<div>
first, add an ID to your submit button, so you can reference it to show/hide 
 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-40433714-1">&lt;input id=&quot;btnSubmit&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit Request&quot;&gt;
</code></pre>
 
then, either through css or javascript, hide the button on page load. below is an example using javascript/jquery since you already have it present: 
 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-40433714-2">	$(function()
		{
 $('#btnSubmit').hide();

		$(&quot; input[name='ILLRequestType']&quot;).click(function()
 .......
</code></pre>
 
finally, add an event handler for the change event of the field. I'm unsure of which field you want to show/hide the button on, so as an example, I'm just going to attach it to a field called &quot;fld&quot;: 
 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-40433714-3">&lt;script&gt;

	$(function()
		{
 $('#btnSubmit').hide();

		$(&quot; input[name='ILLRequestType']&quot;).click(function()
		
		{
		var type=$(this).val();

			if(type===&quot;Journal Article&quot;){
				$('.chooseJournal').show();
				$('.chooseBook').hide();
 				$('.chooseAudiovisual').hide();
 
 		}
 		if(type===&quot;Book&quot;){
 			$('.chooseJournal').hide();
 			$('.chooseBook').show();
 				$('.chooseAudiovisual').hide();
 		
 		}
 		if(type===&quot;Audiovisual&quot;){
 			$('.chooseJournal').hide();
 			$('.chooseBook').hide();
 				$('.chooseAudiovisual').show();
 		}
 
})

 $(&quot; input[name='fld']&quot;).change(function() {
 //-- put in whatever your criteria is for showing the button. for example, if you want to make sure certain fields contain a value, you would do an IF statement here checking those fields

 //-- your last line if the criteria is met would be
 $('#btnSubmit').show();
 
 } else { //-- criteria not met, hide button
 $('#btnSubmit').hide();
 }
 });
 
})

&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
I need the SUBMIT button to display AFTER the user selects the &quot;ILLRequestType&quot;. 
It would display for each &quot;ILLRequestType&quot; 
 
After adding an ID to the submit button, could the .show be added to the existing function or does submit button function need it's own function code.
</div>

<div>
since that is a radio field, you should be able to show the button in the click event that you already have: 
 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-40433791-1">$(function()
		{
		$(&quot; input[name='ILLRequestType']&quot;).click(function()
		
		{
		var type=$(this).val();
 $('#btnSubmit').show();

			if(type===&quot;Journal Article&quot;){
				$('.chooseJournal').show();
				$('.chooseBook').hide();
 				$('.chooseAudiovisual').hide();
 
 		}
 		if(type===&quot;Book&quot;){
 			$('.chooseJournal').hide();
 			$('.chooseBook').show();
 				$('.chooseAudiovisual').hide();
 		
 		}
 		if(type===&quot;Audiovisual&quot;){
 			$('.chooseJournal').hide();
 			$('.chooseBook').hide();
 				$('.chooseAudiovisual').show();
 		}
 
})
 
})
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
I assigned an ID to the submit button and addded 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; $('#btnSubmit').show(); 
 
to the IF statements function. The Submit button is still appearing before the user clicks on the option &quot;ILLRequestType&quot;.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

jQuery

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
