Display text_field if checkbox checked

Hi!

I've been trying to figure out how to display a text_field if a checkbox on my form is checked. If the checkbox is unchecked, the text_field is removed.

If anybody has an example or tutorial on this, that would be great. I'm going to do some more searching in google now and not the group...but if anybody can help, that would be awesome.

Thanks, mike

something like this ought to do it:

<%= check_box :foo, :box, :onclick => "document.getElementById('foo_bar').style.display = (this.checked ? 'inline' : 'none');" %> <%= text_field :foo, :bar, :style => ((params[:foo] and params[:foo] [:box] == '1') ? 'display:inline' : 'display:none') %>

I don't mean to be a pain...i'm really greatful that you took the time to help me out.

But, is there also a way I can display a snippet of text when the text_field pops up as well?

For others, I figured it out. It seems to work the same...
