Hello, i've coded a textarea where a person can select an option (title of an article) and then that article will display in an adjacent table..
Now this i primarily coded in php and html but from what i've looked through in google, it seems that i also need to use a javascript event handler in order for the textarea to send the selected option to my php sql_query search in another file (the query will then look for the associated article in my sql database) and display it in the aforementioned table..
so here's my code..
So what code would i have to have so that if the user clicks on an option, its article automatically opens up?
Thanks~

mysql_connect("10.11.143.151", "group1","group1") or die(mysql_error());
//select your database
mysql_select_db("group1");
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action="combobox.php" method="post">
<select name="combobox" id="combobox" size="20">
<?php
$query = mysql_query("select * from help_file");
//return the array
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
$title = $row['title'];
$content = $row['content'];
?>
<option name="title"><?php echo $title;?></option>
<?php }
?>
</select>
<?php
include 'combobox.php';
?>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Thanks~
