Populating a text field from responses in Dropdown

Question

Hello,I realize there are many posts like this one and this is a pretty common question, but it seems like each situation requires a different approach. I want a paragraph to be filled out using choices made from a drop-down list of Ed codes. For Example:If the drop down selection is:  Section 48900 Subdivision(c) Then I want a Text Filed to popluste with "Unlawfully possessed, used, sold, or otherwise furnished, or been under the influence of, a controlled substance listed in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11053) of Division 10 of the Health and Safety Code, an alcoholic beverage, or an intoxicant of any kind."and if  the drop down selection is:  Section 48900 Subdivision(d) Then I want a Text Filed to popluate with " Unlawfully offered, arranged, or negotiated to sell a controlled substance listed in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11053) of Division 10 of the Health and Safety Code, an alcoholic beverage, or an intoxicant of any kind, and either sold, delivered, or otherwise furnished to a person another liquid, substance, or material and represented the liquid, substance, or material as a controlled substance, alcoholic beverage, or intoxicant." I have more Ed codes to add but I started now with only 2 I appriecate yoru help to figure this outBest,Dan

Use this as 'Validate' script of dropdown field (add more conditions before last 'else'):

if(event.value == "48900 subdivision(c)")
this.getField("Text2").value = "Unlawfully possessed, used, sold, or otherwise furnished, or been under the influence of, a controlled substance listed in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11053) of Division 10 of the Health and Safety Code, an alcoholic beverage, or an intoxicant of any kind.";

else if(event.value == "48900 subdivision(d)")
this.getField("Text2").value = "Unlawfully offered, arranged, or negotiated to sell a controlled substance listed in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11053) of Division 10 of the Health and Safety Code, an alcoholic beverage, or an intoxicant of any kind, and either sold, delivered, or otherwise furnished to a person another liquid, substance, or material and represented the liquid, substance, or material as a controlled substance, alcoholic beverage, or intoxicant."

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