option value to be passed in a text area.

[art15]

Hi all,

 

I have a selection option from my database which creates a drop down box like <option value=<?php print "<span class='prodid'>$quan => $ $price ea "; ?></option> with <select name="selectDatabase">

 

now there is a text box for the quantity to be purchased, it has a default value of 1, i want the text box to take the value from option value which is selected. for eg if the user selects 15 from the drop down, that value should be inserted in the text box.

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

you could do this with javascript:

 

<select name="selectDatabase">

<option onClick="textArea(this.value)" value=<?php print "<span class='prodid'>$quan => $ $price ea "; ?></option>

 

then have your textarea be like this:

<textarea id="textArea"></textarea>

 

and heres the javascript:

 

function textArea(option){
getElementById("textArea").innerHTML=option;
}
