jQuery Copy text field's value from a different form into another form's text field

Question

I have two forms.

I want to copy the value of one of the text fields in form 1 into another in form 2.

Text field names and ids are different.

How can I achieve this?

This didn't work:

document.getElementById('name').value = document.getElementById('user').value;

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you're asking for jQuery you could try:

$("#name").val($("#user").val());

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('#btn1').click(function()
    {
         $('#field2').val($('#field1').val());
    });
});
