Hi guys, Man, had to search for ages to find this solution :)
I would add that I couldn't get the proposed solution to work using: "onSuccess: function(transport) { $('cust_city').value = transport.responseText; }, " After looking up the Prototype site and the Ajax.Request function here: http://www.prototypejs.org/api/form/element/getValue I had to adapt the onSuccess function to this: onSuccess: function(transport) { var frm = $('formname'); var room = frm['room']; $(room).value = transport.responseText;} Small change, but caused a lot of frustration to find.
