select value from a combobox and display in a textbox

[creative1]

hi,
I have a simple query. I have a dynamic combobox when I select one value fromt he combobox; on click a function is called that display the value of the combobox(i.e not same as text list of combobox) in textbox on the form.
I want to display the selected entry(not the value) of the combobox in another text box. How I can do that
this is what I already have

function getvalue(form)
       {
         form.clientID.value=form.clientName.value;
         form.ClientName.value=form.clientName.selected; // whatever is there is combobox display it textbox called ClientName.
       }

I am not familiar with VB, but this looks like VB code and therefore should belong in that forum. If I am correct on the code I will move this post for you.

it's javascript. you cam move it there.

you should post the relevant html-code too, so that we may see whether the ids and names are correct. you may even consider to use dom-methods like document.getElementById(); for your node-references ...

kind regards

That's good to hear, but it's always courteous to post how you solved it for the benefit of others.

I used a very simple technique:
I used BEAN to get value of the table client and displayed clientName as text of the combobox and used clientID as the value of the combo.

<select name="clientName" id ="clientName" onChange="getvalue(this.form)">   
    <% java.util.Vector clients = (java.util.Vector)session.getAttribute("clients");
    if(clients != 
               { // start of if1
                          for (int i =0; i<clients.size(); i++)
                          { //start of for1
                            Client client = (Client)clients.get(i
              if(client instanceof Client)
               {// start of if2
                 %>
          <option value=<%= client.getClientID() %>>
                         <%= client.getClientName() %>  </option>
            <%
     }// end of if2
              }// end if for1
           }// end of if1
        %>
 
            </select> 

Again in the function getvalue() I tried something like this

function getvalue(form)
       {
         form.clientID.value=form.clientName.value;
       }

It works fine and good thing is it's easy.
