Table Look-up & Autofill problem

Hi all.
I built a test form in plain HTML which allowed a form field to
be autofilled from a drop-down list.
Now that I have converted the form to PHP for MySql data entry
the auto-fill no longer works.
It is also not possible to select an item from the drop down with
cut and paste to populate the form field.
Anyone know a workaround I can use to autopopulate the form
field from the select list on a PHP data-entry form?

Thanks in advance

perhaps he's wondering how in heck anyone would help troubleshoot your
problem, it's not really clear what your problem is, and if its something
to do with PHP code, then submit the relevant parts of it...

Do you want the item selected in a drop-down box to appear in a text form
field? If so, that's a javascript thing. Otherwise I must say that I too
cannot figure out your request.

Sorry, my crystal ball is in the shop for it's 10K usenet question
overhaul. And I can't see your code from this side of the screen.

Maybe if you explained your problem better we could help. Post relevant
code, etc.

This is total gobbldygook. It makes no sense.

Forms are always in HTML, with possibly some javascript involved. PHP
only helps to create them.

I would love to help but my crystal ball is down at the moment, so I
can't see all the sample code that you didn't post.

MY APOLOGIES TO ALL
On reading my question it is evidently a crap question and
deserves the remarks it got.

I will re-phrase the question and re-post/

Good -- starting a new thread will give you an opportunity to stop top-
