Populate TextField based on DropDownList selection

Hello guys,
I want to fill a textfield based on a menu selection, for example the database has two fields agent_name and agent_number.
agent_name | agent_number
    Scott         |          1
    Dave         |          2
    Matt          |           3
I created a dropdown unsing Dreamweaver CS5, and I fill the values using a database (MySQL), there is a readonly text field called agent_number like the database field, basically I want to put the agent number based on the name selection, if you select Scott, this will autopopulate the number 1.
Can I do this automatically using dreamweaver? Or Do I need to do it using JavaScript?
Regards,

Well, if you really prefer a javascript based solution over achieving the same result with standard SQL methods, you can do it this way:
a) put this javascript function in the document HEAD:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
b) add an onchange event handler to the SELECT tag, example:
select name="agente" id="agente" onchange="transfer_agentid ()"
However I´d like to remind you that any javascript based approach is not reliable, because you don´t know whether some visitor will have javascript enabled in his/her browser.

Pre-Populate Dropdown based on information selected in another dropdown

Hello,
I hope this make since. I am working on building a form using Adobe Livecycle Designer. I have a dropdown list in multiple fields on the same form that will have the same information selected. I want the additional fields to automatically populate the information a user selects in the first dropdown list. Is this possible ??? If so, what would be the script/code necessary to do so ??? Thank you for your help.
Example
City, State appears in 4 different fields based on the selection in field 1, the additional 3 fields auto-populates the same information.
Field/List 1: New York, NY <-- Selected City, State
Field/List 2: New York, NY <-- Auto Populated based on field 1
Field/List 3: New York, NY <-- Auto Populated based on field 1
Field/List 4: New York, NY <-- Auto Populated based on field 1

In the exit event of the first State field, using Javascript, something like this should work:
State2.rawValue = this.rawValue;
State3.rawValue = this.rawValue;
State4.rawValue = this.rawValue;
...where "State2", "State3", etc. are references to the other dropdowns you want to populate with the same information from the first state field.
Be sure to set the binding values in the BINDING tab of the dropdowns to the same in each dropdown,

Auto populate fields based on dropdown selection

New to forms and needing some insight
Is there a way to auto populate a series of fields based on the selection of a dropdown box
for instance;
chosing a customer's name from a dropdown box would auto populate the address, city,state zip etc...

Yes, but not easy and you do not want to have a large number of items.

Is there a way to auto-populate text based on a selection?

I honestly don't even know how to word my question haha... so the title may be misleading...
For my job I need to fill out indesign files, and at one part of the file based on the state a person is from I need to paste a specific e-mail in several places.
Is there a way where maybe I create a dropdown menu of the several state e-mails I can choose from, and upon choosing it auto-populates that choice into the several other places?
I guess, is there a way where if I make a select or input text into one area it will generate in the other areas as well?

Maybe you need some kind of clipboard manager to choose several texts to paste

How to populate a dropdown box based on a selection in another Dropdown box.

I am trying to find out a way to do the following:
I am using coldfusion ....working on a form. The form has
couple of dropdown boxes. Based on the selection on the first
dropdown box another dropdown box needs to get populated with
different options. These options will be coming from a query. I am
trying to find out the Javascript code for doing this.
Thanks in advance.

jchopra,
There's a method to doing what you're wanting to do that I've
used extensively.
Basically, within my code, I start by invoking the method
that returns the data for the dropdown lists. Then, I use the
following code to pour the data returned into a javascript array:
var locArray = new Array(#evaluate(locs.recordcount+1)#);
locArray[0] = new Array('','','','','','','','','',);
<cfloop query="locs">
locArray[#locs.CurrentRow#] = new
Array('#JSStringFormat(locationId)#',
'#JSStringFormat(fkyPolicyId)#',
'#JSStringFormat(locationNumber)#',
'#JSStringFormat(description)#',
'#JSStringFormat(address1)#',
'#JSStringFormat(address2)#',
'#JSStringFormat(zipcode)#',
'#JSStringFormat(city)#',
'#JSStringFormat(state)#';
</cfloop>
Then I wrote a javascript function that is assigned to the
first dropdown's onChange() event. When the user changes the value
that is selected within the dropdown, I use javascript to locate
(using the policyid) the corresponding record in the javascript
array and populate and/or select the appropriate value(s) in the
second dropdown.
If the data returned from the method invocation is too large
to use within a javascript array, you may need to limit the results
that are returned.
Hope this makes sense. If not, please let me know.

