Hi, I have a check_box and on activating it, I want an extra field to show up. I thought I''d do this by calling a remote_function called "toggle" in :onchange. In toggle.rjs, I''d do something like page.toggle and have the visibility toggled. I''m not sure whether it works: I haven''t tried it yet. What I did try was setting up a form with a hidden field (by default the check_box isn''t ticked, so the field should be hidden), but the field label is still there. Is there a way to do this so I can toggle both the field and the label? Any other suggestions to do this (without page.toggle maybe?) are very welcome as well. Thank you.

Thank you both, I had specified an id for the label and called page.toggle on it as Frederick suggested, but I suspected a label to be able to do more than that. Apparently not. This will do the trick. Is there a way to toggle an object directly from :onchange, by the way?
