Select Box Questions

[jamesh]

I have two questions on populating boxes with retrieved info from a database. First, I have a selection box that I want to be able to repopulate with data pulled up from a search, i.e., it functions as a selection list unless someone looks up a record, in which case the box reflects what the status of the record is. Can this be done without sending the user to another page?

Second, when retrieving information, I want to have some of the fields fill in a textarea box. So far, I can\'t get this to work. Is there a good reference to find the logic on doing this?

Sorry if this post rambles....got a head cold and a deadline to meet.

Thanks in advance!!

As for the textbox....it's not too difficult. Let's say you:

$row = mysql_fetch_array($SQLResult)

or something of that nature to pull your data. You can simply do this:

<TEXTAREA>
$row[your_field1]
</TEXTAREA>

to put the data from 'your_field1' in the textarea.

Hope this helps....
