I find this aticle interesting and relevant to my work but I am hoping that in addition to this capability of transfering a field element to another, it can also place this element in a specific spot in the other field. I noticed that it places the element at the end of the destination field. If, for example, you need to insert a line from a first field to the middle of a second field, I am hoping that this script can be modified to suit this need.
Thank you

This is code from one
of your pages. It works fine in
Internet Explorer but how would
you get it to work in netscape?
raj.
In this example there are two forms within the same document called formName1 and formName2. Within formName1 there is a drop down select list called selectName1 and within formName2 there are two text box fields called textboxName1 and textboxName2
There are various events we could utilise to pass the value or text from the selected option to the text box, e.g. onClick, onChange, onFocus, onBlur and onClick.
In this example I shall use the onChange event to trigger the setForm2Value() function which will change the value of the two text boxes to the value and text of the selected option:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"></SCRIPT>
<FORM NAME="formName1">
<SELECT NAME="selectName1" onChange="setForm2Value()">
<OPTION>Select one:
<OPTION VALUE="ill">Doc
<OPTION VALUE="miserable">Happy
<OPTION VALUE="cheerful">Grumpy
<OPTION VALUE="wide awake">Sleepy
<OPTION VALUE="smart">Dopey
<OPTION VALUE="boastful">Bashful
<OPTION VALUE="breathing">Sneezy
</SELECT>
</FORM>
<P>
<FORM NAME="formName2">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXTBOX" NAME="textboxName1" VALUE="" SIZE=10>
is
<INPUT TYPE="TEXTBOX" NAME="textboxName2" VALUE="" SIZE=10>
</FORM>
