We want to display the Description/ Name when an ID is entered in the field of the form
Example:

Buyer CEW1 Cindy Webb

(Label) (ID) (Description)

Now how should the "Description" be defined (may be using DIV tags, settings IDs, etc.) so that we can change the "Description" when the ID changes.

Hi,

Could you post a url or some code? Based on what you posted, I cannot tell if ID is in a selection list or textbox, or whatever. Nor do I know why you want divs in a form.

Hi rubin,

I got your email, and to clear some confusion: I do not respond to unsolicited emails on questions that begin at a forum. The rationale for that is:
1) I try to keep my email responses for clients, friends, family, my site's surfers, and individuals I specifically tell to email
2) if I answer your questions via email, then no one else at the forum will learn how to do what you originally asked.

Regarding what you wrote: No it does not make anything clearer. Again, do you have a url or some code.

If you are asking how to set up a div, you might try:

some text to hold space

you would call a function with an event handler (which one depends on your form). What the function actually needs to do is 2-fold:
1) get the description from somewhere
2) rewrite the div and display it.

For more on writing & displaying divs, you might look at the "dHTML: an Introduction" script/tutorial at my site.

For more help, I will need to see code and/or a url
