Function needed for form input text field

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 29.2006

Hi,

I would like to avoid using a form select field (due to CSS and Internet Explorer bugs) and am wondering if there is a JS function or JS code that can be referenced that allows the user to choose a value from an array list and when selected, place that value into the input text field value? I’m envisioning something like a button that appears right before or after the input text field that says something like, “choose input values”, and when clicked provides a pop-up window of values to choose from. When the value is chosen, this value would be put into the form’s input text field value. I am a beginner to JS so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
