@yaronamirNov 01.2009 — you need to add onchange event to th e select input

and check something like this

onchange="checkOther(this.value)"

funnction checkOther(val){

if(val=="other")

document.getElementById("yourOtherInputID").style.visibility = 'visible';

}

P.S.

you need to add to the "other" input style="visible:hidden"

Just look through my code and it does exactly what you want. ?

Open that page with IE to see the solution. It will not be visible with FF or other browsers. ?
