display text box once link has been clicked

[twobyfour]

I dont know anything about javascript or ajax, so i need some help please.

I need a textbox to show once a link or button as been clicked. If the user decides not to use this textbox, i need it to disappear.

I also will be using this on a php page.

thank you in advance.

cancel that i changed my mind.

I need a textbox that autofilles from a mysql database. So when a user changes the info in the box, the database will reflect the changes once submitted. I know there is php coding for that but i got that handled, just need the autofill textbox.

Do you know how to fetch the data from DB?

To show something in textbox, all that you need is to set the value attribute, like

PHP Code:

<?php
$foo="bar";
?>
<input type="text" name="date" value="<?php echo $foo;?>">
