You could set your text field as an hidden field at first. Then handling "onChange" in the select box, with a small javascript you would show the text box when the is "other" and hide it otherwise.on Something like :
$js = 'if(this.value == "other") $(\'inpbox\').show(); else $(\'inpbox \').hide();'; echo $form->input('knowsfrom', array('type' => 'select', 'options' => $options, 'onchange' => $js)); echo $form->input('otherfrom', array('type' => 'text', 'id' => 'inpbox')); I did write this code just straight here, so you might get some syntax errors, but that should give you a hint. hth On Dec 13, 7:32 am, rocky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey, > > I'm trying to use cakePHP to do a client's sign up form.
