Making second set of radio buttons appear after checking first set

[erinql]

Hi all!

I'm modifying an employee db, and it needs 2 new fields: Type & Status. When radio button 'type' (Employee/Machine) is chosen, I need Status to show up without going back to the server.

status(1/2/3) will have different text values according to type. (Either Hired/Active/Term or Off-line/On-line/Disposed)

So how do I make status show up with correct text, after type is chosen? Here's the current code (with some php in it):

<tr>
<td bgcolor=&quot;#E6E6E6&quot;>
<b>Type</b>
</td>
<td bgcolor=&quot;#E6E6E6&quot;>
<? if ($users[type] == &quot;E&quot {
$check_E = &quot;checked&quot;;
}
elseif ($users[type] == &quot;M&quot {
$check_M = &quot;checked&quot;;
}
?>
<input tabindex=&quot;15&quot; name=&quot;type&quot; type=&quot;radio&quot; <? echo $check_E;?>>Employee <br/>
<input tabindex=&quot;16&quot; name=&quot;type&quot; type=&quot;radio&quot; <? echo $check_M;?>>Machine
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<b>Status</b>
</td>
<td>
<? if ($users[status] == &quot;1&quot {
$check_1 = &quot;checked&quot;;
}
elseif ($users[status] == &quot;2&quot {
$check_2 = &quot;checked&quot;;
}
elseif ($users[status] == &quot;3&quot {
$check_3 = &quot;checked&quot;;
}
?>
<input tabindex=&quot;17&quot; name=&quot;status&quot; type=&quot;radio&quot; <? echo $check_1.'>'.$stat[1];?> <br/>
<input tabindex=&quot;18&quot; name=&quot;status&quot; type=&quot;radio&quot; <? echo $check_2.'>'.$stat[2];?> <br/>
<input tabindex=&quot;19&quot; name=&quot;status&quot; type=&quot;radio&quot; <? echo $check_3.'>'.$stat[3];?> <br/>
</td>
</tr>
