Apart from that, this is called "interactive" and would require to export the document to a specific format. If you wanted to export to SWF, you could make a text frame with the text you want to hide (not delete), then assign an animation and run that animation when pressing the button. Features are limited here. ID is more of a layout tool.

You can also make a button that clears (all) user input from a form field.
Aside from that, your question is too vague to answer definitively.
