Also if you hide and show a text box in a web form chances are that
most part of screen readers will find trouble to read your page what,
I presume, you wouldn't like to see it happening...
What you need to do is use javascript to see what option has been
selected by the user and react accordingly. Place a onChange statement
in your combobox declaration. Make this onChange call a javascript
function, where you will place code to verify what item has been
selected in the combobox. And, if the other option is selected, just
enable a text box control, otherwise disable it.
I won't past the necessary code here, because google will show you
what you need, and this is a great oportunity to learn a little of
javascript. If you however enconter any thing you don't understand ask
to the list again.
