textarea to appear/disappear

[Ike]

How can I make a textarea appear or disappear at the click of a button or
link?

Thanks, Ike

[Jon]

I have a link in a cell, for the cell I have:

<td onMouseOver="document.all.**CELLNAME**.innerHTML=' **YOURTEXT**';"
width="??" align="??">

This changes the cell's content depending on the link hovered over

I'm outdated regarding to DHTML issues.
However you can change the textarea's style and set its 'visibility' to
'hidden'
Given that you had an id for your text area.

Try:
---
<form action="...something...">
....
<textarea name="foo">some text</textarea>
....
<input type="button" value="show/hide"
onclick="var elemStyle = this.form.elements['foo'].style;
elemStyle.visibility =
(elemStyle.visibility != '' ? '' : 'hidden');">
....
</form>
---

function hideElement( id )
{
var gebID = document.getElementById || document.all || NULL;
if( gebID )
gebID( id ).style.display = 'none';
}
function showElement( id )
{
var gebID = document.getElementById || document.all || NULL;
if( gebID )
gebID( id ).style.display = '';
}

....

<textarea id="foobar"></textarea>
<button onclick="showElement( 'foobar' );">Show Textarea</button>
<button onclick="hideElement( 'foobar' );">Hide Textarea</button>

..style.display = 'none'; makes the text area act exactly like a <input
type="hidden" />
