Visual Force page help

I am trying to load values into VF input box based on the account selected from popup.

          <apex:pageBlockSectionItem id="pageblocksectionitem5">
         <apex:outputLabel value="Account Name"></apex:outputLabel>
         <apex:panelGroup style="border: 0px solid Blue;" > 
             <apex:outputPanel layout="inline" style="background-color:#CC0000; padding-left: 3px; position: absolute; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 2px; margin-right: 0px; height: 20px; border: 0px Red; " ></apex:outputPanel>                
             <input type="text" name="AccountName" id="Input12" style="margin-left: 5px; " /><img src="/s.gif" class="lookupIcon" onClick='window.open("/apex/xyz,"width=600,height=400,left=150,top=200,toolbar=1,status =1,");'/> 
         </apex:panelGroup>
     </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>

     <apex:pageBlockSectionItem id="pageblocksectionitem3">
          <apex:outputLabel value="Linea"></apex:outputLabel>
          <apex:outputLabel value="{!linea}"></apex:outputLabel>
      </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>

I need to populate linea from the custom field linea__c which is from Account object.. I can query to get the field value. But i need it to happen immediately after the account is selected. How can i do it?

Any pointers would be great...

Thanks

You'll need JavaScript actions... In fact probably best will be action and rerender attributes of most tags you'll see in the Visualforce Component Reference.

Please also have a look at this tutorial: http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php/Force.com_Tutorial:_An_Introduction_to_Visualforce, especially part above the "Tutorial: Web Applications In A Jiffy". Similar thing (restructured to form new Cookbook: http://developer.force.com/cookbook/recipe/using-ajax-in-a-visualforce-page)

Last but not least - the Visualforce Developer Guide documentation PDF might be interesting for you - the chapter about "Creating a Wizard" (page 98 in the PDF) will be a nice (but a bit too full blown) example.
