I need help with formulating a mouse-down event for a form.

I have a form with a drop down menu with choices A, B, C, D.

Each drop down populates its own text into a list of text fields below it.

Below the list, I have another text field (Details) and I would like text (more detail) to populate based on a mousedown event for each item in the list. I just need help with this last step. The Tool Tip function won't work because the list populates with different information based on what's selected in the dropdown.

So when the user clicks into the text field you want to populate the Details field with specific information, depending on the value of the field they clicked into, basically?

Yes I think you have it.

When a user selects one of the drop-down choices, the information in the list might change.

For example, with Rental DP3 selected, field 1, column 1 says "Collapse" but if another drop-down is selected, it may say "Fire".

I want to be able to click on the listed fields and it show more details about what Collapse means, or what Fire means.

OK, then you can use something like this:

if (event.target.value=="Fire") this.getField("Details").value = "some info about fire";
else if (event.target.value=="Collapse") this.getField("Details").value = "some info about collapse"; // etc.
else this.getField("Details").value = "";
