I build something like that for a marketing landing page once. View the source and look for the div with id="REGISTRATION" and make make the onclick attribute in your radio button run the expandcontent function accordingly.Example:http://www.lessonlab.com/sfinstitute/(click "register")Javascript Source Code:http://www.lessonlab.com/sfinstitute/includes/toggle.jsI figured it would be easier to give you that then to copy-n-paste the code in here.(thats one way to do it)

I'd make all that an external file. Then on the page you want to do this on, it would go something liek this:

<input type="radio" name="xxxxxx" value="aaaaaa" onchange="expandcontent('REGISTRATION');" /> aaaaaa<br /><input type="radio" name="xxxxxx" value="bbbbbb" onchange="expandcontent('REGISTRATION');" /> bbbbbb<br /><div id="REGISTRATION" style="display:none;">I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.<br /></div>

works like a charm, here is it live:http://www.iribbit.net/_files/radio-showhide.htmYou can add more div's and change id's and have fun with it.
