    I am using a show/hide JavaScript functionality in an online booking form to show input fields for additional participants on a course (i.e. fields for one participant only at first and then click on Add More Participants to show further fields).

    In the code, I have an empty link tag around the words "Add More Participants" but MODx is set up to go to the home page when a user clicks on an ’error’ or ’unauthorised’ page. So as soon as I click on the link it shows me the new form fields for a brief moment before redirecting to the home page.

    I am clueless about JavaScript and haven’t used this functionality before. Is there any way around this, either from a JS point of view of by using some sort of MODx override to not redirect for this page??? Thanks!

    The code I am using is:

    <script language="javascript">
    <!-- ////Show/Hide Script ///
    
    var state = 'none';
    
    function showhide(layer_ref) {
    
    if (state == 'block')
    {
    state = 'none';
    }
    else
    {
    state = 'block';
    }
    if (document.getElementById &&!document.all)
    {
    hza = document.getElementById(layer_ref);
    hza.style.display = state;
    }
    
    
    }
    
    </script>
    


    The HTML bit to show/hide the form fields is:

       
        <p><a href="#" onclick="showhide('participant2');">Click to add another participant</a></p>
        <div id="participant2" style="display: none;">
    
            <fieldset>
            <legend>PARTICIPANT 2</legend>
    
    		<label for="cfFirstName2">FIRST NAME 2:</label>
    		    <input name="firstname2" id="cfFirstName2" class="text" type="text" size="20" maxlength="100" eform="First Name 2::1:" /><br />
    
                    etc.
    
        </div>

      Try this:

      <a href="#" onclick="showhide('participant2');return false;">
