchange = function() {  if (selectElementOrc1.value === 'Applicable') {    displayElementOrc1.style.display = 'block';  } else {    displayElementOrc1.style.display = 'none';  }};```This will show and hide your `displayElementOrc1` based on the value of `selectElementOrc1`. However, if you have some CSS rules that are using `!important` to set the display of `displayElementOrc1` and you still want to override them from JavaScript, you will need to use CSS classes instead.For instance:```css/* Add this in your CSS */.display-block-important {    display: block !important;}.display-none-important {    display: none !important;}```And your JavaScript will be:```javascriptconst selectElementOrc1 = document.getElementById('meta_orcapplicable');const displayElementOrc1 = document.getElementById('new_orcincluded');selectElementOrc1.onchange = function() {  if (selectElementOrc1.value === 'Applicable') {    displayElementOrc1.classList.remove('display-none-important');    displayElementOrc1.classList.add('display-block-important');  } else {    displayElementOrc1.classList.remove('display-block-important');    displayElementOrc1.classList.add('display-none-important');  }};```This will effectively override any existing CSS rules with the `!important` declaration.</blockquote>
