Insert text in textbox upon selecting list value

hi

could someone help me to insert a piece of text in a text box when the user selects a particular value in a list field.

thanks

At the most rudimentary...

<select onchange="doIt()" ...>


function doIt()
{
document.formname.elementname.value='some text value';
}

Nikki is correct, as an addendum this example would insert the value of the select box into the text field.

<select onchange="document.theFormName.theTextBoxName.value=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">

Humble apologies, the error was in my code i posted, i missed out the closing ) of the if statement.

try this:

<select onchange="if(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value=='no'){document.theFormName.theTextBoxName.value='no'}">
"">
