Hi all

Im doing a website in php and require some javascript. I found my way here looking for examples and am hoping someone can offer suggestions.

I have a page displaying products from a php query. Each product has a description with the option to order.

I have a quantity text field and a size text field, i need the java script to read what value is entered in the quantity field straight away. If someone puts in 2 then i need to display two size boxes (or more) rather then the default one depending on the value entered in the quantity field.

Is this possible??

Thanks

Sure it is.
Look at the onChange event, and the createElement and appendChild methods.
