Question

Hi I have a quick question to ask..
But ill make an example first
Column1 is MemberID
Column2 is Teamname

MemberID = 23, Teamname = ggdiablo

I have made a dropdown list of my teamname column..

<select id="teamlist" name="teamlist">
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('Select MemberID, teamname from members where ');
$stmt->execute();

   while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {

echo "<option>".$row['teamname']."</option>";
 }
 ?>
</select> 

is it possible to automatically fill in MemberID in a textbox form if I choose “ggdiablo” from the dropdown list?
if so, how?

Answer 1

Use javascript. Add a value attribute for each tag, with the MemberID. Add a onchange attribute to the tag, with the following value: onChangeTeamListSelect();. Fix your code, you are missing an opening tag.

 function onChangeTeamListSelect()
 {
    var objSelectTeamlist=document.getElementById('teamlist');
    var objEditBox=document.getElementById('some_edit_box_id');

    objEditBox.value=objSelectTeamlist.value;
 }
