You mean in the text written to the client?
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN .......> will not display on the screen BUT it is not for secret data since it can be easily viewed by VIEWING the SOURCE and there is no way to prevent that. Some early stupid shopping carts applications stored the cart data with prices in hidden fields and some bright individuals just modified them through the client side object model and sent them back to the browser, just like printing your own price labels before UPC scanning.

I want a Text field displayed in the browser when the user clicks a check box,
I want to do this without loading another page.
I hope that's more detailed and less vague.

O.K. I think I understand. Your trying to display a text box after a person selects a certain check box Like a check box that says other and if it is clicked then a text field will appear to enter in the Data for the Other. I would use a Style command to hide the text field then an onchange on the box to display the field if needed. Like this
Be careful these scripts ARE case sensitive with reguards to the names
Hope this helps
