I didn’t get any more responses after the previous question I had. I got a ton of help from the last question, thanks to all. How I’m doing this is, based on the selection “Concerning” it will pull a mirrored index value(email address) from an array and replace the “recipient” value with it. There are a few selections that will pull the same email address. Here is the last issue I’m having – The test page with this java script with “email#1, email#2,….” worked on a test page from mtsherman(thanks a bunch!). When I add the actual emails into this array, it won’t pull the value over to the recipient value. It’s probably a very simple fix, but I’m novice and stumped! Thanks in advance.

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
document.getElementById('Concerning').onchange = function() { 
    var myArray = ["Empty", 
                   "None@none.com", 
                   "None1@none.com", 
                   "None2@none.com", 
                   "None1@none.com", 
                   "None4@none.com", 
                   "None5@none.com", 
                   "None1@none.com", 
                   "None7@none.com", 
                   "None8@none.com",
           "None9@none.com",
           "None5@none.com",
           "None8@none.com"];

    document.getElementsByName('recipient')[0].value = myArray[this.selectedIndex];
};

    Your code is running before the page has loaded. You should see an error in your JavaScript console complaining that document.getElementById('Concerning') is null. Use an onload handler to delay execution of your code until the page is ready:

    window.onload = function () {
    document.getElementById('Concerning').onchange = function () {
        ...
    };
};
