Text field manipulation question

I have 2 text boxes let's call them Text Box 1 and Text Box 2.
When someone enters text into Text Box 1, I want the text to appear in Text Box 2. I also want to change any spaces entered in Text Box 1 to change to dashes(-). I know how to make the text appear on Text Box 2 when someone types in text in Text Box 1 but I can't seem to figure out how to change spaces to dashes. Please let me know if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
 
Something like this in Textbox 1 (untested)
Code:
onkeydown="document.forms[formnamehere].elements['Textbox 2'].value = this.value.replace(/ /g, '-');"
