write within multiple textboxes

**yomoore** · 11-22-2010 04:18 PM

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to write(type) within two or more textboxes at the same time. So if I would write ''hello'' in textbox A, this word will show in al other textboxes (type input - not textarea).

Thanks

Something along this line ...

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Ditto TextBox</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
// For: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=238802

function Ditto(info) {
  document.getElementById('subText1').value = info;
  document.getElementById('subText2').value = info;
  document.getElementById('subText3').value = info;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Main entry: <input type="text" id="mainText" value="" onkeyup="Ditto(this.value)">
<p>
Text 1: <input type="text" id="subText1" value=""><br>
Text 2: <input type="text" id="subText2" value=""><br>
Text 3: <input type="text" id="subText3" value="">

</body>
</html>

Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for, except that all text boxes would do the same, so I changed your code in to this:

Code:

Text 1: <input type="text" id="subText1" value="" onkeyup="Ditto(this.value)"><br>
Text 2: <input type="text" id="subText2" value="" onkeyup="Ditto(this.value)"><br>
Text 3: <input type="text" id="subText3" value="" onkeyup="Ditto(this.value)">

But now I see the copy/paste function is not working. Is there a way to make that work? I think I would have to change the ''onkeyup'' but I'm not sure with what to replace it..Any help would be appreciated.

I don't understand. What copy/paste? Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V? Copy from and where to?

What browser are you using?

Works fine for me in FF between the 4 elements present in the script.

You'll need to be more descriptive of the problem for me to help.
