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

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 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.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <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

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function getvalue(form)

       {

         form.clientID.value=form.clientName.value;

       }

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