Is it possible to have a drop down box that displays a result when someone chooses a selection?

For instance, I have a box with multiple selections like "cat, Dog, bear."
If someone chooses "cat" a result would be displayed associated with cat.

Like:

"Cats are lazy and affectionate."

I know this must be simple but I cant seem to wrap my head around it. I've tried a hidden field, but I think maybe dynamic drop down or maybe stored in the database? I hate to use hyperlinks to other pages. What a mess that would be...

Thanks!!!

Hello,

If you want to display a text in the frontend area after selecting an option, then you can try a Conditional Fields approach. More on this here.

If however you are trying to change the email message based on the user selection, you can try an {if} condition approach similarly as instructed here.
