<i>
</i>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"&gt;
function changeContent() {
var content = document.form1.select1.value;
document.getElementById("adiv");
adiv.innerHTML = "" + content + "";
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body onload="changeContent()"&gt;
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
#adiv {
border: solid 2px black;
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
}
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;form name="form1"&gt;
&lt;select name="select1" onChange="changeContent()"&gt;
&lt;option value="This content was created with the first option."&gt;Content 1&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="Similarily, this content was created with option two."&gt;Content 2&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="And Finally, option Threes content is displayed."&gt;Content 3&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
&lt;div id="adiv"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
