Hi all i am new to jQuery. Suppose I have two HTML text boxes. How can I make it happen that if I write in text box A then same value goes to textbox B and if I write in B then
This is quite easy:
$("#textBoxA").keyup(function(){
$("#textBoxB").val($("#textBoxA").val());
});
$("#textBoxB").keyup(function(){
$("#textBoxA").val($("#textBoxB").val());
});
A slightly more efficient way than the most upvoted answer is:
var $inputs = $(".copyMe");
$inputs.keyup(function () {
$inputs.val($(this).val());
});

Using Snicksie's method, you can see the live demo below. I have included a button to reset the textbox values as well.

This is a more dynamic way using jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".copyMe").keyup(function() {
$(".copyMe").val($(this).val());
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input class="copyMe" type="text" placeholder="Enter a text"/>
<input class="copyMe" type="text" />
<input class="copyMe" type="text" />
<input class="copyMe" type="text" />
You'll have to put a function call on each textbox's onchange
events, that will take the value of one box and put it in the other.
I ran into this challenge today. I made a small plugin to make the code more readable and to handle text inputs, but also select fe.
When you include the plugin, you can simply use $("selector").keepInSync($("otherselector"));
$.fn.keepInSync = function($targets) {
// join together all the elements you want to keep in sync
var $els = $targets.add(this);
$els.on("keyup change", function() {
var $this = $(this);
// exclude the current element since it already has the value
$els.not($this).val($this.val());
});
return this;
};
//use it like this
$("#month1").keepInSync($("#month2, #month3"));
$("#text1").keepInSync($("#text2"));
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h1>Two way sync</h1>
<select id="month1">
<option value="">Please select a moth</option>
<option value="jan">January</option>
<option value="feb">February</option>
<option value="mar">March</option>

<select id="month2">
<option value="">Please select a moth</option>
<option value="jan">1</option>
