This should explain everything (a picture is worth a thousand words).

Function:
function InsertPart(field, fieldvalue) {
document.frmCalc['Part'+field].value = fieldvalue;
}

Call:
onclick="InsertPart(#i#, document.frmCalc.PartSelector.value);"

Some browsers return nothing or undefined when select.value is used. Use the cross-browser way to get the value of selected item in a select.

onclick="InsertPart(#i#, document.frmCalc.PartSelector.options[document.frmCalc.PartSelector.selectedIndex].value);"

To optimize it a bit, you can reference the form object regardless of its name by using the form property of the button since both the Insert button and the combobox belong to the same form (All form controls have this property that refers to the form they belong to).

onclick="InsertPart(#i#, this.form.PartSelector.options[this.form.PartSelector.selectedIndex].value);"
