I have a simple drop-down box and I am successfully using Javascript to automatically fill a textbox when a drop-down item is selected.
Once I edit any of the textbox's automatically filled text, or use a "Clear" button to erase textbox, the drop-down list no longer replaces fills the textbox.
How can I continue to use the drop-down box once the user has altered the textbox?
HTML code:
<select id="dropdown" onchange="preset();">
<option value="">Select a person:</option>
<option value="Abe" >Abe</option>
<option value="Bob" >Bob</option>
<option value="Cal" >Cal</option>
<option value="Dan" >Dan</option>
</select>
<input type=Submit value="Clear" onclick="document.getElementById('mytext').value='';">
<textarea id="mytext"></textarea>
Javascript code:
function preset() {
document.getElementById("mytext").innerHTML=document.getElementById("dropdown").value
}
