What I want to do is create a page with a single drop down menu. Depending on what you select I want changes to occur in page. That is to say I want more form elements to apear after you make your selection. I have toyed with some code from UBB and got the following. http://www.wethe.com/real_time.php anyone know how to creat new form elements? | | | |

If you find out gimme a holler, i'd love to poke around with it! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,255 Likes: 3 UGN Elite | | UGN Elite Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,255 Likes: 3 | http://developer.apple.com/internet/javascript/ This site has a good tut if you only need to mak a few dynamic changes. I found the form I had to build took far too long to load. Basicaly you build X# of forms all in one page and use CSS the <Div> tag and JavaScript to show and hide the forms or elements. The script is fairly complicated as far as javascript goes but it is possible. I found an alomost I deticle solution on http://www.webmonkey.com in the builder section.

<head>
<script language=vbScript>
Sub cmdButton_OnClick
Form1.txtBox.style.visibility = "hidden"
End Sub
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name=Form1>
<input type=text name=txtBox value="">
<input type=button name=cmdButton value="click me">
</form>
</body>
</html> and Form1.txtBox.style.visibility = "visible" would make it visible again.

It didn't work.. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 599 UGN's Resident Homo | | UGN's Resident Homo Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 599 | http://www.currantech.com/vbscript.html it does work, if you copied it into your thing you likely caused the cmdButton_OnClick to run together with Form1.txtBox.style, it must be on different lines. view the source of my example and see.
