Hi,

You seem to be using jQuery and I don't have the faintest idea of how that 
works.

If I had to solve your problem, I would probably write a class (function) to 
handle it.

Not sure that it would work, since I am also a newcomer to Web development, 
but it's likely that this is the way:

function widgetPair(selWidget, textWidget)
{
    this.sel = selWidget;
    this.txt = textWidget;
    this.sel.style.display = "block";
    this.txt.style.display = "none";
    this.sel.addEventListener("change", this.showHideText, false);
}

widgetPair.prototype.showHideText = function () {
        if (this.sel.value = "SHOW")
        {
            this.txt.style.display = "block";
        }
        else {
            this.txt.style.display = "none";
        }
    };

Then, if you have several pairs like this, you can write:

p1 = new widgetPair(forms[0].getElementByName("select1"),
                                 forms[0].getElementByName("text12"));
p2 = new widgetPair(forms[0].getElementByName("select5"),
                                 forms[1].getElementByName("textNoNumber"));

and that would be all... perhaps.
