Well, I don't know how dynamic you're trying to be with this, but I figure
it's probably good to start simple. It could get trimmed down, but more
complicated with arrays. But for a quick and easy to figure out
solution... you might want to try this...
<script language="Javascript"><!--
function populatefields(selection){
if (selection==""){
document.formname.field1.value="";
document.formname.field2.value="";
}
if (selection=="spot"){
document.formname.field1.value="canine";
document.formname.field2.value="male";
}
if (selection=="stephen"){
document.formname.field1.value="human";
document.formname.field2.value="male";
}
if (selection=="mary"){
document.formname.field1.value="human";
document.formname.field2.value="female";
}
}
//-->
</script>
<form name="formname" action="#" method"post">
<select name="name" onChange="populatefields(this[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="spot">Spot</option>
<option value="stephen">Stephen</option>
<option value="mary">Mary</option>
</select>
<br>
<input type="text" name="field1"><br>
<input type="text" name="field2"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
I hope that helps, if not... feel free to email me off list.
