    Hello,

    I am pretty bad at javascript. Essentially I have a form with a pulldown menu. In the pulldown menu there is a "Other" option. WHat I want to happen when the user selects "other" is for another field to appear next to it and allow them to type in something.

    Can someone show me an example? I couldn't find one online but I know it is possible. :)

    I was using just standard HTML to create the form.

    <select name="color">
    <option value="Other">Other</option>
    </select>

    That is how I currently have it setup (minus some css stuff).

    I Just want a <input type="text" name="other"> to appear if Other is selected in the pull down menu.

    <script>
    function ShowHideTextBox() {
    if (document.getElementByName("color").value == "Other")
    {
    document.getElementById("textboxDiv").style.display = "block";
    }
    else
    {
    document.getElementById("textboxDiv").style.display = "none";
    }
    }
    </script>


    <select name="color" onclick="ShowHideTextBox()">
    <option value="Other">Other</option>
    </select>

    <div style="display:none;" id="textboxDiv">
    <input name="this_is_the_text_box" />
    </div>
