Hide/Show html forms using javascript

Apr 28th, 2008

Hi guys,

I am working on a webpage which holds 2 different html forms. One of them is a radio button form and the other one is a drop down menu. I also have two links on the page. I want to make it so that when someone clicks on link 1 the radio button form will be visible, and if they click on link 2, the radio button form will be hidden and the drop down menu will be visible. It is probably very easy but I am new to this stuff and I could use your help. Thanks!

Re: Hide/Show html forms using javascript

Have a look at this one as well: it might be more relevant to your question:

Look into CSS particularly the visibility: hidden/visible attribute. I have an example on my hard drive which I post here as I haven't answered this question here before... much!!:

Hello still_learning,
I have tried and tested this works:

docuemnt.getElementbyId("<tableid>").style.visibility:"visible" or "hidden" works fine as per your need.
