Help With Hiding/Showing Inpu Box with checkbox

smurfer · Aug 21, 2001

I have a form that contains a checkbox, and also have a textarea that corresponds to this check box. I want to hide the textarea by default, but if the user checks the checkbox, I want the textarea to become visible for input. So if the user selcts the checkbox, the textarea appears? What and how is the easiest way to do this?
Thanks,
SM

You have to use VbScript/JavaScript

here's the code with vbscript
<Script>

sub Boxstatus()
document.all.t1.style.display = "none"
document.all.c1.checked= "false"
If (document.all.c1.checked= true) then
document.all.t1.style.display = "inline"
end if

end sub

<body onload="BoxStatus()">

<input type="checkbox" name="c1" id = "c1" value =1 onchange="BoxStatus()">
<input type=text name="t1" >

</Body>

Hope this helps
Pls check the syntax
