Hi,

I have a dropdown menu which when an account is selected I would like to have a textbox automatically populate with the account number.

Here is what I have started ...

<script language="javascript">
function MoveacctNumber()
{
var myVar = document.form1.acctNumber.value;
document.form1.txtID.value = myVar;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1">
<select name="acctNumber" id="select" OnChange="MoveacctNumber()">
<%
While (NOT rstest.EOF)
%>
<option value="<%=(rstest.Fields.Item("acctName").Value)%>" <%If (Not isNull((rstest.Fields.Item("acctName").Value))) Then If (CStr(rstest.Fields.Item("acctName").Value) = CStr((rstest.Fields.Item("acctName").Value))) Then Response.Write("SELECTED") : Response.Write("")%> ><%=(rstest.Fields.Item("acctName").Value)%></option>
<%
rstest.MoveNext()
Wend
If (rstest.CursorType > 0) Then
rstest.MoveFirst
Else
rstest.Requery
End If
%>
</select>
<br>
<input type="text" name="txtID">
</form>

My problem is that I keep populating the textbox with the accountName instead of the corresponding acctNumber.

thanks for any help,

Jay

Please post the resulting HTML rather than the server side ASP, as not eveybody is familiar with asp but also so we may see what JS sees.

As a guess its because you are populating the <option> values with acctName in your ASP code. So you get a name rather than a number.

Code: 
<option value="<%=(rstest.Fields.Item("[red]acctName[/red]").Value)%>"
