set text input value onclick etc

[ukfusion]

Hi,

Its something stupidly simple but for some reason i cant find a straight forward cross browser solution.

I've got 2 sets of address fields and i want a tick box that when the user clicks it populates the 2nd lot of boxes with the values in the first.

I had it working in I.E ok using the following;

document.getElementById("inputid2").value=document.getElementById("inputid1").value;

But it doesn't seem to be working in chrome.....im guessing it must need referencing in a different way.

Does anyone have a straight forward cross browser method for setting various input values.

Thanks

do the input fields actually have an id?

I've actually just checked again and its not working at all(any browser)....the input definitely has an id set.

even this document.getElementById("fnameb").value="test";
doesnt work....fnameb is the id.

any reason why that wouldnt work?

I would need to see the page to make a qualified judgement.

If you have Chrome go to the little Wrench icon in the upper-right (Below the minimize / max / close buttons), then go to Tools, then Javascript Console. It'll give you error messages there, and if it helps you great, if not it could help us help you.

Oh and posting your exact code would help too, or link.
