Put value of a selected item in Listbox in a text field

Eddy Scheire

Hi all,

I've got this listbox and this text field on an ASP page. Now I want the
item I click on in the listbox to appear in the text field and I can't find
the code nowhere for what seems to me such an easy thing to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx in advance,
Eddy

Is this a class assignment?
I answered the same question in another ng last week.

If by "listbox" you mean "selection list" then ...

Will this help? Watch for word-wrap.

<html>
<head>
<title>sel2text.htm</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1">
<b>Part Number : </b>
<select name="Part" id="Part"

onchange="document.getElementById('Desc').value=do cument.getElementById('Par
t').value">
<option value="">
<option value="Product 1">123
<option value="Product 2">456
<option value="Product 3">789
</select>
<br><b>Product Description : </b>
<input type="text" name="Desc" id="Desc">
</body>
</html>

It's a listbox that's built by reading a Database in a loop in a VBScript
and fill it up with every record found

Response.Write "<OPTION VALUE='" & RSItem("Item_Nr") & "'>" & RSItem("Naam")

in my case I create this..

function CheckEtc(str) {
if (document.getElementById(str + 'Check').checked)
{
document.getElementById(str + '1').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(str + '2').style.display = 'inline';
}
else
{
document.getElementById(str + '1').style.display = 'inline';
document.getElementById(str + '2').style.display = 'none';
}
}

<tr>
<td width="121" bgcolor="#E1E1E1">ºÐ·ù</td>
<td colspan="3"><select id="propart1" class="memr"
style="width: 150px;" style="display: none;"><option
value=»ýÈ°±âÈ¹>»ýÈ°±âÈ¹</option><option
value=¾Ç±â±âÃÊ>¾Ç±â±âÃÊ</option><option value=¿µ»ó>¿µ»ó</option><option
value=ÈüÇÕ>ÈüÇÕ</option></select><input id="propart2" name="propart2"
type="text" class="memr" style="display: inline;" style="width: 150px;"
maxlength="50">
<input id="propartCheck" type="checkbox"
name="CheckEct" onClick="CheckEtc('propart');" checked>

Like this?

<select

This works indeed in the HTML part of this ASP-page but not in the VBScript
part :

Response.Write "<H3 ALIGN='center'>Artists Found for Category : </H3>"
Response.Write "<H3 ALIGN='center' Kategorie></H3>"

I get an error on this line :
Response.Write "<SELECT ALIGN='center' name="Band" id="Band"
onchange="document.getElementById('Desc').value=do cument.getElementByID('Ban
d').value">"

Do While Not RS.EOF
Response.Write "<OPTION VALUE='" & RS("Nummer") & "'>" & RS("Naam")
RS.MoveNext
Loop
Response.Write "</SELECT>"

Don't you just /love/ quotes? (line-breaks for clarity, only)

Response.Write "<select " _
& "align='center' " _
& "name='Band' " _
& "id='Band' " _
& "onchange=""document.getElementById( 'Desc' ).value " _
& "= document.getElementByID( 'Band' ).value"" " _

I would expect that you would.

You mixed single and double quotation marks.

Try this:

Response.Write "<SELECT ALIGN='center' name='Band' id='Band'
onchange='document.getElementById('Desc').value=do cument.getElementByID('Ban
d').value'>"
