autofill form field?

[dreams4000]

Is there a way to have a form field autofill with some predefined text based off of a selection from a pulldown list in php? The pulldown would have options for a user such as, Make comments, add a note, review the file .. etc.. and I want when the user selects one of those items from the pull down for it to autofill a text field with a predefined bit of text. Any ideas?

JavaScript is what you'd need to update a form based on user interaction.

That is what I was afraid of🙁 Thanks for the reply!

use a javascript call to a function submitting to PHP_SELF so you have $_POST variables from the pulldown and can choose wich content must fill the text field

Why make a round trip to the server when you can preload the JavaScript with the data to fill in?
