Copy contents of one textbox to another
Suppose an entry is made in a textbox. Is it possible to retain the same entered text in a second text box? If so, how is this done?
<html>
<label>First</label>
<input type="text" name="n1" id="n1">
<label>Second</label>
<input type="text" name="n1" id="n1"/>
<开发者_JAVA百科;/html>
<script>
function sync()
{
var n1 = document.getElementById('n1');
var n2 = document.getElementById('n2');
n2.value = n1.value;
}
</script>
<input type="text" name="n1" id="n1" onkeyup="sync()">
<input type="text" name="n2" id="n2"/>
More efficiently it can be done as : For the one who will see the post now should use best practices of javascript.
<script>
function sync(textbox)
{
document.getElementById('n2').value = textbox.value;
}
</script>
<input type="text" name="n1" id="n1" onkeyup="sync(this)">
<input type="text" name="n2" id="n2"/>
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function copy()
{
var n1 = document.getElementById("n1");
var n2 = document.getElementById("n2");
n2.value = n1.value;
}
</script>
<label>First</label><input type="text" name="n1" id="n1">
<label>Second</label><input type="text" name="n2" id="n2"/>
<input type="button" value="copy" onClick="copy();" />
</html>
Well, you have two textboxes with the same ID. An Id should be unique, so you should prbably change this.
To set the value from one text box to another a simple call to getElementById()
should suffice:
document.getElementById("n1").value= document.getElementById("n2").value;
(assuming, of course you give your secodn text box an id of n2
)
Tie this up to a button click to make it work.
This worked for me and it doesn't use JavaScript:
<form name="theform" action="something" method="something" />
<input type="text" name="input1" onkeypress="document.theform.input2.value = this.value" />
<input type="text" name="input2" />
</form>
I found the code here
Use event "oninput". This gives a more robust behavior. It will also trigger the copy function when you copy paste.
You can this way also used copy contents of one textbox to another
function populateSecondTextBox() {
document.getElementById('txtSecond').value = document.getElementById('txtFirst').value;
}
<label>Write Here :</label>
<input type="text" id="txtFirst" onkeyup="populateSecondTextBox();" />
<br>
<label>Will be copied here :</label>
<input type="text" id="txtSecond" />
