Need help with the change function

Need help with the change function

Hey Guys. I have wrote a script that hides to 3 input fields when the drop down "Cash" has been selected. It drop down gets removed but the values are still being grabbed by the POST variables. I would like to completly remove them not only hide.

 I have looked into the remove function and when I  have appended the remove function my fields didn't hide at all. Only hides with show and hide.

 Do you guys have any ideas on how to make this work.. ??? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Below is my code.



  1. {  $("#payment_method").change(function() {
            if($(this).val() == "Cash"){ 


  2. // I would like to hide and remove the following fields.
      $("#credit_card_number, #card_expiry_month, #card_expiry_year, #expiration_date")hide..remove();
          } else {
            $("#credit_card_number, #card_expiry_month, #card_expiry_year, #expiration_date").show();}
                }
                });
