Populating Text fields from dropdown choice

I have a table that I loop through to populate a dropdown list and I want to populate text fields with data based on what the user selects from the dropdown menu. The data I want to output in the textfields is not the same as the value set in the option fields, but does correspond with that row. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function AssigntoTextBox(dropDown) {
dropDown.parentNode.parentNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].value = dropDown.value;
}
</script>

</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="tbName" />

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlName" onchange="AssigntoTextBox(this)" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>AAA</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>BBB</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>CCC</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

</div>
</form>
</body>

It worked for me. What I did was, I had a drop down to a page and a text box. Now when ever a user changes the selection on the drop down that value will be apperead on the textbox. Are you looking something like this right?

Not exactly; when the user selects from the dropdown menu. The data I want to output in the textfields is not the same as the value set in the option fields, but does correspond with that row.
