aHow can I have my drop down menus activate a certain value in a text box.

Here is the URL of the project I have to do. It will help explain things a little better.

I need to have each brand of liquor bring up a its value in a text box, then if possible have that textbox mulitplied by the Quantity to produce a total.

I'm hoping that theres an easier way than some hardcore database.

Thanks.

Thanks perfect, but what is the code? Do I have to add all of that javascript to the <head>?

Is there a way that I can have this number that appears in the text box be multiplied with another entered value??

A product will be selected from the drop down menu, from that a value will appear in textbox1. Can the value in textbox1 be multiplied with another value (entered by another textbox or even another dropdown menu) to prduce a total???
