function isn't working for some reason! =(

var objListBox = document.getElementById('catalist');
var val = objListBox[objListBox.selectedIndex].value;
var txt = dyevalue00.value;
document.getElementById(val).value = txt;

To explain real quick, this is for a character maker.
The "catalist" is a listbox with different values such as "Body1" -
"Head" - "Shoes" - "Hair" etc
"dyevalue00" is a textbox
I have many textboxes that are named the same as the "catalist" values
(like textboxes named Body1 - Head - Shoes - Hair - etc..

So whatever is selected in "CataList" (let's say Hair) I want that
textbox to equal what another textbox of mine equals. So if the
selected value on CataList is "hair", then I want the textbox that has
the id of "hair" to equal whatever is inside the textbox with the id of
"dyevalue00".

I must be doing something wrong in my code, since this is n't working.
UseNet rocks so I know someone out there will know

What I mean by it isn't working is it isn't doing what I intended it to
do. Since I'm new at javascript, everything I do is trial and error.
And if I error too much, I post on here - lol.

What I really need is a way to make it so that if the selected index on
listbox1.value="text1" then I can make the textbox named "text1" (which
text1 is from the listbox.value) equal another textbox's value.

Not sure how to do that though
