Javascript to populate controls without postback

[MattB]

I've got a web form (asp.net 1.1, vb.net) that has controls for a user
to enter their height and weight in either English or Metric units. I'd
like to be able to populate the metric control when the English changes
as well as the converse.
I have used javascript previously to do little things like blank out a
password field when it's clicked on or raise an alert when a button is
clicked by using Control.Attributes.Add().
Now I'd like to have one control's event populate another control and
I'm not sure how to do that.

Anyone got any suggestions or better yet, examples of this kind of stuff
I can look at?

Thanks!

Matt

asp.net 1.1 controls don't have builtin support for client script. you have
to look at the html rendered and then determine how to hook events or change
values. this is improved in version 2.0

if you don't know the browser dom, you should buy a book.

The onBlur event is used to call a JavaScript function when a control has
lost its focus.

ControlName.Attribute.Add("onBlur", "unitConversion(param)");
