enable textbox with select option

[fmuddy]

hi everybody,

i am trying to enable a textbox object when the user select an option from dropdown list.

Can anybody help please?

You can use onchange on the select element to call a function. In this function, get the text box with document.getEle mentById() and then set its disabled property to false.

If you can't get it to work, post your code

<form name="form1">
	Select Subject ::	<select name="subject">
			<option value="php" onclick="hide_other()">PHP </option>
			<option value="asp"  onclick="hide_other()">ASP </option>
			<option value="html" onclick="hide_other()">HTML </option>	
			<option value="java"  onclick="hide_other()">JAVA</option>	
			<option value="other" onclick="view_other()">Other</option>							
	</select>
	<input type="text" name="other_suject" id="other_subject" style="display:none;"/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
	function view_other()
	{	
		document.getElementById("other_subject").style.display="block";
	}	
	function hide_other()
	{
		document.getElementById("other_subject").style.display="none";	
	}
</script>

Seems very inefficient (adding an onclick event to each individual option). Add an onchange to the select element instead.
