Author Control an Input box from a Drop Down box

Please forgive me if this is not the right place for this question

All(!) Iwant to do is have a form with a Drop Down box and an Input
box.. and when the forms "Submit" button is clicked both values should
be sent to the server.. so far so good (I'm ok with forms and
"Submit").. but when the user selects a new value from the drop down
the input box should be updated

in 'proper' VB this would nearly be

DropDown.OnClick
(

Input_Box.Value = DropDown.Value


)

So I'm looking for any VB examples !!!

Do you mean "InputBox" or "text box"?

The following uses JavaScript to do what I think you want:

<html>
<head>
<title>text_box.htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function picker() {
var form = document.form1;
form.picked.value = form.pick.options[form.pick.selectedIndex].value;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1">
<select name="pick" onchange="picker()">
<option value="1">One
<option value="2">Two
<option value="3">Three
</select>
<input type="text" name="picked">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Why do you want that? The selected value from the drop-down will also be
passed to the server.

Consider also, the very likely (and becoming more likely) scenario that your
visitor will have all client script disabled in their browser.
