Help figuring out how to code

[astima]

I am new at this so for practice I am trying to design a page that would provide information and on the bottom of the page there would be a link that says "click here to sign up". Instead of directing you to a new page when you click the link, I want to stay on the same page, and have a form to fill out your e-mail address appear in the space where it had said. "Click here to sign up". Would I use JavaScript to create this? How do I go about achieving this? Is there a name to what I am trying to do? Thanks!

Yer javascript would help you on your way with this. You could simply have the form their all along and show it when they click the link.

Your other option would be to pull the form in from the server using Ajax. Probably to much if your just starting out.

Have a go yourself and post your code so we can help you along with it.
