have a look at jQuery, which is perfect for this sort of thing. You’ll
need to know a little bit of javascript (syntax mainly) but that’s
pretty much essential for web dev.

You could set up the html as follows (this is inside a form):

<%# checked by default %>
<%= radio_button_tag “field”, 1, true, {:id => “button1”} %>
<%= text_field_tag :field1, “”, {:id => “field1”} %>

<%= radio_button_tag “field”, 2, false, {:id => “button2”} %>
<%# disabled by default %>
<%= text_field_tag :field1, “”, {:id => “field2”, :disabled => true} %>

then, at the top of the page, you could have the following script
(obviously it will only work once you’ve installed jQuery)

this is all untested!

jQuery is fantastic and has loads of really useful plugins - it’s really
essential.

good luck.

Oops., i forgot one important thing! The jQuery commands need to go
inside a ‘document ready’ block, which is run as soon as the page has
loaded. So, the script element should be:

oops again! and, of course, the script start tag should be

not just "". This must be a friday...i never could get the hang of fridays.

Would you mind opening the page source and copying the section with the
fields and radio buttons, and posting it up here?
