Thank you for posting the script, I think my
question wasn't clear. I tried modifing the posted script but I'm
missing something.
What I would like to do is have the drop down
selection keeps it defined variable that is passed on
to database. Depending on which value from the drop
down box is selected, it will populate 2 different
text boxes with 2 different values.
Thanks for any help!
Here is the script:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var firstArray = new Array("('Select region','',true,true)",
//
Each field below will have 2 different time values
that will be added to the 2 text boxes.
//
"('this value selected and sent to script on submit'
value_1_for_text_box_1=5:00;
value_2_for_text_box_2=12:00;)",
"('Highway 1' value_1_for_text_box_1=11:00;
value_2_for_text_box_2=1:00;)",
"('Highway 2' value_1_for_text_box_1=7:00;
value_2_for_text_box_2=4:00;)",
"('highway 3' value_1_for_text_box_1=8:00;
value_2_for_text_box_2=22:00;)",
"('etc. for about 6 more locations')");
var secondArray = new Array("('Select region','',true,true)",
"('highway 4' value_1_for_text_box_1=3:00;
value_2_for_text_box_2=6:00;)",
"('highway 5'value_1_for_text_box_1=5:00;
value_2_for_text_box_2=17:00;)",
"('etc. for about 6 more locations')");
function populateLocation(inForm,selected) {
var selectedArray = eval(selected + "Array");
for (var i=0; i < selectedArray.length; i++) {
eval("inForm.location.options[i]=" + "new Option" +
selectedArray[i]);
}
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addTimes(a,b,c) {
if (a.value != '') {
/* Validate input here to check time entered is
of correct hh:mm format and within required
range
Handle error if is isn't
*/
}
var t0 = a.value.split(':');
var t1 = b.value.split(':');
var t2 = c.value.split(':');
var m1 = +t0[1] + +t1[1];
var h1 = +t0[0] + +t1[0] + Math.floor(m1/60);
m1 = (m1 % 60);
b.value = h1 + ':' + m1;
var m2 = +t0[1] + +t2[1];
var h2 = +t0[0] + +t2[0] + Math.floor(m2/60);
m2 = (m2 % 60);
c.value = h2 + ':' + m2;
}
</script>

Something like:
<form name="populatefrm" id="contactfrm" method="post"
action="results.asp">
<form ...>
<select name="region" onchange
="this.form['text_box_'+(this.selectedIndex+1)].value
=this[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="5.00" >Choice 1</option>
<option value="11.00">Choice 2</option>
<input type="text" name="text_box_1"size="5"><BR>
<input type="text" name="text_box_2" size="5">
</select>
</form>
