Could someone provide and example of how to do this?

@Randy_The_NewbeauthorApr 10.2006 — Here is what I have so far. What it is that I need is a way to display in a text box the information assoicated with each state. I was hoping it would be a way to hard code the results into the page itself. Any help??

<html>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

<title>New Page 1</title>

</head>

<body>

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="fpweb:///_private/form_results.csv" S-Format="TEXT/CSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" -->

<p><select size="1" name="D1">

<option value="Indiana">Indiana</option>

<option value="Ohio">Ohio</option>

</select><input type="submit" value="Display" name="B1"><textarea rows="2" name="S1" cols="20"></textarea></p>

</form>

</body>

</html>

[code=html]<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>

<body>

<form>
<p><select size="1" name="D1">
<option value="Indiana">Indiana</option>
<option value="Ohio">Ohio</option>
</select><input type="button" value="Display" name="B1" onclick="S1.value=D1.value"><textarea rows="2" name="S1" cols="20"></textarea></p>
</form>

</body>

</html>[/code]

@Randy_The_NewbeauthorApr 10.2006 — Thank you for the assistance. What it is I need to display when a state is selected is the various department names and reps for each department.

<head>
<title>New Page 1</title>
<script>
depts = new Array();
depts["Indiana"] = "Department 1 - John DoenDepartment 2 - Mr. Smith";
depts["Ohio"] = "Department 1 - Suzy QnDepartment 2 - Jane Doe";
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form>
<p><select size="1" name="D1">
<option value="Indiana">Indiana</option>
<option value="Ohio">Ohio</option>
</select><input type="button" value="Display" name="B1" onclick="S1.value=depts[D1.value]"><textarea rows="5" name="S1" cols="30"></textarea></p>
