Copy information from one part of a form to another

#1 July 19th, 2005, 09:56 AM

I have a form that has a place for "Customer" and "CO-Customer" information.

I want to put a button by the CO-Customer section that will copy the Address
information from the Customer.

Do I have that button be a Submit button that posts the information back to
the form and the writes it?

Posting back is an option, but I would say that client-side code is probably
more commonly used. Either that or just use a checkbox that lets the user
select "same address" or something and leave it at that.

Hi,

You could do this easily using a JavaScript function, on the client side. Just on click of the button fire the JS function which copies the content from one form field to another. If u need any more help tell me, i can write u the code.

Don't go server side for this. Check a Javascript group, there's
plenty of code snippets for this type of thing. An alternate would be
a DHTML setup, with hidden/unhidden code or the like.

Bhaskardeep,

I would not even know where to start doing this.

It would be great if you could offer me some
more help.

How about allowing the user to leave the CO-Customer address blank? This
is a common implementation on commerce sites. Billing address is
required (for credit card authentication) and you only need to provide a
shipping address if it's different from your billing address. Just a
thought. YMMV
