Hi, 
 So I have an input field :<b>To: </b> <apex:inputfield value="{!q.contactid}"/><p/>

and in my controller, I have:
public Quote q {get;set;}

and then I would like to present the email address in this outputfield: <b>NAME: </b> <apex:outputtext value="{!q.contact.name}"/><p/> 

However this is not working, Please help: 
Below is my VF page:  
<apex:page standardController="Quote" extensions="email_class">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Email Details" id="ed">
            <b>To: </b> <apex:inputfield value="{!q.contactid}"/><p/>
         <apex:actionSupport event="onchange"  action="{!Contactpopulated}" rerender="ed"/>      
               <b>NAME: </b> <apex:outputtext value="{!q.contact.email}"/><p/> 
.......
.......

and my extension: 
public class email_class{
        
    Public string ToAddresses {get;set;}
    Public string CCAddresses {get;set;}
    Public string quoteId {get;set;}
    Public string subject {get;set;}
    public string email_body {get;set;}
    public string emailTo {get;set;}
    public string emailCC {get;set;}
   public Quote q {get;set;}
   // public Contact ct {get;set;}
     public  string [] ccaddress; 
       
        public email_class(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
                quoteId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id');
              Quote  q= (Quote)controller.getRecord();
    }

             public void Contactpopulated(){
       q.contact=[ Select  email, name From contact where  id=:q.contactid limit 1]; 
}

Hi Sammy,

Wrap the action support in inputfield tag as like below,
  
​<apex:inputfield value="{!quote.contactid}"><p/> 
<apex:actionSupport event="onchange" action="{!Contactpopulated}" rerender="ed"/> 
​</apex:inputfield>
