Auto fill out

[thuyduong]

Hi all,
I created a perl form to collect data in a flat text file and it work great.
1. Date
2. Part Number
3. Description
4. Quantity
5. Comment

But if I have a part number and a list
501-1234-01 Desk
501-2345-02 Chair
501-4567-01 Book
501-9876-02 Pen

will javascript can write to add in this html form, so if people add part number 501-1234-XX it will auto fill in Description is Desk, or 501-2345-XX and it will auto fill in Chair, so we only add Quantity and Comment ? it will advoid of mistyping or force poeple to type or select on description.

I saw the script if you add the zip code then it auto fill in the state, it is cool so i think someone can do this and will you show me the code.

Thanks for your help

yes its pretty simple to get this done really,
just asign an onkeyup event call to the textfield in question and use a function that will check whats the value in the field...depending upon the value just show the description somewhere on the page
