  I am new to sharepoint, during development process I am stuck at adding text field when click type="other* , i have three radio buttons with choise a, b and other.. when someone select "other" i want a text field  so user can input a text value manually.

  If you know some code to achieve it that would be great , also please mention wher to copy and paste that code.

  Thanks for the help.

  Hi,

  You can achieve this functionality ootb (out of the box). Create a new field (column) of type "Choice (menu to choose from)" with the following settings:

  1) Type each choice on a separate line </label>: "a", "b" [write all possible options (say a,b) in the given textarea in a separate line]
  2) Display choices using : "Radio Buttons" (select 'Radio Buttons' option)
  3) Allow 'Fill-in' choices: "Yes" (select 'Yes' option)

  Once this field (column) is properly configured as described above, the user will 3 radio buttons in new/edit forms as follows:

  1) a (radio button)
  2) b (radio button)
  3) Specify your own value (radio button + text box)

  Hope this helps.

  Regards,
