</div>

I am having difficulties - probably simple but just missing it.  
  
  
  
I have a form with a checkbox with 3 values. Only one of the three maybe selected. But based on the selection I need an additional field to show based on selection.  
  
I need to show a simple text area field for when either of the 3 is checked.  
  
  
  
For example:  
  
If Selection 1 ticked  
  
Text area shows up with label please enter your relevant serial number related to this product- with text area  
  
or Selection 2 ticked  
  
Text area shows up with label please enter your relevant batch number related to this product - with text area  
  
  
  
Can’t seem to figure out how to do this Please help
