Dynamic drop down / text fields

[Radon3k]

What I'm looking to do is create a drop down menu that allows you to select the number of text boxes you want to appear. So if you have a drop down menu to select the number of names you want into the database, you can select, say, 5. When you select 5, 5 text fields appear and you can type in their names. How is this done? I've searched Google and what not but I'm not sure what to search for and as a result, I'm not having much luck. Thanks. :)

That's Document Object Model (DOM) manipulation, using Javascript methods such as document.createElement() to create a new element and appendChild() to attach it to an existing one.

Any tips on how I would go about creating something like this? I'm still searching Google for any tutorials or tips or something that would help with this.
