By using the code seen below I am trying to produce a dynamic form. When the user selects an item for the product drop down menu I would like the product's barcode number to appear in the barcode box, I have been informed that this can be done using Javascript, however, I have never used this before.

I am also unsure on how to code the PHP insert command for this form which will insert all of this information into my back-end mySQL database, please not that addshopfloorcount.php as seen in the code below does not currently exist.

<form method="post" action="../php/addshopfloorcount.php">

The code for the whole form can be seen below. Any help which can be given will be much appreciated.

<form method="post" action="../php/addshopfloorcount.php">
          <table id="count" width="80%" border="1" class="table_text">
			  <tr>
			    <td colspan="4" class="table_text">Count Information:</td>
			  </tr>
			  <tr>
			    <td width="20%" align="center" >Count ID</td>
			    <td width="40%" align="center" >Department</td>
			    <td width="40%" align="center" >Username</td>
