I can't think off the top of my head why this would be a problem. Are you trying to include additional fields in what gets copied? Or are you seeing some other error?

I haven't done this yet, but you should just need to add the lines to the javascript code. First find out which fields you want to copy and to where. A good way to do this is to look at the page's source code. Here are two sample methods that should both work:

Code:

// get additional fields by their id

var addField2 = document.getElementById('additional_values_2')

var addField3 = document.getElementById('additional_values_3')

addField2.value = addField3.value

Code:

// values from numbered form elements

form.elements[5].value = form.elements[6].value

The first example uses the id parameter of the input field. Mine looks like this:

Code:

<INPUT type="text" name="additional_values[2]" id="additional_values_2" size="32">

The second example gets the value by explicitly identifying which input element in the form has the value. You have to count the form elements starting with 0 to find this. It might take some trial and error and maybe using alert(form.elements[5].name) to help you identify the field you are trying to use.

thank you, i dont know why i didnt think of that

so this is what i ended up with in copybilling.js

Code:

function InitSaveVariables_shipping(form){ 

additional_values_5 = form.additional_values_5.value; 

additional_values_6 = form.additional_values_6.value; 

s_address = form.s_address.value; 

s_address_2 = form.s_address_2.value; 

s_city = form.s_city.value; 

s_state = form.s_state.value; 

_s_state = document.getElementById('_s_state').value; 

s_country = form.s_country.value; 

s_zipcode = form.s_zipcode.value; 

} 



function copybilling(form){ 

if (form.copyb.checked){ 

InitSaveVariables_shipping(form); 

form.additional_values_5.value = form.additional_values_2.value; 

form.additional_values_6.value = form.additional_values_3.value; 

form.s_address.value = form.b_address.value; 

form.s_address_2.value = form.b_address_2.value; 

form.s_city.value = form.b_city.value; 

form.s_country.value = form.b_country.value; 

form.s_zipcode.value = form.b_zipcode.value; 

change_states(document.getElementById('s_country'), 's_state', 'State/Province', '', '', '', ''); 

form.s_state.value = form.b_state.value; 

document.getElementById('_s_state').value = document.getElementById('_b_state').value; 

} 



else { 

   form.additional_values_5.value = ""; 

   form.additional_values_6.value = ""; 

   form.s_address.value = ""; 

   form.s_address_2.value = ""; 

   form.s_city.value = ""; 

   form.s_country.value = form.b_country.value; 

   form.s_zipcode.value = ""; 

   change_states(document.getElementById('s_country'), 's_state', 'State/Province', '', '', '', ''); 

   form.s_state.value = form.b_state.value; 

   document.getElementById('_s_state').value = ""; 

   } 

}

I successfully implemented this in a 4.0.14 store that I did. But I am now doing another store, and it's in 4.0.17. I wasn't able to simply copy the same stuff over and get everything to work correctly. Having the name copied to the billing part works fine, but when I check the box to move the billing fields into the shipping fields, I get an error. It unfortunately doesn't give me much to go on, on where to troubleshoot.

So, has anyone successfully get this to work in v4.0.17 ? Or, I guess more importantly, what has changed between versions that I might be able to rework this myself?

***EDIT***
I went back into my store with Friefox and enabled the Javascript Console. It gives me a detailed error message now:

Error: document.getElementById("_s_state") has no properties
Source File: http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/skin1/copybilling.js
Line: 10

In the copybilling.js file, this is line 10:
_s_state = document.getElementById('_s_state').value;

I have copied and pasted the javascript I am using from redlime's example.

Thanks!

Has anyone tried to get this working with the County field? Country works fine, but County is giving me problems. Not sure what to do.

This mod rocks :)

Also can do a onblur if needed. I didn't want a check box so I removed the checkbox and ran a little onblur js function to copy each field as the user enters it...Probably not useful for most stores, but very much needed for mine :)

Hello, I tried to sort thru all the snippets of code to try to get this working for x-cart gold v4.0.18 but no luck.

Can somebody who's using this mod on v4.0.18 help on what needs to be done and where? Thank You.
