If you are using jQuery, it is very easy - you need just register the right function on the right event :)

Here's the code:

<input id="foo" />

    var $bar = $('#bar');
    function onChange() {
        $bar.val($foo.val());
    };
    $('#foo')
        .change(onChange)
        .keyup(onChange);
});

Try something like:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#field_1').on('change', function (e) {
       $('#field_2').val($('#field_1').val());
    });
});
