Visibility Problem

[wood]

I am trying to set up one of my pages so that if the user clicks on a radio button, a text box dissappears. If the user clicks on another radio button, that same text box reappears.

Can anyone help me with my problem?

Here is what I am trying:

function terms(formObj){
with (formObj){
if (elements[87].checked == true){
elements[88].visibility = "show";
}
else{
elements[88].visibility = "hide";
}
}
}

The code that I currently have does not hide or show the text box. What I am trying to do is just that, make the text box appear or disappear if the user clicks on different radio buttons.

if you're using IE then you need to change the visibility to either 'visible' or 'hidden'. 'show' and 'hide' are for netscape only, and I don't think you can hide thows elements like that at all in NS, you'd probably have to use layers, but I'm not a NS guru jared@aauser.com

jaredn is correct. Also you address the 'visibility' property differently in IE from NS.

In IE it is a property of the 'style' property of the element:

elements[88].style.visibility = ...;

while in NS I think jaredn is correct, you go through the 'layer' object to access 'visibility'. I also am not versed in the NS object unmodel. B-)
