Hi,

I'm not sure this is possible but if it is I hope someone can point me in the direction of the best way to do it.

I want to be able to fill in a form on a page with various bits of information and I want to be able to use the information and output it to a text box with predefined text that can be copied else where.

As a example of what I'm wanting to do is the following:

Form with fields:
Customer Name:
Item:
Size:
Colour:
Price:

If possible I'd like some of the form fields to be drop down menus.

I then want to output that to a text box in the following format:

Order Placed for $customer Name
$item
$size
$colouy
Advised of T&C's ect.
$price

So that it them can be copied quickly to a CMS without having to type the same text all the time.

Is this possible and can someone point me where I'd need to start looking to work out how to do it.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld mattysheff. Your question may not be clear enough for many to answer. Are you trying to make a form or some kind of form filler?

Thank you Bill for your response. I've sussed out what I wanted to do by using Java Script. I know what I wanted to do but just didn't have a clue the best way to do it. Once I was on the right track it was surprisingly simple to do.
