Changing Text

[zzfive03]

Hello,

I have a pulldown menu with several DB loaded values. When the user selects an option, I want that options value to appear somewhere else on the page as regular text. I know how to pass the desired value to a VBScript funciton, but how do i make it display on the page?

Do i put it in a <div>? If so, is there a text or content field?

Anyone who can help, i will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, MH

depending on the length of the content that is going to be shown the first thing I would try and the simple way is to simply have a form field palced in the page and populate it on the selection.
make the form field appear as though it was not with style like this
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;txtFrmDBSelect&quot; style=&quot;border:none;background-color:#FFFFFF&quot;>

then jsut do a little conditioning in the select with a onSelect or other event and on that selection and fill the form value.

A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

zzfive03,
I know this is a vbscript forum but here's a version of javascript that should work.

<form name=&quot;thisform&quot;>
<select name=&quot;srt&quot; onchange=&quot;dothis()&quot;>
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
<option value='3'>3</option>
</select>

<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;results&quot;>

</body>

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function dothis() {
var val = document.thisform.srt.options[document.thisform.srt.selectedIndex].value
document.thisform.results.value = val
}
</script>
