I'm not quite sure I understand what you're meaning, but I'll take a stab at it.

If you have:

Code:

<select name="selectBox">   <option>1</option>   <option>2</otpion>   </select>

You could simply add an 'onchange' javascript function to the element.

Code:

<select name="selectBox" onchange="myFunction();">   <option>1</option>   <option>2</otpion>   </select>

The the <head> of your page you could put:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

myFunction(){
    document.getElementById('textfield').html = "New text!";
}

</script>

So what's happening is that you set a javascript function do something to an element with the id of 'textfield'. What you told it to do is change the html (text) of that element.

When you make a selection with your SELECT element, the 'onchange' event is fired and does your javascript function.

I hope this is clear enough.
