glad to hear that

I got it to work! Thank you for all of your help!

You have all the info you need on this thread to do just that. I could tell you how but you wouldn't learn

That works awesome! Thank you! You are very helpful and I am learning a lot!
I want to add a second field so if one of the radio buttons is checked an additional value goes into another text field. This field will change depending on the radio button selected.

&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;
function autofill()
{
        for(i=0;i<document.myform.myradio.length;i++)
        {
              if(document.myform.myradio[i].checked)
              {
                      radiovalue=i;
              }
         }
        switch (radiovalue)
        {
              case 0:
                    document.myform.myinput1.value='value1';  // hard coded way
                    break;
              case 1:
                    document.myform.myinput1.value='<?=$myvalue11;?>';  // php way
                    break;
       }
}
&lt;/script&gt;

<form name="myform">
 choice 1<input type="radio" name="myradio" onclick="autofill()">
 choice 2<input type="radio" name="myradio" onclick="autofill()">

<input type="text" name="myinput1">

</form>

If I have the selections as radiobuttons, which I prefer, then autofill 2 fields depending on the choice. How would that change it?

you just have to put only one line in the case section corresponding.

Thank you! I see the logic but I do have a couple of questions. How can I get the myselect to input just one text field based on the selection?

druagord — Thu, 19 Feb 2004 17:21:13 +0000

put this in head

&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;
function autofill()
{
        switch (document.myform.myselect.selectedIndex)
        {
              case 0:
                   alert('select something');
                   break;
              case 1:
                    document.myform.myinput1.value='value1';  // hard coded way
                    document.myform.myinput2.value='<?=$myvalue2;?>';  // php way
                    document.myform.myinput3.value='value3';  // hard coded way
                    document.myform.myinput4.value='value4';  // hard coded way
                    document.myform.myinput5.value='value5';  // hard coded way
                    break;
              case 2:
                    document.myform.myinput1.value='value10';  // hard coded way
                    document.myform.myinput2.value='<?=$myvalue11;?>';  // php way
                    document.myform.myinput3.value='value12';  // hard coded way
                    document.myform.myinput4.value='value13';  // hard coded way
                    document.myform.myinput5.value='value14';  // hard coded way
                    break;
       }
}
&lt;/script&gt;

put this in your page

<form name="myform">
<select name="myselect" onchange="autofill()">
<option> select something </option>
<option> choice 1</option>
<option> choice 2</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="myinput1">
<input type="text" name="myinput2">
<input type="text" name="myinput3">
<input type="text" name="myinput4">
<input type="text" name="myinput5">
</form>

now you should see the logic in this

nitestarz — Thu, 19 Feb 2004 17:09:27 +0000

Yes that is what I would like. Are there any scripts/tutorials for this? Thanks
