Change hidden field value when dropdown list changes

[MOzgaf]

Hi,

The problem is I have a list that i want to send to other file(php) but I want to send two corresponding variables. I was wondering if this is easy with the hidden field.

<select id='myselect'>
    <option value='1'>A</option>
    <option value='2'>B</option>
    <option value='3'>C</option>
    <option value='4'>D</option>
</select>
<input type='hidden' id='myhidden' value=''>

If I want to select A I want the hidden value to change to email address corresponding with A. I dont want to use 1 ,as 1 is the name of person and that is used to look for him in the php file.

The Questions, is there an eisier way that using IF and ELSE statements? because the list is very long.

<select id='myselect' onchange="document.getElementById('myhidden').value=this.value">
    <option value='1'>A</option>
    <option value='2'>B</option>
    <option value='3'>C</option>
    <option value='4'>D</option>
</select>
<input type='hidden' id='myhidden' value=''>

if you want to do a form submit (i.e. not AJAX) you would have to give the form elements a name.
