I want to display id=text when the button is clicked. So I tried this:

    <form name=i_choose_form action= method=post>

      <input type=submit class=button value=I am not sure, show me other choices... onclick = showText()></br>

    </form>



    <span id =text style=display:none>First make your choice then you can see all other choices</span>



    <script type = text/javascript>



function showText() { document.getElementById(text).style.display=inline; }



</script>

But this does not work as expected and text is not displayed. What am I doing wrong? http://jsfiddle.net/dPhUQ/
