Copy the shipping address fields to the billing address using a checkbox. Simple and easy to implement!

We have tested the code in IE6.0, Firefox1.5.0.4, Opera9.0, Netscape8.1 and AOL Explorer1.2. This script worked well in all platforms with no variations observed.

For Your Information For your Information:     Before we begin, we feel obligated to advise you that the above form is for all intensive purposes a "Stand Alone" script. In other words, it really does not do much of anything other than what you see. In order to make it function as designed, you need to incorporate it into a valid working form. If you do not have a good Solid Knowledge of HTML coding, javascripts, forms and reconfigurations, please "Do Not Attempt" this until you are Proficient in the aforementioned areas.

Depending on your knowledge of HTML and javascripts, this is an easy two (2) part copy and paste code that goes in both the <HEAD> and <BODY> sections of your document. It also makes use of an external .js script you need to save and upload into your directory then add a snipplet of code into the <HEAD> section to call the external.js file.

Warning Logo     Note Of Importance:     If you are not sure of howto make the external .js file and make use of it within your document, grab the below link and it is fully explained.
[ .js File Howto ]

For Your Information For your Information:     If you are not comfortable or prefer not to use the external.js file, you can use the traditional cut/copy and paste instead of the external .js file. If you need a little refresher on what is required to achieve this, grab the below link and it is fully explained.
[ Traditional Cut/Copy and Paste ]

Step One Depending on which of the above methods you have selected (external.js file or Traditional Copy/Cut & Paste), you will add either the snipplet of code (after you have uploaded the external.js file) into the <HEAD> section or the completed section of code that you added the opening and closing script tags.

Snipplet Of Code

<script type="text/javascript" src="copyFields.js">
</script>
Traditional Copy/Cut and Paste

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<HEAD> Section of code goes here

//  End -->
</script>
Arrow External .js file



Arrow Traditional Copy/Cut & Paste Code with opening & closing tags that you had to add into the <HEAD> section of code that was originally earmarked to be an external .js file.

If you would like to see an example of this effect using the "Traditional Cut/Copy & Paste" method, grab the below link and you are there. Examine our "Source" code (on the page you will be opening) to see how we had to reconfigure it to make it work. We have it very well documented for your convenience.

Step two Is to incorporate this effect into a functioning form located in the <BODY> section of the document.

On A Final Note     The last part of this tutorial is about where and howto add another parameter into this effect. In other words, add more than the default of two(2) fields that will be transposed into another field. Reason we want you to go to another page for this part is quite simple. The script that is calling the <HEAD> section of code is configured with two(2) fields as in our example with at the top of the page. If we reconfigure it for another parameter, it will show errors on the page because there is a conflict between the default and the reconfigured on the same page.
