I can't figure out how to populate date from one textbox to another

This is my code:

$(function () {
    $("#newDepBirthDate").datepicker();
    $("#newDepBecameDep").datepicker();
    $("#newDepBirthDate").focusout(function(){
        $("#newDepBecameDep").val($("#newDepBirthDate").val());
        });
});

This does not work because when leaving a textbox the value is not there.

You're using the Datepicker from jQueryUI I assume? Use the onClose[^] method

Thank you so much this actually worked. That was perfect my complete code is this now:


    $(function () {
        $("#newDepBirthDate").datepicker({
            onClose: function() {
                $("#newDepBecameDep").val($("#newDepBirthDate").val());
            }
        });
        $("#newDepBecameDep").datepicker();
    });

After you selecting a date from the date-picker the input box does not get the focus, so when clicking on the other input box there is no focusout event on the first input...

Try this:

JavaScript

$(function () {
    $("#newDepBirthDate").datepicker();
    $("#newDepBecameDep").datepicker();
    $("#newDepBecameDep").focusin(function () {
        $("#newDepBecameDep").val($("#newDepBirthDate").val());
    });
});
