Drop Box to create other objects

[MattSander]

I am attempting to create a mail form where several inputs will change depending on the user's selection on an initial drop box. I've been trying to use the OnFocus= command but I am not familiar with java.

<SELECT name="contactStyle">
<OPTION value="email">E-Mail</OPTION>
<OPTION value="telephone">Telephone</OPTION>
</SELECT>

When a user selects either option, I want to have another <TEXTAREA> become visible. How can this be done without reloading the page?

you need to find a javascript forum. this is a php forum.

You can do this with CSS styling though
function showIt(divid)
{
document.getElementById(divid).style.display="none";
}

And block hides it.... easy as... (but try the JS forums though...)

When looking for stuff like this, I end up in www.dynamicdrive.com, you ll have to think about how to intergrate your php with the client side stuff. It is workable, just needs a bit more thought
