simple question

[AlBen]

Hello

sorry I don't know about javascript but I have to finish my work and
there I have some scripts

on my page I have a textarea form and a select form
when a user click in the select form I need the text of the selection
apears in my textare form
that's all

Could you give me the shortest way to do that?
Thank you to all of you.
<textarea rows="4" name="S1" cols="48"></textarea>

<select size="6" name="D1" id="fname" onchange="???">
<option>DELET E</option>
<option>INSER T</option>
<option>UPDAT E</option>
</select>

The person who should (and likely will) be sorry is the one who
assigned JavaScript-related work to someone who doesn't know about
JavaScript.

Apparently you don't know about HTML either. Those are input
elements, not forms.

when a user click in the select form I need the text of the selection
apears in my textare form

<textarea rows="4" name="S1" cols="48"></textarea>

<select size="6" name="D1" id="fname" onchange="???">
<option>DELET E</option>
<option>INSER T</option>
<option>UPDAT E</option>
</select>

this.form.eleme nts.S1.value = this.options[this.selectedIn dex].text;

A(n HTML) form *consists of* form _controls_ (not forms), which e.g.
`textarea' and `select' elements are.

that's all

The change event would be more appropriate (and accessible.)

Individual options should preferably be approached by "selectedIn dex"
rather than "value".

This instruction doesn't make the text of the selected option appear
in the textarea. It just keeps the current value of the textarea, and
adds the text of the selected option at the end of it.

The trailing space is only appended here because this looks like an SQL
statement builder. Evaluating the text cursor position to make this a
statement editor is left as an exercise to the reader.
