Hello,

I would like to enter text into an input field, hit the TAB key and auto-populate another field based on the value of the input field. Is there a way to do that any javascript?

Thanks for all of your help

<i>
</i>&lt;input type="text" onkeypress="getTheKey(event,this)" value="hit tab after focus"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;input type="text" id="something" value=""&gt;

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function getTheKey(){
var daKey=(typeof event=='undefined')?arguments[0].keyCode:event.keyCode;
if(daKey==9){//tab
copyContents(arguments[1])
}
return true
}

function copyContents(t){
document.getElementById("something").value=t.value
}
&lt;/script&gt;

I left 'em out on purpose so you can see my active code more clearly and also cas' someone is a bit lazy to add 'em all in.

Charles, wanna do the honors? ?
