RE: [PHP] question (as if anything else would be in an email to the list...)

just write a js function like: --cut here-- <script> <!-- function changeValue(newValue) { document.formname.inputNameToChange.value = newValue; //here is alert to show you the thingy alert(document.formname.inputNameToChange.value); } //--> </script> <form name=formname> <input type=hidden name=inputNameToChange> <select onChange="changeValue(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);"> <option value=value1>label1 <option value=value2>label2 </select> </form> --end cutting-- DanO (javascript is your friend, not your enemy!) -----Original Message----- From: Jason Jacobs [mailto:jason@factory7.com] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 1:33 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] question (as if anything else would be in an email to the list...) Hi again. I have a new problem. I have a form with a drop down list. When the user chooses something from the list, I need a variable to change values so it can be used upon submission of the form. I thought maybe I could throw a little line of code into an onChange() function in the <select > tag, but I got the MS Debugger thrown up on me. Anyone got an idea of how to do this? Is it possible to call a javascript function and change the variable in there? Or an easier way (like inline php code...)?
