text box and drop down menus

[rabit]

I am new to javascript so I am sure I am completely missing something. I could post my script but its kind've big and clunky, but I'll post it on request. I was wondering if some one could just show me an example of a drop down menus value being added to the end of a text box value when submitted.

for example:

textbox value="a"
dropdown value="2"

so when submitted it submits as "a2"

thanks.

Try something like this:

<form action="script.php" onsubmit="combineValues();">
<input type="text" id="temptext" />
<select id="tempselect">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
<input type="text" id="combinedvalue" />
</form>

function combineValues(){
document.getElementById("combinedvalue").value = document.getElementById("temptext").value+document.getElementById("tempselect").options[document.getElementById("tempselect").selectedIndex].value;
}
