I’ve searched through google and have found things similar, but nothing for what I need. Most of the tut’s were far more advanced than what I needed.

So, anyone know some JS that will copy text from textfield1 to textfield2?

Thanks!

I’m a bit of a framework guy, here’s the mootools answer:

```auto

$('textfield2').setProperty('value',$('textfield1').getValue());

```
