Simple html/css question

[Simon]

Hi everyone,

i have a quick question. Bear in mind that I am not an html wizz and i
don't know an awful lot about css, although I know a little.

I need to achieve the following and I'm wondering what the easiest way
to do it is:

I need to put a footnote at the bottom of a web page. However, I only
want to have the text of the footnote display if a value inserted into
a textbox is outside a specified range. I've already written some
javascript that runs when the values are outside the specified range.

All I need now is advice on how to make a little bit of text appear
and disapear at will.

Can anyone advise me on how to get this particular effect?

Thanks to anyone who can

Kind Regards

Simon Harvey

That includes me, so 'hi'

I don't know anything about javascript, so i'll just answer
the next bit:

Making text appear and disappear, can be done by using
{display:none;} vs {display:block;}. The text is always
there, just invisible.
I use it on links, making text appear on a pre-defined place
in the document, when hovering over a link, but i don't know
how to combine it with input in a textbox.

You could not do that until the information in the text box is acted upon.
Then your javascript would have to read the information, decide if it's
kosher and process it.
But don't take my word as absolute.
You may find a textbox script at places like www.dynamicdrive.com and other
script sources.

Making text appear and disappear, can be done by using
{display:none;} vs {display:block;}. The text is always
there, just invisible.

And in JavaScript this is done like so:

<p id="myText">This paragraph can appear and disappear, but only if you
have Javascript enabled in your browser (about 13% of people don't).</p>
<ul>
<li onclick="document.getElementById('myText').style.display='none';">hide</li>
<li onclick="document.getElementById('myText').style.display='block';">show</li>
</ul>

Nobody should ever take your word as absolute, Bullis.

Hi scum,

If you want to talk to Bullis do it directly please. Thanks.

Use a killfile or shut up yourself. Thanks so much in advance.

I think even the 10 years old have figured out by now that the bulk of
the threads featuring the topic consist of merely one persona, that's
including the pros and cons. Anyway, congratulations--by the time of
writing I've seen smarter people than me replying.

Use a killfile

For major trolls that's inconvenient and somewhat cumbersome. And
technically subject to limitations. But filtering on disobeyed
followups looks good enough for me. Thanks for the input.

No problem!


Let me set a few follow-ups for you.
