Have you got your current code for us to have a look at?

I have no code right now because I dont know how to embed the javascript code into an aspx page that is using code behind forms. i know how to do it in classic asp but its totally different in asp.net.

Im new to asp.net too, but I have written all my client side code in the html view of the aspx page and got away with it. The code behind is mainly for server side code.

You can attach events to server controls like so:

txtMyTextBox.Attributes.Add("onclick","YourJSFunctionHere()");

You can use this to add any number of attributes to any server control of any type. A very useful method, indeed.

there are a couple of ways.

[tt]Page.RegisterStartUpScript()[/tt] will embed JS on the form and execute it on the load event.

[tt]Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock()[/tt] will embed JS on the form, but you need to call the function for it to execute.

You can add attributes to controls to add the javascript funtions. Example [tt]MyTextBox.Addtributes.Add("onblur","MyJavascriptFunction();")[/tt]

You can also link javascript files in the header
[tt]<script src=[relative path of file] language="javascript" id="JS"></script>[/tt]

try this on your form

TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onKeyDown", "document.getElementByID('" & TextBox2.ClientID & "').Value = document.getElementByID('" & TextBox1.ClientID & "').Value;" )
