Probably a stupid HTML question

It does do that, just change document...value='' to whatever you want, ie document...value='Roses'

Are you sure.. when i preview the HTML it does not write anything to the text box...?

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Navigation Panels</title>
</head>

<body>

	<div align="center">

		<form name="form2">
	
			<select name="Colour">
	
				<option selected>.:: Please Make Your Selection ::.</option>
				<option value="Red" onClick="document.form2.output2.value='Roses'">Red</option>
				<option value="Green" onClick="document.form2.output2.value='Sea'">Blue</option>
				<option value="Blue" onClick="document.form2.output2.value='Grass'">Green</option>
				<option value="Blue" onClick="document.form2.output2.value='Sun'">Yellow</option>
	  
			</select>
			
			<p>
			
				<textarea name="output2" cols="40" rows="10">
	
				</textarea>
				
			</p>
	
		</form>
		
	</div>
	
</body>

</html>

Works for me

That seems to be a bit better, but when displayed in IE, there is still nothing in the textbox, however, there does seem to be something that can be selected.. except there is nothing there, and you cant see it when it is highlighted... what a palava...

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var keys = new Array();

keys[1] = 'photoshop 7 key';
keys[2] = 'Office XP key';

function get_key(programSelect)
{
	var ProgramIndex = programSelect.selectedIndex;
	var ProgramValue = programSelect.options[ProgramIndex].value;
	document.forms['form1'].elements['cdkey'].value = (ProgramValue != 0) ? keys[ProgramValue] : '';
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form name="form1" id="form1">
<label for="program">Program</label>
<select name="program" id="program" onchange="get_key(this);">
	<option value="0">Select program...</option>
	<option value="1">Photoshop 7</option>
	<option value="2">Office XP</option>
</select> 
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Fetch CD Key..." />
<input type="text" name="cdkey" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

That's how I would do it- a much better way than arrays in my opinion

If you copy that into notepad, save it as a .html file and it should give you something like this. I've also tested it in IE and it works fine. Hope that's OK for you :cool:

Right... Something is afoot here. Can someone else copy Triggers html and try it. I get 'undefined' in the text box. Ive tried it in Notepad and in Dreamweaver8, and it keeps giving me the same damn message. How irritating!

Thanks for your help btw Trig, your a good bloke for coding mass HTML for me! Sorry its borking at my end!

You're welcome mate

I've just found the problem though- it's vBulletins maximum word size limit :rolleyes:

Basically, if you look at the bit which says:

Code:

.value=document.form2.colour.options

There are two spaces in between 'form' and '2'. Delete the spaces and try again, then it should be fine

jonnyg · 28 Feb 2006 at 23:43

YES!!!

You bloody legend mate, thanks very much! Now its time to fill it in.... waaa! Thanks Trigger, i have much to learn, but im getting there slowly. Very slowly!
