I have a form that requests 2 separate addresses (addr1,addr2,city,state,and zip fields). As a user enters keyboard strokes into the street address field, I'd like it to also populate the street address field for the second street address area. The user should be allowed to modify the second. This will save them keystrokes when the address locations are the same. Is there a javascript class that will allow me to do this? Thanks!

You can try something like this. The user can modify the 2nd address and it won't affect the first. However, take note that if the user goes back to modify address1 after they have modified address2 then it will overwrite their changes to address2.

Code:
<html>
<body>
<form name=blahForm>
<input type=text name=text1 onkeyup='blahForm.text2.value = this.value'>Address1<br>
<input type=text name=text2>Address2
</form>
</body>

Ya know, I'd really be more likely to add a "Same as Above" button to my second Address set... click it and copy the whole shootin' match to the second set of fields. Then edit to your heart's content. Neither field set is specifically "tied" to the other, but when you want to copy the info, simply click the copy button.
As a user, I would be distracted or confused by the characters popping into two fields at once.
Plus, there's alot less script-activity when you don't have to check every keystroke.
Just my two cents.
