I'm not great with js myself, but happy to give you my thoughts for whatever they're worth.
Which javascript library are you using (prototype/jQuery)? I find a lot of people, including myself, don't always rely on the helper instead preferring to work with their chosen js library direct. I've recently switched to jQuery and have a form with a group of radio buttons and use the following to watch for a particular value being selected to then display a group of extra fields or hide if that option is unselected. Form Field: echo $form->input('CampaignSignature.postal_address_id', array( 'type'=>'radio', 'onclick'=>'sectionToggle(this, \'#new-address\')', )); Self written function echoed out at bottom of same view: <script> // <![CDATA[ function sectionToggle(field, section) { if ($(field).val() == 'new') { $(section).show(); } else { $(section).hide(); } } // ]]> </script> Hope this helps, all you'd have to change for prototype is the $ (field).val() == 'new' line of the function to $(field).getValue() == 'new'.