Trying to get a fourth field to populate based on the selection from three other dropdown menus.

I would like the Treatment Classification field to populate with a combination of text and numbers based on my selection from three other drop down menus.
For example:
If I select "0-No Hurt" in the AHL field, "0-No Hurt in the PHL field, and "Near Miss in the Treatment Choice field, then the Treatment Classification field would populate to "L00NM".
If I select "2-Moderate Hurt: in the AHL, "4-Fatality" in the PHL field, and "Restricted Work Incident" in the Treatment Choice field, then the Treatment Classifiaction field would populate to "L24RWI".
If I select "1-Minor Hurt" in the AHL field, "4-Fatality" in the PHL field, and "Medical Treatment Incident" in the Treqatment Choice field, then the Treatment Classifiaction field would populate to "L14MTI".
Etc, etc, etc.
I could then fill in the resyt of the script with the required text.
Not sure how to load my PDF file.
Thanks,
Rick

Do your dropdown list items currently have export values set up? It seems like the value you want to construct is simply concatenating the values of the three dropdowns, and this would be easy if you set the export values of the list items appropriately. For example, the export value for the "0-No Hurt" item would be 0 and for "Near Miss" it would be "NM", etc., so the script could look something like:
// Get the values of the drop downs, as strings
var v1 = getField("AHL").valueAsString;
var v2 = getField("PHL").valueAsString;
var v3 = getField("Treatment Choices").valueAsString;
// Set this field's value
event.value = "L" + v1 + v2 + v3 + "other text goes here."

Populate field based on selection from another field?

I'm using a Data Connection with a SQL query that returns two fields (StNameFull and ADDRKEY). I have a drop-down list called "Address" with the list items dynamically bound to StNameFull, so the user can select the address.
What I'm trying to do is populate the second field "Key" with the corresponding record, based on the selection made from the drop-down list.
Is it possible to script this so that when the Address is selected the Key will automatically fill in with the key that matches the address selcted?
I currently have "Key" as a text field bound to ADDRKEY, but not sure how to have it check what was selected in "Address"
Thanks so much,
- Kevin

Yes it is possible but you will have to write some script to do it. You wil also have to ge the DataConenction to execute a SQL statement. There is a good blog on this topic at this location:

Populate imagebox based on selection from listbox

Hi,
First off, I am not a developer, but I have been able to do quite a few things in Access VBA to suit my needs.
I have created an access "application" that lists product information based values entered in a textbox and combobox. Now I need to display the product image as well.
I have a form with a textbox that the user types in a product brand code. This code determines the styles that are populated in the style combobox (these changes as soon as the brand code changes). I then have a button that runs a query to fetch products
that have the style and brand as per the previously selected values. I then have a listbox that displays the data from the query. the other fields on the form are populated based on the selection made in the listbox (each time a new row is selected, the details
on the form change).
Up to this point I everything works fine. Now I need to populate an image box based on the selection made on the list. I have a lot of images and they are all named
brand-style.jpg
My question is: How do I populate this image box based on the selection made in the list?
"Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most"

Store the full path to each image file in a text column in the Products table. Return this as a hidden column in the list box by setting its column width to zero. Set the ControlSource property of the image control to reference the list box's
hidden column.
You'll find examples of how to load an image into an image control in various contexts as Images.zip in my public databases folder at:

Want 2 populate value in 2nd list item based on value selected in 1st list?

Want 2 populate value in 2nd list item based on value selected in 1st list?

