popup box that auto populates

I am new to this forum, I have a popbox that I am trying to make autopopulate when a user select NA from a dropdown selection. I have to popup part working but it i will not show the text in the box.
Here is my code, i have it commented out because is not working:

function createcom( i )
{

opencreatecompopup()



//var qcomm;
//if (qcomm == "")
//{
//qcomm = qcomm + "; Q #" + i + ":";(Question #" + i + ":";-This is what it is suppose to put in the popup box)
//document.form.txtqcomments.value = qcomm;
//}

//else
//{
//qcomm = qcomm + "; Q #" + i + ":";
//document.form.txtqcomments.value = qcomm;

//}

}
Can anyone help????

:confused:

You will have to be more specific with your question and code.

In the code you posted the if/else statements do exactly the same thing.

The variable qcomm is never given a value and function opencreatecompopup() does not exist.

All you can do with that code is


<script>
function createcom( i ){

qcomm = "Question #" + i + ":"
document.form1.txtqcomments.value = qcomm

}
</script>

<form name="form1">
<textarea name="txtqcomments"></textarea>
<input type="button" value="Q 1" onclick="createcom(1)">
<input type="button" value="Q 2" onclick="createcom(2)">
</form>

Also do not assume that everyone will know what a popbox is, is it a div or a window?

The popup window will appear when the options NA(not applicable) is select from a dropdown list box.

is this a college assignment?

for my work.

so, how come you and another user have asked the same question, then?

There does seem to be an increasing number of "Homework" questions on the forums these days :(

She's my friend and she posted the question for me, until I got registered. I have some screen shots that will give a better idea of what I am trying to accomplish, but I can not post it in the forum because the doc. was to large.
