Select Onchange Help

[byrondallas]

This is what I've been using in the past to drop the selected value into a text field, but it doesn't validate. What's the correct way to write this?

<select onchange=form.name.value=this.value;>
<option value="">Choose Color Name</option>
<option value="aliceblue">aliceblue</option>
-- more option values here --
</select>

<input type="text" name="name" value="">

Thank you,
Byron

Well, for one thing you shouldn't give reserved words (like "name") as the name or id of any object.

Try this:

<select name="selector" onchange="document.formname.color.value = this.value">
...
</select>
<input type="text" name="color" value="">

Where formname is the name of the form that these are nested within.
