Updating values from form fields without refresh - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

Here is what I am looking to do....

I need to update a variable based on a form field input before submitting the form.

So if someone enters "Dog" into the field Favorite Animal, I need the variable All Pets to update and print with "Favorite: Dog" before they submit the field

I hope this makes sense, I know there are ways to do it but I am basically asking...what language is best to start to figure this out? Can I do it in ASP? I would believe Java would work?

If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Stephen

Easiest would be using JavaScript. Set an onchange (or something like that) event for the textbox.
