Question

I want to output a textarea based on a checkbox. I would like it to fadeIn or Slidedown, beneath the checkbox.

I have a checkbox controlling a input field with JS, like so:

function enable_text(status) {
    status = (status) ? false : true; //convert status boolean to text 'disabled'
    document.password.myFormName.disabled = status;
    }

Can this be done with jQuery for both input and textareas if checked? Which areas of jQuery API should I research?

Many thanks

You could do it with the slideToggle()
