Is there any PHP code that will let a user click a button and it will copy the contents of a input field form to another input field? Ian

PHP is a serversided scripting language, so you'll need the form input to be send to the server to make a copy of the input. More easily it can be done with javascript. I have included an example: <script type="text/javascript"> function CopyInput(form) { form.copied.value = form.original.value; } </script> <form action="blabla" method="post"> <input type="text" name="original" size="10"> <input type="text" name="copied" size="10"> <input type="button" name="copy" value="Copy fields" onClick="CopyInput(this.form)"> </form>

Yep, it's very important to understand the difference between server-side and client-side scripting. If you want things to happen on the web-browser (as described) as an immediate result of something else that has happened on the web-browser, you need client-side scripting (i.e. javascripts) If you're interested in SMS, visit my wife's site .

Thanks for that, I knew about java being able to do it, but the code given will help me lots. Was more keen to stay away from java, but seeing that it is only a form for webmasters to add a link to my site, they will 90% have java enabled or at least know hot to enable it! Thank once again. Ian

small point: java is not the same thing as javascript two very different languages with different purposes

Yes, cheers for that Don.... Now I think about it, you are spot on.....meant to say Javascript! Ian Sanlucar de Barrameda
