I'm trying to capture a person's current and permanent address.
If the current and permanent address are the same, it means there is no need to enter the same information twice. I'm using a checkbox to indicate that the addresses are the same.
If the checkbox gets checked, I would like to put the current address into the permanent address controls. How do I do that?
You can achieve this functionality in numerous ways with both Server Side code (C#) or with Client Side code (JavaScript or jQuery). Without seeing what you currently have built, it is hard to tell you what the best fit is... Below is a sample of how to populate a text box with data from another with the Check Box is checked...
C#protected void MyCheckBox_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.MySecondTextBox.Text = this.MyFirstTextBox.Text;
}
ASP<asp:TextBox ID="MyFirstTextBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:CheckBox ID="MyCheckBox" runat="server"
oncheckedchanged="MyCheckBox_CheckedChanged" />
<asp:TextBox ID="MySecondTextBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
C#protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.MyCheckBox.Attributes.Add("onClick", "CopyText()");
}
ASP<asp:TextBox ID="MyFirstTextBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:CheckBox ID="MyCheckBox" runat="server" />
<asp:TextBox ID="MySecondTextBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function CopyText() {
var txt2 = document.getElementById("<%= this.MySecondTextBox.ClientID %>");
txt2.value = document.getElementById("<%= this.MyFirstTextBox.ClientID %>").value;
}
</script>
garbage code samples I tend to use this to make sure my variables were correct, etc. I wouldn't deploy this code to anything other than a <pre> and <code> block on a stack overflow post :)Give Me The Code type of site. It is a Question and Answer platform and the above samples should be more than enough to get you started. If I was coding this, I'd probably have an address control of some kind and that control would have a "clone" or "copy" function to do just this..
