[shayward2003]

what do you want the input field to be shown up as...

do you want <input type="hidden".... changed to something like <input type="text".... ?

 

Or do you want a non-visible <input type="text".... to become visable?

Hey, Thanx for responding.

 

I want a non visible to be visible. I actually have this: <input type="hidden">

 

Is it posibble to make it visible with a button click? Or is there any other way to do something similar?

 

Thanx a lot!

someone told me to do this:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

function showHidden(id)

{

alert(

document.getElementById(id).value

);

//Sorry, yahoo was cutting it off

}

</script>

 

onclick call this function and send it the id of the hidden input. for example if you had

<input type="hidden" id="h" value="show me" />

 

then your call should look like this

<input type="button" value="click me" onclick="showHidden('id')" />

 

but it does not work... help

Look into getAttribute & setAttribute.

 

something like:

if(document.getElementById(id).getAttribute('type') == 'hidden') {
   document.getElementById(id).setAttribute('type', 'text');
}
