how do i make a Form field visable depending on the value of another?

Question

I am making a form for my web site where folks can add a track listing. I dont want to have a long list of fields. I only need one to be visible and when it is filled out another one appears below it and so.

If you don't want to use server-side scripting, try client-side scripting with dhtml. The following two links should help:

(chained selects so that additional options do not appear in droplists. The droplist titles and windows themselves are shown, though).

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex16/formdependency.htm
(this may be more useful. Form fields like radio buttons and checkboxes are kept hidden till the user makes a selection).

Hope this helps.
