Javascript change div content upon a click

What I’m trying to do is have this code update the original Test

<div class="show">

with what the user has put there.

    <style type="text/css">
    /* Normal mode */
    .weight-display div.edit {display:none}
    /* Editor mode */
    .weight-edit div.show {display:none}
</style>
<div class="weight-display">
    <button onclick="toggle(this)">Edit this!</button>
    <div class="edit"><select name="Category">
<option value="Department">Department</option>
<option value="Accounts">Accounts</option><option value="Claims">HR</option><option value="Yachts UW">IT</option><option value="Marine Trade">Marketing</option></select></div>
    <div class="show">Test</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function toggle(button)
    {
        // Change the button caption
        button.innerHTML = button.innerHTML=='Edit this!' ? 'Save' : 'Edit this!';
        // Change the parent div's CSS class
        var div = button.parentNode;
        div.className = div.className=='weight-display' ? 'weight-edit' : 'weight-display';
    }
</script>

Answer 1

Ok so if I understand you correctly you want to get the selected value from the dropdown and set that value to the div.show ?

In that case you can do something like this http://jsfiddle.net/f9mBm/3/
