Thanks much Matthew and Bobby! The script works as I wanted. I need it to override whatever the user puts in there when the check the box and clear the fields when unchecked.

What do I add to this code so that when I uncheck the box the values disappear as well?? -----Original Message----- From: Orlini, Robert Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 3:49 PM To: 'cf-talk@houseoffusion.com' Subject: RE: JavaScript Autofill Perfect Matthew. Thanks. Got to brush up more on JavaScript. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Walker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 3:35 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: JavaScript Autofill You have two fields with the id "lname". Generally, you should only use an id once per page. That JavaScript hurts my eyes so I haven't bothered trying to understand it. Are you trying to copy a set of values from a set of hidden fields to a set of visible fields? Something like this is low tech but very easy to understand.... <script> function copyData() { document.getElementById('field1').value = document.getElementById('default1').value; document.getElementById('field2').value = document.getElementById('default2').value; document.getElementById('field3').value = document.getElementById('default3').value; } </script> <form> <input type="hidden" id="default1" value="Spare"> <input type="hidden" id="default2" value="Spare"> <input type="hidden" id="default3" value="Spare"> <input type="checkbox" onclick="if ( this.checked ) copyData()"> Field 1: <input name="field1" type="text" id="field1"> Field 2: <input name="field2" type="text" id="field2"> Field 3: <input name="field3" type="text" id="field3"> </form> -----Original Message----- From: Orlini, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 22 November 2005 9:01 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: JavaScript Autofill I have a JavaScript that I hoped would autofill some fields when a user clicks a checkbox, but it doesn't. I will admit I not a JavaScript programmer and copied and tweaked some code. The bold areas I edited to try to make it work but autofilling with the word "spare", but it doesn't do anything. Anyone can help here please? Thanks in advance. <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function setname(box) { var f = box.form, b_which = box.checked, from_el, to_el, i = 0; var fld_name = new Array('lname'); while (from_el = f[fld_name[i]]) { to_el = f[fld_name[i++]]; to_el.value = b_which ? from_el.value : ''; if (to_el.readOnly != null) to_el.readOnly = b_which ? true : false; else to_el.onfocus = b_which ? function() {this.blur(); } : null; } } </script> <form> <input name="lname" type="hidden" id="lname" value="Spare"> <input type="checkbox" name="spare" onclick="setname(this)"> Name: <input name="lname" type="text" id="lname"> </form> Robert O. at HWW -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
