How to transfer data from combo box to text box

[peppe71]

I have a page with one form and i need to transfer data from a combo box to a text box in the same pages.
The combo box receives data from a database.

Hi

Your combobox is called "combo" and text field is called "txtfield" in a page with one form in it. All "options" in the combo boax have a value set (from your recordset). Make sure your select code is like this:

<select name=&quot;combo&quot; onChange=&quot;settext(this.value)&quot;>

Then in the head section of the HTML code add this as a javascript function:

function settext(newval) { //v3.0
  document.forms[0].txtfield.value=newval;}
}

Sorted. You could try:

<select name=&quot;combo&quot; onChange=&quot;javascript:document.forms[0].txtfield.value=this.value;&quot;>

But it has never worked for me so I always stick to the two stage approach. This also gives me the opportunity to change as many fields as I like with one function call. Derren

Here's how I did it. This is the line for the combo box:

<TD WIDTH=&quot;188&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;25&quot;><SELECT SIZE=&quot;1&quot; NAME=&quot;drpCust&quot; ONCHANGE=&quot;CustInfo()&quot;>

Here's the JavaScript function to fill the text box when a selection is made:

function CustInfo() {
document.frmIHeader.txtCustName.value = &quot;&quot;;
gcustno = document.frmIHeader.drpCust.value ;
document.frmIHeader.txtCustName.value = gcustno ;
}

your solution will not work with netscape4. change
document.frmIHeader.drpCust.value to
document.frmIHeader.drpCust.options[document.frmIHeader.drpCust.selectedIndex].value and that would fix it.
