DOM - select field and JS event ... does that work?

[kimera]

Hi.

I try to hide a <div> object when the user clicks or focus' the an option within a select field. But that doesn't work. However, it works if I put that onclick event right after <select name=... onclick=&quot;akfja()&quot;>.

Can somebody tell me how I could have appear second select filed if a user focus' an option of that select menu?

<option onclick=&quot;...&quot;>

I regret it doesn't work on the level <OPTION value ...> of the select field. On the top level of the select field only!!! Any other ideas?

anyway, thanks for your help

then let the onchange fires at the select level
and in the function you call in the onchange, check which option is selected, if it's one of those you want, make the 2nd select field appear
something like :
function display_field() {
if (the_form.the_select_field.options[the_form.the_select_field.selectedIndex].value==&quot;anything&quot
// then show the 2nd field
}
and
<select name=the_select_field onchange=&quot;display_field()&quot;>
...
</select>
