<%= form_for(@product) do |f| %>
  <%= f.label :pay_with_card? %>
  <%= f.check_box :pay_with_card,{}, "Yes", "No"%>
  <div>
    <%= f.label :card_number %> <%= f.text_field :card_number %>
  </div>  
  <div>
    <%= f.label :mail %> <%= f.text_field :mail %>
  </div>
<% end %>

Solution

  • Make the card number/mail details div style="display:none;", then add some javascript to the checkbox to change it to display:block;

    Something like this:

    <%= form_for(@product) do |f| %>
      <%= f.label :pay_with_card? %>
      <%= f.check_box :pay_with_card,{}, "Yes", "No"%>
      <div id="card_details" style="display:none;">
        <%= f.label :card_number %> <%= f.text_field :card_number %>
        <%= f.label :mail %> <%= f.text_field :mail %>
      </div>
    <% end %>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      var checkbox = document.getElementById('product_pay_with_card');
      var details_div = document.getElementById('card_details');
      checkbox.onchange = function() {
         if(this.checked) {
           details_div.style['display'] = 'block';
         } else {
           details_div.style['display'] = 'none';
         }
      };
    </script>
