Combining data from two textboxes into one textbox

I'm using this calculation script:

event.value = this.getField("PREVO").value + " & " + this.getField("COPREVO").value;

is there a way to ensure that the & symbol doesn't appear when PREVO is blank? Or if I only have information in PREVO and not COPREVO?

var both="";
if(this.getField("PREVO").value && this.getField("COPREVO").value)
{both=" & "}
event.value = this.getField("PREVO").value + both + this.getField("COPREVO").value;

Thank you!! Is there a way to mess with my formatting on this by chance? I'm curious to know if I leave COPREVO blank, can I change the text size of PREVO?

Do you mean text size in the field that contains this calculation?
