How to check for multiple values in a jquery IF st…

I have the below code which shows/hides a div based on an option in a dropdown, however it only toggles when a user selects 1. There are a few items in my dropdown that I’d like to show the DIV for. For example, let’s say I have values 1 through 8 in my dropdown, and I want to show a DIV when a user has selected 4, 6, and 7. I don’t want the DIV to toggle off and hide if a user changes selection from 4 to 6 either.

    $(document).ready(function(){
    $('#TypeofAction').on('change', function() {
      if ( this.value == '1') 
      //.....................^.......
      {
        $("#business").show();
      }
      else
      {
        $("#business").hide();
      }
    });
        
});

Answer

Use an array to store the “On” values and check that using the boolean display variable in jquery’s toggle:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#TypeofAction').on('change', function() {
    let onVals = ["4", "6", "7"];
    $("#business").toggle(onVals.includes(this.value));
  });
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="TypeofAction">
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
  <option value="4">4</option>
  <option value="5">5</option>
  <option value="6">6</option>
  <option value="7">7</option>
  <option value="8">8</option>
  <option value="9">9</option>
  <option value="10">10</option>
</select>
<div id="business">It's busness time!</div>
