single input multiple text boxes - Help

[mukhtar88]

Hi,

I need your help regarding this script.

I have a single drop down menu with dates for 30 days. When I select a particular date the answers are displayed in 11 text boxes simultaneously. For every day there is a different answer in all boxes.

Drop down menu =T1
Two big text boxes are T2 and T3 displaying Text.

9 small boxes are T4 to T12 displaying numbers.

Here is the body script

<Form name="Reference" style="width: 160; height: 240; text-align: center; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #000000; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; background-color: #FF9999">
  <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"><b><font size="2" color="#000000">Select Date</font></b></p>
  <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
  <SELECT name="Ti" onChange="textValue()" size="1" style="width: 140">

</form>

I do not know how to connect all the text boxes to the single drop down
menu.

I mean the head script.

Please help.

you could do this with a bit of javascipt and PHP

e.g.

<select name='Ti' onchange="reload(this.form)">

function reload(form)
	{
	var val=form.ti.options[form.ti.options.selectedIndex].value;
	self.location='samepage.php?date=' + val ;
	}

<?php
$date = $_GET['date'];

switch ($date)
    {
    case 1:
        $t4 = ' value="Text to go in T4 box if 1-Nov is selected"';
        $t5 = ' value="Text to go in T5 box if 1-Nov is selected"';
    break;
    case 2:
        $t4 = ' value="Text to go in T4 box if 2-Nov is selected"';
        $t5 = ' value="Text to go in T5 box if 2-Nov is selected"';
    break;
    }
?>
<input type="text" name="T4" size="20" style="width: 25"<?php print $t4; ?>>
<input type="text" name="T5" size="20" style="width: 25"<?php print $t5; ?>>

It all depends what's in your 'textValue()' function.

This is how you would access a specific text box inside that function:

var T1 = document.getElementById('T1');
T1.value = 'whatever I want';

Based on this, you could do:

function textValue(elem) // substitute 'this' for 'elem' in the HTML
{
  for (i = 0; i < 12; i++)
  {
    var textbox = document.getElementById('T' + i);
    textbox.value = 'something';
  }
}

Is this what you mean?

Hi,

I am unable to understand the answer as I am not good at javascript or C language.

Previously I had uploaded a script which used to give single output from a dropdown menu which had text inside it. Here i wish to use date in the drop down menu and when the date is changed the answers are changed in all the Text boxes from T2 to T12. Please see the previous script as it was easy for me.

 var t = document.getElementById( outputId );

 if(!t ) return; 
 switch (p.value) 
 { 
  case "0": 
   // Set total value: 
   t.value = ""; 
   // Add your function to show/hide other inputs here 
   break; 
      case "1": 
   // Set total value: 
   t.value = "Rat and Ox"; 
   // Add your function to show/hide other inputs here 
   break; 
     case "2":
