I have this form where I pass select values to an input field. Is it possible to pass this results in to a td instead of an input field?

here is the code

a table cell is like any other block element in regards to what you are talking about... I think..

Just like you would set the innerHTML of a div or span, you can set the innerHTML of a table cell (<td>);
Alternatively (and some would argue more correctly) you could get a table cell by id and append a text node with a value...

If I am totally off base for what you are asking, maybe give a little more clarification?

You can see in the code how the jquery is saying that where there is an input:text it will feed the value result based on an ID. instead of input:text I will like to use span and present those results in a table

I see you got it working, good. You could go even simpler probably and just

$("select").click(function () {
    $(this).closest("td").next("td").html($(this).val());
});

I needed to pass the values to a table below the drop down boxes here is the final product

The problem is that in my actual page I have three sets of drop down areas. The problem is that the selections are not placing in the correct td. Im stuck with this one
