You can do this using JavaScript. For example:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addText(myform){
// get the ID of the text box
// use document.myform.options[document.myform.myitem.selectedIndex].value
// to resolve text to insert
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform">
<select name="myitem" onChange="javascript:addText()">
<option value="item1">Item #1</option>
<option value="item2">Item #2</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Don't try it as it's not tested. It's the idea that counts.

PS - Please don't make corrections, guys. It's just a rough example...
