Sample form

Does anyone have a sample of a form that has hidden text that becomes unhidden/visible once a user presses a button (not a radio button or check box)then hidden again once a user selects another button.
 
I have a list of terms that each have an explanation and would like to set-up a form with the list of terms and when one is selected, for form flows to expose the corresponding text. Then when another item is selected, the current selections corresponding text becomes hidden and the newly selected items corresponding text is visible.

I don't have a sample form to hand, although I'm sure there are several examples available in the tutorials section.

Let's take a look at what you are trying to achieve though:

Using buttons (not radio or check) display certain text in a specific field when a button is clicked.

Each button should simply use scripting to write the required information to the field. So, for example, the con-click event would change the field value to the required text. the only other requirement would be to 'reflow' or 'recalculate' the document so that it adjusts the field to accommodate the text inserted and moves the surrounding fields accordingly.

Hope that helps!
