Update HTML textbox's value from link

[POC0bob]

Is there a way, that when someone clicks a 'link' it changes a textbox to the link's text? its not really a link, its a number and I need it for when they click on the numbers in the string/text it changes a textbox's value.

Sure; that's what Javascript is best at --- manipulating the loaded DOM. The basic idea: give the link a unique id, give the textbox a unique id, then set the onclick method of the "link" to call a function that sets the textbox value to the value of the "link".

How would i write this function that sets the value oft the textbox to the text of the link? the link is automatically generated on a mysql query.
