interpreted = N
texte = this is how i would start out:use a method ( like onBlur( ) ) in the drop down list tag. in your function, pass your variable (the value selected in the drop down.. something like.. document.formname.dropdownname ) and use wc code to pull the values out of the db and assign them to javascript variables ( var shippingdate = [ship_date]; and so on ) then use document.writeln( ) to fill in the values ( you can also write html code here.. just be sure to use the correct delemiters ) something like writeThis( ){document.formname.forminputvalue = [wc value] } might work too. be sure to test this in a few browsers to make sure it works. also.. i prefer document.writeln( ); to document.write( ); because document.write( ); can only handle 256 characters before it shits out. that wouldnt be good if you had to write a long comment out or many lines of code.hope this helps-- celesteBob McPeak wrote:> I'm looking for some code that will allow a user to select an item from a > drop-down list (i.e. a name from a list of names) and then populate other > fields in the same form with the corresponding values for that name returned > from a WC database. > > In other words, the user selects John Smith, and then John Smith's address > data is immediately populated into the form. > > I've browsed the archive and can't quite find what I'm looking for. > > Anybody have some sample code to help me get started? > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list
