Javascript - enable/disable text box

[kabatak]

Hi, How do you make a function that will enable a text box when a user clicks "others" in the drop down menu.. http://kabatak.ultradesigns.net/help.htm

<script language="javascript">
function dis_able()
{
if(document.myform.D1.value != 'Others')
document.myform.otherz.disabled=1;

else
document.myform.otherz.disabled=0;
}
</script>

<form name="myform">

Category: <select size="1" name="D1" onChange="dis_able()">
<option>Category A</option>
<option>Category B</option>
<option>Catagory C</option>
<option value="Others">Others</option>
</select><br>
Others pls specify: <input disabled type="text" name="otherz" size="20" value="pls specify"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>

You have to give a name to your form, and give your options value's. I gave your Other option the value of other so it'll work :)
