Drop-down selection menu help

[gurusarentus]

I have a web page that is using drop down menu selections to allow students to make a 4 year academic plan online. My problem is not with the menus themselves, but I would like for another field to reflect the credits alloted by the course they have selected so that I can varify they have selected enough credits. Here is the code from one of the menu choices:

<table>
<tr>
<td width="50%" valign="top">
<p style="margin-left: .10in">English (4 credits)</td>
<td width="50%" valign="top">
<nobr>
<!--#include file="../_fpclass/fpdblib.inc"-->
<%
fp_sQry="SELECT * FROM Courses WHERE (Category = '::Category::') ORDER BY CourseID ASC"
fp_sDefault="Category=English"
fp_sNoRecords="No records returned."
fp_sDataConn="Courses"
fp_iMaxRecords=256
fp_iCommandType=1
fp_iPageSize=0
fp_fTableFormat=False
fp_fMenuFormat=True
fp_sMenuChoice="CourseTitle"
fp_sMenuValue="CourseID"
fp_iDisplayCols=7
fp_fCustomQuery=False
BOTID=0
fp_iRegion=BOTID
%>
<select NAME="English9" SIZE="1">
<!--#include file="../_fpclass/fpdbrgn1.inc"-->
<option VALUE="<%=FP_FieldHTML(fp_rs,"CourseID")%>"><%=FP_ FieldHTML(fp_rs,"CourseTitle")%></option>
<!--#include file="../_fpclass/fpdbrgn2.inc"-->
</select>
</nobr>
</td>
<td width="50%" valign="top">
<input type="text" name="EnglishCredit9" size="2">
</td>
</table>

So you have a select (drop down box) with a course number or some such, and you just want a second input in the same form to say how many credits have been selected on that drop-down? I think this is best handled with javascript:

<select name="course" onChange="this.form.credits.value=this.options[selectedIndex].creditNum">
<option value="Eng2020" creditNum="3">English 2020 (3cr)</option>
<option value="Eng2030" creditNum="5">English 2030 (5cr)</option>
<option value="Eng2040" creditNum="2">English 2040 (2cr)</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="credits" value="3">
 

When the select box changes, the text box value should change correspondingly. I re-read and started answering this question several times, still never convinced I knew what you were asking. Please let me know if this helps.
