This may be ok, I use onkeypress to disable the code Charlie used. He
is right though, jQuery would make this a bit slimmer. :)
I was about to hit send but... to be 100% anal, even this isn't
perfect. onkeypress will fire on ANY key press, so I may modify
profile name to add A and then delete A, and in theory I haven't
changed. I doubt you care about that though?
<input type="text" name="First_name" id="firstName"
onblur="fillProfile()"/><br/>
<input type="text" name="Last_name" id="lastName" onblur="fillProfile()" /><br/>
<input type="text" name="Profile_name" id="profileName"
onkeypress="disableIt()"/>
<script>
var doit=true
function disableIt() {
doit=false
}
function fillProfile() {
if (doit) {
document.getElementById('profileName').value =
document.getElementById('firstName').value +
document.getElementById('lastName').value;
}
}
</script>
