Drop down lists

[barrylowe]

I have put a drop down list on my page using the CFSELECT tag. The list is populated from a query.

When an item is selected from the list I want the text to appear in another text box as well as in the list. I can get the selectedindex value to appear using the onchange event, but not the text.

Any help would great!

supposing your HTML looks like this:
<SELECT NAME=&quot;name&quot;>
<OPTION VALUE=&quot;value1&quot;>value1
<OPTION VALUE=&quot;value2&quot;>value2
...
</SELECT>

try putting this object into the text box - document.forms[0].name.options[document.forms[0].name.selectedIndex].value

try this i think this is what you are trying to do..
<form name=&quot;form&quot;>


<select name=&quot;FName&quot; onChange=&quot;this.form.FName2.value=this.value;&quot;>
<option>select 1</option>
<option value=&quot;test&quot;>test </option>
<option value=&quot;test 2&quot;>test2</option>
<option value=&quot;test 3&quot;>test 3 </option>
</select>
<br>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;FName2&quot;>
</form>
