dynamic dropdown box

[eluser]snowstar[/eluser]
Hi all,

i've been using ci for awhile now. This is first time i havent found what i've been looking for via google or the forums so i decided to make a post.

I'm currently working on a dynamic invoice but i'm stuck in one area.

I'm trying to make a drop down box (which select values contain populated info in db) on select of one option will auto complete two other input fields with information associated with that value i.e user selects product name and product's description and price are fulled out in the other two input fields.

Apart from the above, i've got the rest working.

Could some one point me in the right direction? i think this could be achieved with Ajax how-ever i havent touched ajax before.

Much appreciated
