I'm working on a form where i have a a set of radio buttons where one of those buttons represents a chioce called 'Other.' After that, I want them to enter text for 'other' in a text box. Here's the problem: I don't want the user to be given that text box until they click the radio button for 'other.' How can I have the text box either invisible or 'grayed-out' right up to the point the user clicks 'other?'

I'd rather do it this way:
<body onload="hide()">
<input type="text" id="boo" style="display: inline;">

This way, the textbox is available to the 13% users who turn off javascript.

Nice catch, I didn't think of that.
