update text field based on value in another text field

[optjco]

Can I update the value in a textfield by checking the value in another field. I have the code below but I get an internal error message when i try to run the page

<%
txtCause=Request.Form("txtCause")
txtStatus=Request.Form("txtStatus") 
	If txtCause.value > 0 Then
	txtStatus = "Pending"
	Else
	txtStatus = "Outstanding"
	%>
	<%
	End If
  End If
%>

You have two "End If"s, when you only need one.

Genimuse,
changed my code to this

<%
TCause=Request.Form("txtCause")
TStatus=Request.Form("txtStatus") 
    If TCause.value >0 Then
    TStatus = "Pending"
    Else
    TStatus = "Outstanding"
    End If
%>

Now i get

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'

Object required: '[string: "TCause"]'

/NC/Pending.asp, line 56

Any ideas please

Yes, TCause is just a variable, not an object, so it has no properties (.value would be a property). Instead just put If TCause > 0 Then

Thanks for that, just one other question if you don't mind

I have set the value of txtStatus to

<%=TStatus%>

which is fine when I load the form but how can i refresh the field after I have added text to the other 2 fields ??
so that txtStatus shows the new value

You could use Javascript on the client-side to move the value(s) rather then processing it server-side with ASP. Maybe use the onChange event or onKeyUp event on your initial box to feed the value to your secondary input, something like:

<input type="text" name="txtBox1" onChange="document.getElementsByName('txtBox2')[0].value=this.value;">
<input type="text" name="txtBox2">

or

<input type="text" name="txtBox1" onKeyUp="document.getElementsByName('txtBox2')[0].value=this.value;">
<input type="text" name="txtBox2">

or something like that.
