I have tried several different ways, but didn’t succeed. I have a radio  
button which is written in onfocus javascript. If click on it, there  
should another radio button should show up. This is what html source  
code looks like:

_**&nbsp;Yes  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No**_

The attached picture is what it looks like after one of the button is  
chosen. Could someone help?

Thanks

Well, this belongs with the rails questions than a ruby one, but i’ll  
try my best. You could either do an AJAX call to update the page, or  
just use css to hide the radio button and then onclick use css to show  
it. Look at a few different javascrip libraries, MooTools is a good one  
and so is jQuery. Here is a link I found with a google search.
