hi all

is this possible

if i have 2 forms on a page
<form>
<input type="text" name="form1" value="hello"/>
</form>

<form>
<input type="text" name="form2" value=form1/>
</form>

i want to put the value from form 1 into form 2 when the page is loaded. so when the page is in a broswer it'll have 2 input boxes both saying hello

can someone show me how to do this

You would require, some sort of programming language.

Javascript, Vbscript if you wanted to do it client side, or PHP or ASP if you wanted to do it server side.

There is no way it can be done using plain HTMl, other than writing the same thing on both forms manually.

it would be something like this:

<form name="form1" >
<input type="text" value="somevalue" name="textbox1">
</form>
<form name="form2">
<input type="text" name="textbox2" value"">
</form>

<script language="javascript">
document.form2name.textbox2name.value=document.form1name.textbox1name.value;
</script>

Hope this helps
