combo box help

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 16.2009

i am trying to fill multiple (5) text boxes with one selection of a combo box. i i am looking for each selection to give me different values. i have not coded java script for over 5 years and i have had some luck getting some code for what i want but it still does not do what i need. i have found code that allows me to choose a selection and fill the 5 text boxes but it cannot recognize when a selection is created. I attached a couple files that kind of do what i am looking for. any help would be appreciated. thank you.

}
else
{
var vals = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value.split('|');
T1.value = vals[0];
T2.value = vals[1];
T3.value = vals[2];
T4.value = vals[3];
T5.value = vals[4];
}
return true;">
