what you're looking for is JavaScript (forum216).

Yup you want javascript questions in the javascript forum.
Even though you are dealing with html inputs, the work of copying values is going to be done via javascript.
here you go.
I don't know the answer but my good friend Google does.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function copyval(){
document.getElementById("text2").value = document.getElementById("text1").value;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="myform">
<input type="text" id="text1" value="">
<input type="text" id="text2" value="">
</form>
<button onclick="copyval();">copy</button>
</body>
</html>I don't know the answer but my good friend Google does.
j4606, I think the OP is wanting something that will copy the information to the clipboard, not from one field to another.

[qoute]j4606, you know his question belongs in the javascript forum and that's why you decided to provide him with an answer here?[/quote]
My apologies. I guess I was too eager to provide users with help in exchange for purple lovin. I will try to keep on subject from now on. To my defense I had written my post before anyone else had and in my post i had directed him to the proper forum. Unfortunatly i was too slow to respond:<. I just didn't want to waste my effort so I posted my response anyway which originally had a possible solution and link to the javascript forum.
