Hi all

I am new to Java, I use VBA as a rule.

Could someone please tell me how to program so that on a web page I could insert a code into a box and then a popup menu of some kind would show the part this refers to.

ie

I have five codes 1234, 1235, 1236, 1237, & 1238.

If I input code 1234 I want the program to show Desk, 1235 is Chair, 1236 is Table, etc. Maximum would be around 50 codes.

Thanks in advance for any help

Dave

</form>

Keep in mind that this will not work without JavaScript, about 10% of the time. You will need a server side version for back up.
