hide unhide form

[proctk]

Below is code that I'm trying to edit so that when the link is clicked the form is shown and when the link is clicked a second time the form will be hidden

any idea how I can do this

[code=php:0]
  <p style="font-size:10px"><a href="index.php?pw_id=pw">Get new Password</a></p>

    <?PHP
// displays the lost password form
$pw_id = $_REQUEST['pw_id'];


if ($pw_id == 'pw'){ ?>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="codeLostPassword.php">

  Email Address:
  <input type="text" name="email_address" id="email_address" />
  <input name="recover" id="recover" type="hidden" value="recover" />
 
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" id="Submit" />
  </form>
<?php }else{
  }
  ?>
[/code]

You'll have to do that with javascript, not with php.

I'm not exactly a javascript wizard, but it's something among these lines:

first place your form in a div tag and assign an id to it. Set it's status to hidden. then set the properties for the buttom to: onclick="javascript: this.document.form1...'" you gotta look that part up somewhere :p

you're looking to do javascript. with php, you'll have to send a request to the server for it to parse your variable.

but with js is pretty simple just set an unique id for your form

and add an onclick = "javascript: document.getElementById('yourformid').style.display = 'hidden';"
