Get Value from Drop Down Select Box

Ok so I am thinking of having the return value go to a hidden field then have jquery split the value from there into the two separate fields I want? Any thoughts?

Ok well since I couldn't get any help on here with this I went outside of here and got the answer. I though I would post it here just in case someone else needs it. This takes the value from a product drop box and splits into 2 different text fields. For example "Second Choice| 199" is split at the "|".

add_filter("gform_pre_render_3", "monitor_dropdown");
function monitor_dropdown($form){

?>
    <scr ipt type="text/java script">
function the_form(str,varr)
{
var n=str.split("|");
if(varr==1) return n[0]; else return n[1];
}
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#input_3_1').bind('change', function()
{
//get selected value from drop down;
var selectedValue = jQuery("#input_3_1").val();
//populate a text field with the selected drop down value
//this will populate it with the text part of the selected value
jQuery("#input_3_2").val(the_form(selectedValue,1));
jQuery("#input_3_3").val(the_form(selectedValue,2));
});
});
</script>
<?php

return $form;
}
