Question

I’m afraid I don’t do a lot of work with JQuery, and was unable to find an answer to this in the documentation. I am trying to use JQuery to pass multiple text inputs to a hidden field. So far I have got the following:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
        $('#textinput1').blur(function() {
            $('input[name=hiddenField]').val($('#textinput1').val());
        });
    });
</script>

This works fine for pulling a single line over to the hidden field. However, I have two additional fields that I need to also display in the hidden field so that the value of the hidden field represents all three of these text inputs. Any thoughts?

This answers your exact question.

$(function(){
        $('#textinput1,#textinput2,#textinput3').blur(function() {
            $('input[name=hiddenField]').val(
                      $('#textinput1').val() + " " + 
                      $('#textinput2').val() + " " + 
                      $('#textinput3').val());
        });
    });

But generally speaking, unless there’s a good reason not to, we’d want a different hidden fields for each one of these.
