Hi Praveen,

I would do this with a simple javascript function called by the Select onchange event.

[html]
<select id="selectpg" onchcnage="poplateText('selectpg', 'textDisplay');"
[/html]
NOTE: 'textDisplay' is the ID of the input text you control where the value should display. the rest of your code should be fine, this is just to illustrate where the onchange call goes.

The javascript would look like:
[code]
function populateText(pcSourceID, pcTargetID)
{
// get the source value
lcSourceValue = document.getElementById(pcSourceID).value ;
//set the target value
document.getElementById(pcTargetID).value = lcSourceValue ;
}

This simple function should do the trick.
