Hidden fields are not meant to be visible. You could use a textbox and set its visiblity to false in css and make visible it on changing the select option.

<input type="text" name="other" id="input_field" style="display:none"/>

    <select name='occupation' id='link_block' value='Source' style='width:196%' onChange="showText(this.selectedIndex);">
    ...............
    ...............
<option value="other">other</option>
    </select>

<script>
  function showtext(ind){
         var selectBox = document.getElementById('link_block');
         if(selectBox.options[ind].value=="other"){
                   document.getElementById('input_field').style.display = "block";
         }else{
                    document.getElementById('input_field').style.display = "none";
         }
  }
</script>

Instead of

<input type="hidden" name="other" id="input_field" />

Make it:

<input id="otherOccupation" class="hide" name="other" id="input_field" />

With hide being a class that sets visibility:hidden;

Then have some jquery to remove that class when the user selects "other"

$("#otherOccupation").removeClass("hide")
