Poplulate fields from dropdown box

I have a dropdown box with 3 possible answers and I want to populate other fields with data depending on the answers to the dropdown box.

So there are 3 possible answers: and 3 possible data entries into fields.

Can someone give me a clue as how to start this script

You can use something like this as the drop-down's custom validation script:

if (event.value == "Option 1") {
this.getField("Text1").value = "Some text";

this.getField("Text2").value = "John";

this.getField("Text3").value = "Doe";
} else if (event.value == "Option 2") {
this.getField("Text1").value = "Some other text";

this.getField("Text2").value = "Michael";

this.getField("Text3").value = "Scott";

}

etc.

Edit: fixed an error in the code...
