Hi,

I have 2 textboxes.

As soon as I write something in one textbox, it should be displayed on the other textbox, as we see in typing master.

How would this happen and on which event of the first textbox the code should be written.

I didn't find any such event.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    function test(){
    //alert("test");
    var htText=document.getElementById("TextBox1");
    var seText=document.getElementById("TextBox2");
    seText.value=htText.value;
    }
    </script>

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" onkeypress="test()"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

Hi,

you just need to subscribe to the TextChanged Event of the first text box. Then in the event handler:

private void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text;
}

Alternatively you can use the KeyPress event!
