I want to create a CCK field in my custom content type where the value (a yes/no select list) will or will not display a defined (static) line of HTML once selected. CCK fields allow for custom PHP, has anyone done this?

For example. Lets say I have a field named Disclaimer with 2 values, "yes" or "no".

If "yes" is selected, then a predefined line of text (the HTML disclaimer) is displayed on the page. If "no" is selected, then HTML will not be shown.

Can anyone show me how to do this?

I used the custom_formatters module to make a field formatter that added the value of the field as a class to the select list field element-- then I used that class ("yes" or "no") to target the field with css and display: none;.

Thanks for the suggestion. But as I indicated, I'm looking to do this in PHP, not with another module.

You could fire some jquery based on which option is clicked? Then if yes is clicked, show you message in a hidden div.

I was thinking something more along the line of creating a custom field (single on/off checkbox) that when checked as "yes" will display some html on a node and if "no" will display nothing. I just don't know how to do the PHP portion in my node template.
