This is code allows for what is selected in Drop-Down boxes to appear in a text box next to it, if they select a second thing, it will also appear in that text box, it works in Firefox, but not Internet Explorer.

<script>
function addOption(x,x2) {
sOption=document.getElementById(x2).value;
sOptions=sOption.split("\n");
if (sOption == '') {document.getElementById(x2).value=x+"\n";}
else { if (sOptions.length > 1) {document.getElementById(x2).value=sOption+x+"\n";}
else {document.getElementById(x2).value=sOption+"\n"+x+"\n";}
}
document.getElementById(x2).focus();
}
</script>

I tried this little test in IE6 and it works:

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script>
function addOption(x,x2) {
sOption=document.getElementById(x2).value;
sOptions=sOption.split("\n");
if (sOption == '') {document.getElementById(x2).value=x+"\n";}
else { if (sOptions.length > 1) {document.getElementById(x2).value=sOption+x+"\n";}
else {document.getElementById(x2).value=sOption+"\n"+x+"\n";}
}
document.getElementById(x2).focus();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea id='myText' cols='75' rows='25'>
</textarea>
<select onchange="addOption(this.value, 'myText')">
<option value='_'>Choose...</option>
<option value='My dog has fleas'>dog</option>
<option value='My dog has flease'>sheep</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>

I hope there's something useful in this for you.

Nothing! I copied and pasted your function as is. Did you try my sample code in IE? What version of IE are you using?

6.0, but thats also a proble with AOL, seeing as they use IE.


The code does not work when in real practice, apparently.
