Mike,
This will change a Select drop box to a text input
based on the user selecting "other" from the drop down.
This is so the user can "type" in a value if it is not in the select.
Maybe this can give you some clues.
Dave
watch the wrap.
Here is the function:
function changeInputType(x,y){
var d=document, C=(d.createElement)?d.createElement:0;
var y;
if(C){
if(d.all) d=C('<input name='+x.name+ ' id=Fields_90_Yellow'+ '>');
else{ d=C('input'); d.type='text'; d.name=x.name}
d.value=x.options[x.options.selectedIndex].text;
x.replaceNode(d)}}
Here is the Select.
<select name="Color"
onChange="if (this.value == 'OTHER')changeInputType(this);">
<option value="RED">RED</option>
<option value="GREEN">GREEN</option>
<option value="BLUE">BLUE</option>
<option value="----">----</option>
<option value="OTHER">OTHER</option>
</select>
