I have a listbox of parameter keywords. The users of the site (scientists) likely don't know exactly what each of the parameters mean - you can see them labelled as 'Property', the first item is called 'id'. Therefore, when the user opens the list box and hovers over any given property, it would be nice for the text next to 'Description' (currently 'Description Goes Here Depending on Parameter Selected') to change to the parameter description, which is stored in an SQL database next to each parameter name.

Can anyone give any indication on how to do this?

Many thanks

This would call for some JavaScript. Retrieve the descriptions from the database when you load the page. Then select the description to show based on the property you are selecting.