Gaurav -
The 3rd list will not populate because nothing has been selected yet in list 2. The value in list 2 is null, so the loop to populate list (3) has nothing to load. Try the following below. This should seed your 2nd list so the 3rd list will populate.
You will have to declare first_record boolean and first_value to match DESCC.
first_record := true; -- NEW *****
Clear_List('BLOCK2.ITEM2');
FOR CurRec IN (SELECT UNIQUE DESCC DESCC FROM LUTT where LUTT.IDD = :BLOCK2.ITEM1)
LOOP
if first_record = true then -- NEW SECTION *****
first_value := CurRec.DESCC;
first_record := false;
end if;
Add_List_Element('BLOCK2.ITEM2',1,CurRec.DESCC,CurRec.DESCC);
END LOOP;
:block2.item2 := first_value; -- NEW *****
Clear_List('BLOCK2.ITEM3');
FOR CurRec2 IN (SELECT UNIQUE DESCC DESCC FROM LUTT where LUTT.DESCC = :BLOCK2.ITEM2)
LOOP
Add_List_Element('BLOCK2.ITEM3',2,CurRec2.DESCC,CurRec2.DESCC);
END LOOP;

Populating other fields in a form based on the selection in a combobox field

We have done a form(masterdetail) in which we have a combobox field.When we make a selection in the field we require some two other fields to be automatically populated retrieving data from a table(which has the details required) based on the selection made.For eg. Selecting emp id(combobox) should populate empname and salary automatically in the form.Is this possible?If so how can this be done?
Thanks & Regards,

This is what I did following Michael's suggestion and it works fine :-
1> Created a dynamic LOV named LOV_EMPNO as:-
select empno,empno from scott.emp
2> Started creating a form named FORM024_EMP2 on scott.emp.
3> On reaching the Formatting and Validation section, I chose the EMPNO field in the left frame.
In the right frame for EMPNO, I changed the item-type to Combobox and selected the lov LOV_EMPNO.
Then I went to the Javascript handler section for EMPNO, chose the Javascript event onChange and in the
adjacent Textarea, I wrote:-
popdetails(this);
We will create the javascript function popdetails() in the Additional pl/sql section.
4> Click next and goto the Additional PL/SQL section and I wrote the following code in
"...after displaying the page" area.
(You can write this either in
before displaying the page,
before displaying the form,
after displaying the form,

Create a filtered list based on the selection in another field? URGENT HELP NEEDED

Hi,
Hoping someone can help me with something I am working on. i am fairly new to creating forms in acrobat (know how to us the full range of very basic features) but I have now found myself needing some help.
i am producing an order form, and I need to create a filtered dropdown list based on the value selected in another field.
basically, when a user select the company chooses their Business Name from a dropdown list, I would like their deliver address to self populate. In some cases there may be a few options for the company delivery address so in these cases the second option would be a dropdown list of the options available for that company.
i have attached a screenshot, it is the Fields "Business Name" and "delivery Address/Delivery Postcode" that i would like to be linked so that the option in Business Name filtered the options in delivery Address
Hope someone out there has the time to help me with this, i am using Acrobat Pro DC
many Thanks

This will require a complex, custom-made script. The basic functionality of populating another field based on a selection in a drop-down is not that complicated, but if you want it to also populate other drop-downs (and then presumably use them to populate other fields), it will require a more complex solutions.

How do I specify different emails for a form to send to based on different selections?

How do I specify different emails for a form to send to based on different selections?
Creating a form that can be sent to an email address is simple enoug but my problem I can't figure out. There is a drop down menu on the form and based on what the user selects the form will be sent to 1 of 3 groups of email addresses. How can I specify which group of email addresses belong to a particular dropdown menu selection?

You can populate the drop down with a dataprovider that has the dropdown field and the emailgroup field.

Hi JonMorgan,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to achieve that the second dropdown gets populated depending on what the first dropdown is set to.
To achieve your requirement, creating cascading dropdown fields with InfoPath.
Please refer to the following links about cascade drop down in InfoPath form:

Auto-fill text box field values based on pulldown selection

Trying to fill in address, city, state, zip text fields based on option selected in a select form field. The following code works great in Internet Explorer, but in Chrome or Firefox, after making selection, text fields are populated with the word "undefined."

Anyway, I wish I could buy you a beer or two for the help . . .
