Hey khurram,
Is this what you're looking for?
<form name="f1">
<select name="s1" onchange="document.f1.t1.value=this[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="a">a
<option value="b">b
</select>
<input type="text" name="t1">
</form>

I can't find any reference on how you separate the label from the value. From what I can tell, JS only allows you to retrieve what is specified in the "value=" attribute. You could do a little trickery though and use a delimiter and put both in there like this:
<option value="5,Page 1">Page 1
<option value="6,Page 2">Page 2
You could then write JS to separate them on the client side and use the CF list functions to separate them on the server side. That's the only way I can see right now to retrieve both the value and the label from with client side JS.

Is this what you mean:
<form name="f1">
<select name="s1" onchange="document.f1.t1.value=this[this.selectedIndex].value; document.f1.t2.value=this[this.selectedIndex].text;">
<option value="a">Option A
<option value="b">Option B
</select>
<input type="text" name="t1"><br>
<input type="text" name="t2">
</form>
Diplay can be referred to by "text", value by "value" (makes sense doesn't it ;-) )
