How to hide and show fields in HTML based on selection

I have this code and what I want is that if you click on 'tags' or 'producten, is that you see the options under 'foo' or 'products' based on your selection. So if I click on 'tags' the fields in 'products' shouldn't be available.

I tried to do it with Javascript, but so far I can't get it working cause I don't have a lot experience with it.

See my code below:

<p>
    <select name="choice" style="width: 212px;">
        <option id="tags"name ="tags" value="tags">Tags</option>
        <option id ="producten"name ="producten" value="producten">Producten</option>

    </select>
</p>

<p id="foo" style ="display;none" >

<select name = "id" style="width": 212px;>
        <option  value="id">id</option>
        <option  value="customer_id"></option>
    </select>       
    <select name ="created_at" style="width":212px;>
        <option  value="created_at">created_at</option>
        <option  value="customer_id"></option>
    </select>
    <select name ="is_visible" style="width": 212px;>
        <option  value="is_visible">is_visible</option>
        <option  value="customer_id"></option>
    </select>   
    <select name ="products_count" style="width": 212px;>
        <option  value="products_count">products_count</option>
        <option  value="customer_id"></option>
    </select>   
    <select name ="slug" style="width": 212px;>
        <option  value="slug">slug</option>
        <option  value="customer_id"></option>
    </select>   
    <select name ="title" style="width": 212px;>
        <option  value="title">title</option>
        <option value="customer_id"></option>
    </select>   
    <select name ="updated_at" style="width": 212px;>
        <option  value="updated_at">updated_at</option>
        <option value="customer_id"></option>
    </select>
</p>


 <p id="products" style ="display;none" >
        <select name ="title" style="width": 212px;>
        <option  value="title">title</option>
        <option value="customer_id"></option>
    </select>
 </p>

This is the Javascript that I am using with this code, but it's not really working:

        $(document).ready(function (){
        $("#tags").change(function() {
            // foo is the id of the other select box 
            if ($(this).val() != "producten") {
                $("#foo").show();
            }else{
                $("#foo").hide();
            } 
        });
    });

    $(document).ready(function (){
        $("#producten").change(function() {
            // foo is the id of the other select box 
            if ($(this).val() != "tags") {
                $("#products").show();
            }else{
                $("#products").hide();
            } 
        });
    });

For one thing, don't use "display;none"! Use "display: none". Also you won't need JQuery for this, normal javascript can do just fine. First, change the select tag to this:

<select name="choice" id="choice" style="width: 212px;">
    <option id="tags"name ="tags" value="tags">Tags</option>
<option id ="producten"name ="producten" value="producten">Producten</option>

Next, set the style of "foo" to "display: block", then set the style of products to "display: none". Now use this javascript code:

var choice = document.getElementById("choice");
var foo = document.getElementById("foo");
var products = document.getElementById("products");

choice.onchange = function(){
  if(choice.value == "tags"){
    foo.style.display = "block";
    products.style.display = "none";
  }
  else if(choice.value == "producten"){
    foo.style.display = "none";
    products.style.display = "block";
  }
}
