How to execute a selected statement?

List menu -- How to execute statement when item is selected?

• In Dreamweaver I have a list box or menu/list. I am dynamically adding data from an array into it, so when the page loads, I have a list-box with names in. This is how it looks <?php echo "<select name="."username"."id="."username".">"; foreach ($user_array as $arr) { echo "<option>$arr</option>"; } echo "</select>"; ?> Now how do I go about making the listbox executesomething when the user selects something in it? Because I have three other textboxes, and when the user selects a name in the list box, I want to put that name he selected into a variable (also don't know how I'm going to do that with a list box) and then search through my database and insert some of the data of that person in the textboxes. So all i need to know is: How to create that on event click event and How to put that selected value then in a variable (inside the event)
