Hide or disable form options?




Possible Duplicate:
Don't hide or disable menu items?



On a create/edit form, where the options available to the end user will depend on their previous input, in order to give the user some guides on how to fill the data, we shall:




  • Disable the controls and enable them only when the pre-requisites are meet.

  • Hide them instead

  • Do nothing

  • Other options


Example: when asking who is the legal representative of someone, the form will contain a combobox with the following options: the own person, their parents or someone else. Only in the case the user chooses someone else, he was to fill a textbox telling who.


Which option will provide the best user experience?
