Here is a code for a single button that shows/hides the rules in my sign up page, I have this button right before the submit button in the page..my problem is every time I click it, all the information that the user has typed in into the fields gets lost. What alternatives can I use to solve this problem, does anyone has any idea of what I should change or add into this? I'm thinking of ajax but I totally don't know how to apply/use it in any sense. Thank you very much and any help will be much appreciated.

PHP Code:

<input type="submit" name="<?php if (isset($_POST['view'])){echo"hide";}
                                else
                                echo"view";?>" 
                    value="<?php if (isset($_POST['view'])){echo"hide";}
                                else
                                echo"view rules";?>" >

__________________________________________________ ______________________
Edit: Application of the button above.

PHP Code:

if (isset($_POST['view'])){
            echo"<the rules>";
            }
            else            
                    ?>

Use type="button" and onclick="document.getElementById('rules').style.di splay="none" to hid the rules.

type="submit" sends the form to the server.
