Which event changes the selection in a list

[nivone]

HI,

I have textarea and a listbox with values.
I want that in case user sets the focus on the textarea the value displayed in the listbox will change to one of the values in the list, for example, to the first on the list.

<form name=form1>
<textarea onfocus=&quot;document.form1.ListBox.selectedIndex=1&quot; cols=20 rows=20></textarea>
<select name=&quot;ListBox&quot;>
<option value=&quot;&quot;>
<option value=&quot;1&quot;>1
<option value=&quot;2&quot;>2
</select>
</form>

HI,

I've tried it but it doesn't work. Here is my code:

<td width=&quot;340&quot; height=&quot;25&quot;><font face=&quot;Arial&quot;><b><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;owner&quot; size=&quot;20&quot; value=&quot;$rec[2]&quot; onFocus=&quot;document.form1.owner1.selectindex=0&quot;>

form1 is the name of the form.
owner1 is the name of the list

thanks

Hi nivone,

You have 2 syntax faults:

1) It is selected and not select
2) javascript is case sensitive: Index

so here is the right code (just as sjravee did)
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;owner&quot; size=&quot;20&quot; value=&quot;$rec[2]&quot; onFocus=&quot;document.form1.owner1.selectedIndex=0&quot;>

Hope this helsp,
Erik
