making a hidden field visible based on a value 1

[redbay]

i have three hidden fields in my form that i would like to become visible when a user clicks pass to other, how should i do this please?

Well you would need to use either Javascript or VBscript. To run an IF statement.

Thanks, I've written the code and placed it below the code for the checkbox, the page opens but when i click the checkbox the field "PassedTo" does not become visible. Is my code correct or should i have placed it somewhere else??


If <input name="pass" type="checkbox" id="pass" value="checkbox"> = True Then

PassedTo = “Visible”

End If

Why not just put the textfield in a hidden layer and then show it when the checkbox is selected?

for the original script. This will toggle the visibility of the textfield called myText you could easily take out the if statement in the javascript so that you can only disply the field. I also added a line that reverts the value of the field to its original "Can you see me?" when it is hidden. as the value will still be passed when the form is submitted.

<script language="JavaScript">
	function doCheck(me){
		if (me.style.visibility=="hidden"){
			me.style.visibility="visible";
			}
		else {
			me.style.visibility="hidden";
			}
		}
</script>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <p>
    <input name="myText" type="text" value="Can you see me?" style="visibility:hidden">
</p>
  <p>  
    <input type="checkbox" name="myCheck" value="show" onClick="doCheck(myText)">
  </p>
</form>
