title: jQuery - How to show/hide text box based on selected drop down
body: <p>Sorry if this is extremely obvious, but I have looked and looked for a solution but haven't found anything. I'm very new to jQuery, so even looking for what I want to do has been hard.</p>
  
  <p>I have a page with a bunch of fields and drop down boxes that are populated from a database. So each drop down has the correct item (the one stored in the database) selected when the page loads. When that option is "Other" I want my Other text box to show up. </p>
  
  <p>So, the question is; how do I show/hide that text box based on the selected drop down item when the page loads? Everything I have been able to find in my research has been related to the drop down menu changing. This works fine for one of the other pages I have. I don't want to have to reselect "Other" (triggering the change event).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
