Same text two different fields on one form

Question

HI.  I am trying to create button that allows me to copy text from one field to another on the same form.  In other words, at the top of my form i have a field for a "last name".  Under certain conditions i want to copy that "last name" into another field.  the button next to the latter field would ask "is the last name the same?"  if i hit that button then i want the text in the first field to import to the second field.  i think i need to use javascript but i can't write the asp.  help?

George,
These are the fields i want to copy.  Does the script look correct?
// Get the value of the fields
var v1 = getField("LENDER").valueAsString;
var v2 = getField("TRUSTEE").valueAsString;
var v3= getField("BORROWER").valueAsString;
var v4 = getField("DATED_3").valueAsString;
var v5 = getField("RECORDED_ 3").valueAsString;
// Set the values of the other corresponding fields
getField("LENDER_2").value = v1;
getField("TRUSTEE_2").value = v2;
getField("BORROWER_2").value = v3;
getField("DATED_4").value = v4;
getField("RECORDED_8").value = v5;
