Hi Vini,

If you have a form which looks like this:
[HTML] <form name="TestForm" >
<select name="cboTest" onchange="displ ayvalue();">
<option value="1">Optio n 1</option>
<option value="2">Optio n 2</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="txt1" />
</form>[/HTML]
You can use the following javascript function to populate the text box with the selected value:

 
 <script type="text/javascript">
 function displayvalue()
 {
 document.TestForm.txt1.value = document.TestForm.cboTest.options[document.TestForm.cboTest.selectedIndex].value
 } 
 </script>

You'll need to place the script inside the head tags of your page and change the names of the form and controls as appropriate. Hopefully you can see how this function works: when you change the item in the list box the OnChange event fires and loads the function which sets the value of the specified textbox to the value of the selected item.

Let me know how you get on,
