I want to pass a selected value from select pull down list to a input text on the same page.
But the following codes never work. Any suggestions?

<html>

<form>
<body>
<select name="xselect" onChange="this.form.xtext.value=xselect.option[selectedIndex].value">
<option>
<option value="A">A
<option value="B">B
<option value="C">C
</select>

<input type="text" name="xtext">Selection?

</form>
</body>
</html>
