Hiya

I’m trying to change this particular html page I have, which contains an editable textbox. I want to add underneath it a drop down menu with separate options, like:  
-Template 1  
-Template 2

and selecting one would update the contents of the editable textbox to something I specify (eg TEXT 1 ; TEXT 2) but leave the textbox & newly contained text as editable…

To tell you the truth I’m completely lost on this one!

cheers
