<SELECT NAME="cboList" onchange="document.form1.txtOutput.value = this.value">
<option value="Option 1">Option 1</option>
<option value="Option 2">Option 2</option>

<option value="Option 5">Option 5</option>
</SELECT>

i think you can do this better clientsided, with the code smeagol posted or something similar (plain Javascript).

Of course, a user can start messing that up, so i would only use the value from the dropdown in the asp page you post to

Are you wanting to fill a form from a database when the user selects something else from the drop down?

If so - the best thing, i would imagine, would be to creqte the listbox in ASP.NET like so:

<asp:DropDownList id="ListBox1" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="True">
</asp:DropDownList>

Obviously add in the data to be displayed in the list.

Then as server side code:

Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
' Do your database search on the selected option
' Put the results in an array / dataset / ... (Whatever suits you best)
' Then fill the form with the new information
' ie: txtCGrp.text = myArray("txtCGrp")
End Sub
