I need to copy the text entered in a field (whether it was typed in, pasted or from browser auto-filler) and paste it in another field either at the same time or as soon as
Try something like:
$(document).ready(function () { $('#field_1').on('change', function (e) { $('#field_2').val($('#field_1').val()); }); });
Heres a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/otwk92gp/
