Hi there,
I am trying to create a form with an dynamic field that can be shown or hidden.
As I saw for example on google it is possible with JS to show a layer and move
the content underneath that layer further down uppon showing this layer. When a
person closes that layer the content underneath the layer moves up again and
closes the empty space. How is this possible?
I am playing around with some code I am posting with this thread. Could somebody
give me a small push to get closer to my goal?
Thank you in advance,
Merlin
