clickable object inside a text box

[hasanatkazmi]

I have a textbox, user writes in something including + and - signs, when he clicks on - all text next to that part ontracts/collapses .......  i.e. I am supposed to make user input as active object. But how to ? any ideas please

Sounds like Ajax to me.

The disapearing act:

<script>
function hide(id) {
   obj = document.getElementById(id);
   obj.style.display = "none";
}
</script>
<a onclick="javascript:hide('content')">-</a>
<div id="content"><input type="text"></div>

 

If you actually want do do somethign with the text that the user inputs, eg. send to a php to get a result, then it is ajax.

But I think I missed your point completeley.
