function isn't working for some reason! =(

[PrinceMhul]

var objListBox = document.getElementById('catalist');
var val = objListBox[objListBox.selectedIndex].value;
var txt = dyevalue00.value;
document.getElementById(val).value = txt;

To explain real quick, this is for a character maker.
The "catalist" is a listbox with different values such as "Body1" -
"Head" - "Shoes" - "Hair" etc
"dyevalue00" is a textbox
I have many textboxes that are named the same as the "catalist" values
(like textboxes named Body1 - Head - Shoes - Hair - etc..

So whatever is selected in "CataList" (let's say Hair) I want that
textbox to equal what another textbox of mine equals. So if the
selected value on CataList is "hair", then I want the textbox that has
the id of "hair" to equal whatever is inside the textbox with the id of
"dyevalue00".

I must be doing something wrong in my code, since this is n't working.
UseNet rocks so I know someone out there will know

What does "isn't working" mean? Are you getting an unexpected
value in the text box? An error message? Nothing happening?

The two alert() lines will help you to pin down whether the problem
is in finding out where to put the value, or in finding what value
to put there. Then you can look to see what's different between
the way you access the control named "catalist" and the control
named "dyevalue00".

What I mean by it isn't working is it isn't doing what I intended it to
do. Since I'm new at javascript, everything I do is trial and error.
And if I error too much, I post on here - lol.

What I really need is a way to make it so that if the selected index on
listbox1.value="text1" then I can make the textbox named "text1" (which
text1 is from the listbox.value) equal another textbox's value.

Not sure how to do that though
