This is an example of how you can dynamically show and hide portions of a form or document by using an actuator like "onChange" or "onClick".

This is useful for forms, or a document were you might want to expand information if a person clicks the "more" link.

The example below uses a form toggle,

Be sure that when you call the function that you enclose the ID of the item in single quotes ''.

I will be posting examples of other practical uses later.

<html>
<head>
<title>toggle_it() Demo</title>
<script language="javascript">
  function toggle_it(itemID){
      // Toggle visibility between none and inline
      if ((document.getElementById(itemID).style.display == 'none'))
      {
        document.getElementById(itemID).style.display = 'inline';
      } else {
        document.getElementById(itemID).style.display = 'none';
      }
  }
</script>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style5 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10; }
.style7 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; }
-->
</style>
<body>
<form name="test" action="" method="post">
<table width="199">
<tr class="style7">
  <td width="50%" align="right" height="23" valign="middle"><a href="#" onClick="toggle_it('pr1')">Toggle Form?</a> :</td>
  <td height="23" valign="middle" > 
    </td>
</tr>
<tr >
  <td colspan="2">
        <!--
            This is the table we will be showing, or hiding. Note it's id.
            If you are producing a series of table rows from a database,
            you can give each row a dynamic id, perhaps the key for the row from the database,
            and use the show hide property for extended information, streamlining your page's presentation,
            but still giving the availability of all the information without additional page loads.
        -->
        <table width="100%" id="pr1" name="police_response1" style="display:none;">
          <tr>
            <td align="right"><span class="style7">Drop Box 1:</span></td>
              <td><span class="style5">
                <SELECT NAME='Numbers' class="style7" ID='Numbers'>
                <option value='00'>00</option>
                <option value='01'>01</option>
                <option value='01'>01</option>
                <option value='01'>01</option>
              </SELECT>
              </span> </td>
              </tr>
            <tr>
                  <td align="right"><span class="style7">Report Number:</span></td>
                  <td><INPUT NAME='Text' TYPE='textbox' class="style7" VALUE='' SIZE='12'></td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
</form>

Please note, I did not test this in IE - it acts very weird in there... I will post a follow up fix. Works great in FireFox on the Mac though :)

My fault for posting prior to testing.
