<?php

Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript(CClientScript::POS_READY, '

$("#dropdown").change(function(){

   $("#textfield").val($("#dropdown").val())

})');

I haven’t tested this code, but I’m pretty sure this will set the value of the textfield with the one of the dropdownlist whenever you change the latter.

Make sure you replace all #IDs with corresponding ones.

You have to implement an action to receive ajax request and perform the desired manipulation. You can replace the read-only input value with the output of this action, once ajax has it.
