I found javascript that allows this, however it only works if the fields are on the same page. I tried to use it on multiple pages and it did not work. Is there coding written I can use that will allow this across multiple pages?

It doesn't matter what page the fields are located. If it's not working for you there's a different issue.

Check the JS-Console for error messages.

Ok I went back to match the field names to exactly what is in the example (name1, name2) and it works on all pages. I think I need the rules to naming. My field is name First Name1, First Name2 and so on. Clearly the spacing is an issue, but is the problem the length?

The length of the field name? No, that doesn't matter, either. Spacing does

matter, though. The name in the script has to be EXACTLY the same as the

one in the field's Properties, including spaces, upper/lower-case letters,

etc.
