Morningz,

That's exactly what it was, I took out the pound sign and it work perfectly!

Thanks mate, I appreciate the help.

that example above was totally off the top of my head to try to point
you the way

i do quickly see one issue with it though

   var obj = document.getElementById("#customer");

should not have the "#" sign

   var obj = document.getElementById("customer");

The reason I can't do this is because the
9c335820-d878-4db3-b90a-728046cb8849 isn't the ID of the customer which is
ultimately what I need when I submit the form, so this has to stay as the
numeric ID value. The link which changes is just a usability thing to allow
my users to quickly check the background of the customer before they submit
the form, but to check the background I need their company_id, which is why
we need the key:value pair.

Is the key:value pair complicated to implement into your above example? I
understand the code you've provided but wouldn't really know where to start
enhancing it.

Thanks for your advice mate, I appreciate it.

Morningz,

As another little note, I was testing your example code this morning but I
get an 'Object Required' error thrown by it, any ideas what might be causing
this? I definitely have the HTML elements with the correct ID's present on
the page, any other thoughts?

Don't worry about the key:value pair side of things as I can probably solve
that little challenge with some Server Side scripting which will be more
robust.

If we can get the error resolved the example you've given should give me
exactly what I need :-)

Thanks,

Robert

Why wouldn't you just have


Joe
Bloggs
Dave
Something






$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#customer").change(SetLink);
  SetLink();
});
function SetLink() {
   var obj = document.getElementById("#customer");
   obj = obj.options[obj.selectedIndex];
   $("#CompanyLink")
.attr("href", '/view_customer_company.cfm?company_id='
+ obj.value)
.html('View ' + obj.text + ' Company');
}





deeming the key/value lookup unnecessary?
