<form id="form">
<select name="test" id="test">
<option id="op1" value="1">1234</option>
<option id="op2" value="2">2134</option>
</select>
</form>
</div>
<div id="st">
<form name="settings">
Op1 Value<input />

</form>
</div>

You would definitely do this with JavaScript. The only question is whether you need to retrieve information from the server, in which case you would need to use an AJAX solution and get information back from the server. Otherwise, however, you are absolutely fine with just some simple JavaScript.

If i understand your question correctly it appears you want to change the value of an option from a text box.

If you give the input box an id, you could do the following:

$("#inputOpt1").change(function(){
  $("#op1").val($(this).val());
});

Example of this on jsfiddle.

Mark is correct, you can also use the focusout() jquery function if you want the data to update when the use clicks out of the input box.
