anyway to do this without post back to server

Hi I have a dropdown box with entries like

AY Activity Yellow
AB Activity Blue
AR Activity Red

This dropdown is followed by two text boxes and when the user selects AY I
would like to display the following in the text boxes

txbx1 [AY] txbx2 [Activity Yellow]
for AB Activity Blue
txbx1 [AB] txbx2 [Activity Blue]
So I am just spliting the string and displaying portions in each text box.
I was just wondering if there is a way to do this without posting back the
server on the dropdown SelectedIndexChanged event?
Thanks

yes, its simple javascript.



then in codebehind:

myDropDowm.Attributes["onchange"] = "doDropChange(this)";

Thanks it works. For the code behind I used
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
this.dropdown.Attributes["onchange"] = "doDropChange(this)";
}
