Hi, i am trying to make a form that when a button is clicked, a hidden div is displayed with radio buttons. i have managed to do this, however, the pagerefreshes and after a few seconds the page resets back to normal. can anyone explain what i'm doing wrong. My code is;

<script language="javascript" type="application/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
		<script>
			$(document).ready(function(){
				 $("input[name$='group_name']").click(function(){
				 	var submit_value = $(this).val();
				  if(submit_value=='show') {
				    $("#yes_box").show("slow");
				     $("#no_box").hide();
				  }
				  else if(submit_value=='No_show') {
				  	$("#no_box").show("slow");
				    $("#yes_box").hide("slow");
				  }
				 });
				 
				 $("#yes_box").hide();
				 $("#no_box").hide();
				 
				});
			</script>

The HTML is;

<form action="" method="post" name="form1">
				<fieldset>
					<input type="submit" name="group_name" value="show" id="group_name_0" />
					<br />
					<div id="yes_box">
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 1
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 2
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 3
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 4
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 5
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 6
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 7
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 8
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 9
						<input type="radio" name="job_role" value="1" />Job Role 10
					</div>
			    <input type="radio" name="group_name" value="No_show" id="group_name_1" />
			  </fieldset>
			</form>

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

just wondering why the pages refreshes, is there a meta refresh tag in the head? Could possibly be that the button type is submit, which is causing the page to refresh. could try and recode it to use <button id="groupname" value="show">
