Behavior: Set Text of Text Field

Question

I have an onclick event that sets the value of a form element
to "Hi there" using the Set Text of Text Field behavior. Works
great. The reference book I have says you can also place valid
JavaScript code in the box that appears by placing it in brackets {
}. Anyone done this?
What I am trying to do is to set the value of field2 to the
value of field1 by using code like this:
{document.form1.field2.value = document.form1.field1.value}
Of course, can't get it to work

Answer 1

Something like this
<input type="text" name="field1"
onchange="this.form.field2.value=this.value" />
<input type="text" name="field2" />
This will update field2 to field1's value when you tab out of
the field - or
you can alter onchange to onkeyup to have field2 updated as
you type into
field1
Cheers,
Jon
