Javascript question

[Newsgroup_User]

I have been searching for the last 2 day for a javascript function that
someone told me about. I am trying to populate a select field, set to list,
with uploaded values. What I need to do is when the user clicks on the item
in the list, the value is inserted into a textarea. This is where the
javascript comes in, I guess.

Does anyone know what that would be called so I can look for it on
Blingo/Google?

Thanks

for your select, add an attibute like this:

onclick="otherfield.value=this.value;"

The syntax might not be correct but the general idea is.

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function fillText() {
var Current =
document.myForm.mySelect.selectedIndex;
document.myForm.myText.value =
document.myForm.mySelect.options[Current].value;
}
//-->
</script>

<form id="myForm" name="myForm">
<select id="mySelect" name="mySelect" onchange="fillText()">
<option value="">--none--</option>
<option value="2.50">alpha</option>
<option value="1.95">beta</option>
<option value="3.00">gamma</option>
</select>
<input id="myText" name="myText" type="text">
</form>

The script works great in autofilling the text area with the value of the
drop down.
What I need to do is to be able to insert items from the list into a text
area with a double click.
How can I modify that to target my textarea ('html') and only add the item
to the textarea?

Thanks!
