passina value from a drop down list

[stan8450]

I would like to pass a value from a drop down list to a text box after a cmd button is pressed.

Here is what I have so far:

function Calculate()
{
if(document.orderform.Inspection_Type.selectedIndex == 3)
{
document.orderform.Approximate_Fee.value=="295";
}


thanks

You were close. Do this instead:

function Calculate(){
if(document.orderform.Inspection_Type.options[document.orderform.Inspection_Type.selectedIndex] == 3){
document.orderform.Approximate_Fee.value="295";
}
}

BTW.
It might be easier to do this:
<select onChange=&quot;Calculate(this)&quot;>
<option value=&quot;none&quot;>--Select an option--</option>
<option value=&quot;295&quot;>This is an option!</option>
.....

function Calculate(that)
{
if(that.options[that.selectedIndex].value!=&quot;none&quot{
document.orderform.Approximate_Fee.value=
that.options[that.selectedIndex].value;
}
}

This way you won't have to type out the long string for each option. if(($question==&quot;has been bugging me&quot;
