JavaScript question

Hi

Not sure if anyone can help on this here

What i want to be able to do, is after the following code had run to generate the drop down list of email history, i want to set some JS so when the user clicks one of the emails in the history, it automatically puts it into a text box. I have an idea of how to do this but not 100%

[code]
<select name="emailhistory">
  <?
  $sql = "SELECT * FROM email_history WHERE user_id=" . $userid;
  $result = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());

  while ($emailHistory = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    ?>
    <option><? echo $emailHistory['email']; ?></option>
    <?
  }
  ?>
</select>
[/code]

here is what i think the JS should look like:

[code]
<select name="emailhistory" onclick="return ChooseHistoryEmail()">

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  function ChooseHistoryEmail() {
    chosenemail = document.formname.emailhistory.option[0];
    document.formname.textboxname.value = chosenemail;
  }
</SCRIPT>
[/code]

any ideas?
