Re: Fill another field, Javascript

There's as many ways to do this as there are developers. The answer in this case is yes, and...

You could also do this unobtrusively, with no need to mark anything up in the view.

//in the head
<script src="" type="text/_javascript_"></script>
<script type="text/_javascript_">
Event.observe(window,'load', function(){
       new Form.Element.Observer('print_name',
               0.3,
               function(elm,value){
                       $('i_name').value = value;
               }
       );
});
</script>

//in the body

<input id="print_name" name="print_name" type="text" />
<input id="i_name" name="i_name" type="text" />

This sets up an observer that watches the first element for any changes, and every 300 milliseconds updates the second element with the current value of the first.

Hi,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding all the kind help here.

Should a line like this work or do I need to call a function?

<input name="print_name" id="print_name" type="text" style="height:25px; width: 400px;" value="print_name" size="8" maxlength="32" = print_name.value" />

Hi Bob,

Hi,

On a form I wish to fill field2 with a value I am typing into field1.

I realize I can do this with an onclick but isn't there a way to , for instance do it with onreturn?
