A quick and somewhat dirty solution that comes to mind using just javascript
would be to place an <input type=text box under (or above or next to) the
drop down list, then write the description into value= for the text box (you
could also use a select box, load the select list with the description array
using option=, then set the selected option value so the description for the
selected job is shown).
I haven't done much with javascript and nothing with DHTML, but re:
javascript, I don't remember ever seeing a method to just change some text
on a page, which is what you're trying to do. Maybe some poking around at:
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/communicator/jsref/
will help. If you find a non-DHTML solution, please let me know, I have a
project coming up that will need that exact same functionality.
TIA,
Jack
