[SOLVED] PHP Form help

[kyleldi]

So I've got this form that has a drop down menu, pulling data from the db.  What I want to do is create a static value, "Other" and use PHP to display a new field underneath the drop-down for the user to enter in the value for "other" if it is selected.  Is this possible, and if so how would I go about it?  Thank You!

 

<label><select name="material" id="material">
          <option value="No Material Chosen">- Material Types -</option>
<?php
do {  
?>
          <option value="<?php echo $row_rs_materials['material']?>"><?php echo $row_rs_materials['label']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_rs_materials = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_materials));
  $rows = mysql_num_rows($rs_materials);
  if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rs_materials, 0);
  $row_rs_materials = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_materials);
  }
?>
	<option value="Per Print">Per Print</option>
      </select></label>

i think you can use javascript for this. 

have an extra form field below the dropdown and make it hidden by default. 

in the dropdown, when Other is selected, have it execute a javascript function that will make the extra form field show up`

Yep, that's how I did mine.
