As per conversations already on this site such as What's the best placement for an "Other" box I am guessing the answer to this might just be a quick 'Yes' but I figured I would ask!
I have a form which contains several select boxes that allow an option of other, I know normally the way to approach this would be one of the methods mentioned in the linked article, but we really want people to complete the form and I worry that making boxes appear based on user selection will scare off people as they might think the end of the form is now an unknown.
My solution was to give the 'other' option the text 'Other (please specify in comments)', is this a bad idea?
