I'm cleaning up a simple form that has a Start Date textbox and an End Date textbox. I want to add a checkbox in between these fields that the user can check if the End Date is the same as the Start Date, so when they check it, the Start Date input value (e.g., 04/01/09) will automagically appear in the End Date textbox, so they don't have to type in the same date twice. Does that make sense?
BTW, I'm using the sexy jquery datepicker UI, and it's sweet, but I just can't figure out the above problem.
I know there's a simple solution (event handler?) but I'm stumped.

All one need to do is to bind keyup event on textbox and then copy textbox value to another textbox. Below jQuery code will copy text from txtFirst and copy it to txtSecond. $(document). ready(function() { $('#txtFirst').
You can write a javascript function to copy value from one textbox into the other textbox, and call the same function on “onclick” event of the checkbox. Same function can be used to clear the textbox on unchecking the checkbox.
jQuery val() method is used to get the value of an element. This function is used to set or return the value. Return value gives the value attribute of the first element. In case of the set value, it sets the value of the attribute for all elements.
With jQuery, you can use the . val() method to get the value of the Value attribute of the desired input checkbox.
Try this code:
$("#checkboxId").click(copyDate);
function copyDate()
{
var start=$("#startDate").val();
if (this.checked==true)
$("#endDate").val(start);
}
Replace the 'id's with your own field ids.

Simple hack to solve your problem.
<html>
<head>
<script src="js/jquery.js" ></script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="startdate" id="startdate" value=""/>
<input type="text" name="enddate" id="enddate" value=""/>
<input type="checkbox" name="checker" id="checker" />
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input#checker").bind("click",function(o){
if($("input#checker:checked").length){
$("#enddate").val($("#startdate").val());
}else{
$("#enddate").val("");
}
});
}
);
</script>
</body>
</html>
