We've got a project that has the following behavior.  When a particular
form item is answered a certain way, another form item should "turn on"
on the page.  A common example is choosing "Other" in a radio group
turns on a text box for inputting what "Other" is.

Right now, we've got ActionScript turning the visibility of the form
items on and off depending on answers to previous questions.  The
problem is that the form items still take up physical space.  The
behavior we'd like would have the form item not only be invisible but
also not take up space.  Then, when the required answer is given, the
form item would appear and push the content after it down.

I know it's a weird question, so here's a visual example:

Initial form state:

Choose your favorite fruit:
() Apples
() Oranges
() Lemons
() Other

Choose your favorite car:
() Chevy
() Ford
() Toyota



If Other is chosen:

Choose your favorite fruit:
() Apples
() Oranges
() Lemons
(*) Other
Please describe "other":
-------------------------
|                               |
-------------------------

Choose your favorite car:
() Chevy
() Ford
() Toyota
