Greetings experts of Codeproject.

I have a task to copy the contents of one textbox into another textbox.

The following works by adding to value of textbox1 one to textbox2:

<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery_min.js">
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#button").click(function(){
var ravi=$("#text2").val();
 $("#text1").val(Testing);
 });
 });
 </script>

 </head>
  <body>
 <input type="text" value="Testing" id="text">
 <input type="text" id="text1">
 <input type="button" value="Copy" id="button">
  </body>
  </html>

However, is it possible to do this without manually putting the value of textbox1 in the javascript?

What I have tried:

This is what I have tried so far:

<pre><html>
<head>
<script src="jquery_min.js">
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#button").click(function(){
var ravi=$("#text2").val();
 $("#text1").val(Testing);
 });
 });
 </script>

 </head>
  <body>
 <input type="text" value="Testing" id="text">
 <input type="text" id="text1">
 <input type="button" value="Copy" id="button">
  </body>
  </html>
