How can I dynamically populate data when selecting an option from a dropdown list?

I have a JSP page and it contains a dropdown list called Office.

What I try to do is:

When I select different office from this list, the information of office
(address, phone,etc) will be populated in same JSP page.

I have a java bean called officeBean that contains all the office
information.

My question is how to use JavaScript to implement this function.

Any sample code is welcome.
