Hello!

I have a small question about form fields. I want a user to choose between selectin a value in a drop down menu or to write a value in a text field if the value is missing in the drop down. How can I do that?

Thanks,

Johan

It'd be a JS (JavaScript). In a way you wouldn't need JS to do anything because you can have the text field there anyway, but if you want the textfield to be disabled then activate when a user chooses "Other..." in your dropdown, then that's all JS (JavaScript).

DMXzone has some great JS articles about controling and handling forms & form objects.
