Click a checkbox to copy content from one form field to another

Question

I am working on a form that will have 3 different sections — all with identical fields (“Attn”, “Company”, “ Address”, “City”, “State”, “Zip”, “Phone”, “Email”, etc). Each section may end up with different content, but may occasionally need to be the same. In this case, I would like the user to click a checkbox and have sections 2 & 3 auto-populate using the content from the fields in section 1. I am not versed in javascript, but I am hoping someone can give me a nudge in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Try this:if(event.target.value != "Off"){this.getField("Attn_2").value = this.getField("Attn").value;this.getField("Attn_3").value = this.getField("Attn").value;this.getField("Company_2").value = this.getField("Company").value;this.getField("Company_3").value = this.getField("Company").value;this.getField("Delivery Address_2").value = this.getField("Delivery Address").value;this.getField("Delivery Address_3").value = this.getField("Delivery Address").value;}

Lets say you have fields "Email1","Phone1" and "Email2","Phone2", as Mouse UP event of checkbox you can use script like this:

if(event.target.value != "Off"){
this.getField("Email2").value = this.getField("Email1").value;
this.getField("Phone2").value = this.getField("Phone1").value;}
