Hi Everyone. I hope that someone can help me with a problem that I am having and I thank everyone who reads this.

Ok, here is my problem:

Just alittle background- I am using DreamweaverMX, and I am creating a table inside a form.

I am trying to create a feedback form. In one of the fields, I am using a checkbox yes/no, which is on the left side of the table. On the right side, I am asking the user if he/she would like email updates. What I want to do is this: If the user clicks the checkbox, a text area will appear where the user can input there email address. If they don't click the checkbox, the text area will not appear.

I hope that I have explained it well enough to understand.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have tried entering in Javascript, but can't seem to get it correct. I have also tried to do a onClick behavior, but can't get that right.

Any suggestions/code samples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance for your help!

Don

Hi,

The following is one approach you can take:

<?php
&lt;script type='text/javascript'&gt;
function doit()
{
  var theTextBox = document.getElementById('eAdd')
  theTextBox.style.display =  (theForm.theBox.checked) ? 'block' : 'none';
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</head>
<body>
<form name=\"theForm\">
<input type=\"checkbox\" onclick='doit()' name=\"theBox\">
<input id=\"theDiv\" style=\"display:none\" type=\"text\" name=\"eAdd\">

</form>
</body>
?>
