I'm trying to get something to work for some text fields that transfer data from a number of fields into others if a checkbox or button is clicked. I initially had a button tag, but a couple of browsers would actually submit my form, so I changed it to a checkbox. Unfortunately, Safari does not assign the values to the respective text boxes. Anybody know a solution for this?

HTML Code:

<input type="checkbox" onClick="document.getElementById('bfname').value=document.getElementById('name1').value,
		document.getElementById('blname').value=document.getElementById('name2').value,
		document.getElementById('badd1').value=document.getElementById('add1').value,
		document.getElementById('bcity').value=document.getElementById('ucity').value,
		document.getElementById('bstate').value=document.getElementById('ustate').value,
		document.getElementById('bzip').value=document.getElementById('uzip').value">

Thanks in advance

You need to separate each statement with a semicolon ";" not a comma ",".

Code:

<input type="text" id="bfname"><br />
<input type="text" id="name1"><br />
<input type="text" id="blname"><br />
<input type="text" id="name2"><br />
<input type="text" id="badd1"><br />
<input type="text" id="add1"><br />
<input type="text" id="bcity"><br />
<input type="text" id="ucity"><br />
<input type="text" id="bstate"><br />
<input type="text" id="ustate"><br />
<input type="text" id="bzip"><br />
<input type="text" id="uzip"><br />

<input type="checkbox" onClick="document.getElementById('bfname').value=document.getElementById('name1').value;
		document.getElementById('blname').value=document.getElementById('name2').value;
		document.getElementById('badd1').value=document.getElementById('add1').value;
		document.getElementById('bcity').value=document.getElementById('ucity').value;
		document.getElementById('bstate').value=document.getElementById('ustate').value;
		document.getElementById('bzip').value=document.getElementById('uzip').value">

But that's a lot of assignments to place in the UI - better to put them in a script file or in script tag in the page.

i.e.

Code:

<input type="checkbox" onClick="doAssignments()">

I changed the commas to semicolons on the onclick event, but still no change while testing in Safari.

Do you know what event for what input types would work in Safari? Or if the above code should be working? I'm on PC using Safari 3.2.2

I ran that in Safari on a PC and it works.

As far as I know, all modern browsers implement getElementById().

Something's wrong on the page you're putting it on.

I think you should use that code for creating check box

Code:

<input type="checkbox" onClick="doAssignments()">
