[Javascript] show hide a text when checking a checkbox ?

[Peter Brunone]

    First you'll need an onClick event handler in the checkbox, like this:

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="switchBox"
onClick="showHideText(this,'myText')">

    Next you'll need a DIV that contains the text you want to show/hide,
like this:

<DIV ID="myText">Put text here</DIV>

Then you'll need the JavaScript function to hide the text, like this:

function showHideText(boxName,divName) {
    if(boxName.checked = true) {
        showObject(divName);
        }
    else {
        hideObject(divName);
        }
    }

    Finally you'll need your showObject and hideObject functions.  I like to
use the ones at www.dansteinman.com/dynduo ; they're easy to implement and
they work well for Netscape and Explorer.

Cheers,

Peter Brunone
