Enable text box when specific option is selected
in [JavaScript]
|
Prev: hide whole body but one div
Next: can a function change fields without having "onchange()" in field defintion?
From: jschlosser on 2 Jul 2008 11:09 I can enable a text box with an onChange if ANY option is selected from a select list, but how do I do this for a specific selection? Even better would be if the field didn't appear until after the event. This is for those selecting "other" to tell us what "other" is. Thanks. J Schlosser

Then (enable and show) or (disable and hide) the text area using something like textarea.disabled=true;textarea.style.display='none'; Give it a try with a complete demo web page that is just 40 lines or less. If you have troubles you can post that code which will give people a way to help you better. Peter |
