How to make a text box enabled when radio button is selected - please help

[tadisaus2]

Hello,

I am a newbie with Javascript. I have this question. I have created a form with 3 radio buttons, (male, female, other), whenever a user click on other, I like to have the text box enabled (it is disbled by default, greyed out).

<input type="radio" name="gender" id="m" value="male" />Male
<input type="radio" name="gender" id="f" value="female" />female
<input type="radio" name="gender" id="other" value="Other" />Other
<input type="text" size="20" maxlength="50" name="Othertxt" disabled="disabled" id="other" />

Is there any way to do it in JS???

Big thanks.

Jenny.

<input type="radio" name="gender" id="m" value="male" onclick="document.getElementById('otherinput').disabled=true;">Male
<input type="radio" name="gender" id="f" value="female" onclick="document.getElementById('otherinput').disabled=true;">female
<input type="radio" name="gender" id="other" value="Other" onclick="document.getElementById('otherinput').disabled=false;">Other
<input type="text" size="20" maxlength="50" name="Othertxt" id="otherinput" disabled="disabled">
 

two id's can't be the same on the same page so i changed it
