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>

Still a dumb way to do it. Simply give the OPTION a value and be done
with it....... Might even make it easier to get the *value* of the
select element on the server if/when the form is submitted.

IBTD.

Simply give the OPTION a value and be done with it....... Might even make
it easier to get the *value* of the select element on the server if/when
the form is submitted.

The reason I did not propose to use the `value' attribute here is that I am
quite certain that this form will never be submitted; at least the `select'
control would not need to (and so would not need a name, BTW). And then,
provided that the `value' property of the `select' would be as compatible as
it needs to be, the advantage of slightly faster property access with that
property would not outweigh the disadvantage of having to maintain attribute
value *and* element content per each option.

This is really a surprise that a "simple question" can generate a GOOD
discussion.
I'm a developer in win32 env. during the last 12 years and every time
surprised that a javascript can give so much headache for people who
develop with.

For David re-read you first comment and try to understand that I/WE

Its cos its a crap language with the worst features of three or four
thrown together, probably by a computer scientist.
Makes you long for COBOL - a langauge designed so that any Navy Grunt
could more or less with attention to detail, write a program..

You mean the one where I answered your question? If you didn't want
an answer, then perhaps you shouldn't have posted a question.

And if you don't know script and/or HTML, perhaps you shouldn't be
scripting Web pages.

Not true?

Not in a well-managed IT department. Why would you assign a scripting
task to someone who lacks basic knowledge about scripting?
