    Auto Populate Text Box

    Hello:

    I have a registration form for classes. Each class has a fee. I have a
    drop down box whereby the user chooses his class. There is a textbox with
    the associated fee. I would like to auto populate the fee textbox depending
    on what class the user chooses. In the email, the value of the drop down
    box has to be the name of the class and the value of the fee text box has to
    be the fee. Can someone please help me in accomplishing this? Thank you.

    David

      You may not really want to do that.
      It would be trivial to hack your page to make it send your
      form with whatever class one wants, and whatever price they
      choose to pay for it. And I really hope you're not asking
      people to send personal/financial information through email.

      However:

      <html>
      <head>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      function populate(item){
      for(var i=0;i<item.form .elements.lengt h;i++){
      if(item==item.f orm.elements[i]){
      item.form.eleme nts[i+1].value=
      item.options[item.selectedIn dex].value;
      }
      }
      }
      </script>
      </head>
      <body>
      <form>

      <select onchange="popul ate(this)">
      <option value="">--none--</option>
      <option value="2.50">al pha</option>
      <option value="1.95">be ta</option>
      <option value="3.00">ga mma</option>
      </select>
      <input type="text"><br >

      <select onchange="popul ate(this)">

      <option value="1.95">be ta</option>

          Lee:
          Here is the problem. I need the value of the class (alpha, beta or gamma)
          to be just that in the email, not the fee amount. So, my question is is
          there a way to populate the fee text box with the number while maintaining
          the value of the name of the class? Thanks.

          David
