Dynamic Text

[zzfive03]

Hello;

I would like to dynamicly load a portion of text with the value of a <select> option. If a user selects for instance &quot;Red Cars&quot; in the select, and presses the &quot;Submit&quot; button, I want the button to do an OnClick which will call a function which takes the select.value and assigns it to the text.

I know how to do everything, except the text part. How can I create a segment of text, from which I can add color, size, and change its contents client side?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

do it by setting the innerHTML property of a html element......make your element on the page, something like

<span id=&quot;bidnit&quot;>Initial Content</span>

then this javascript in the select box:

onChange=&quot;document.all[&quot;bidnit&quot;].innerHTML = this.options[this.selectedIndex];&quot;

should work --------------------------------
