How do you set up Input fields where a group of fields are required once one of them has been checked(or filled out).
What I have is a form with about 6 fields. A few of them are required but I also have a few credit card fields that I don't want to be required all the time. I only want the fields pertaining to the credit card info (like #, expiration,etc.) to be required if they choose credit card as the payment type. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Why don't you use divs to show/hide information?

suprcr250,

change the "disabled" property of the optional fields.
[tt]
var df = document.forms[0];

if (/* condition stating optional fields should be enabled */) {
bDisabled = false;
}
else bDisabled = true;

df.optField1.disabled = bDisabled;
df.optField2.disabled = bDisabled;
df.optField3.disabled = bDisabled;
[/tt]

=========================================================
if (!succeed) try();
