The quick & dirty way is something like this...
1. Add an onchange event handler to the start date field to call a JS
function.
onchange="copy_start_to_end();"
2. Write the JS function, either in application.js or in your view.
Something like this:
function copy_start_to_end() {
if ($F('end_date').blank()) { // only copy start if end is blank
$('end_date').value = $F('start_date');
}
}
I haven't tested it, but this should be pretty close. This assumes
you're using Prototype JS.
