hi there., one more thing, the codes keep prompting a message box with the value, what i need to do is store the value in another field, what will i need to do… i try the code in a blur() objects.

var f = document.forms[0];

mail = HR_FIRST_NAME.value.substring(0, 1)

f.HR_UFO_FullName.value = mail

it gets the value of the field but i must put it in another field not just prompt it…

thank you

Subject: Don’t need the temp variable

You don’t even need the intermediate variable assignment; you can do this:

var f = document.forms[0];

f.HR_UFO_FullName.value = HR_FIRST_NAME.value.substring(0, 1);

However, what you did should work. Check your target field name; remember Javascript is case-sensitive.

Subject: Javascript != Java

First, just to be clear - Javascript and Java are not the same thing. There are multiple ways to do what you want as Javascript String provide several handy functions to do what you want.

e.g:

var f = document.forms[0];

alert( myField.value.charAt(0))

alert( myField.value.substr(0,1))

alert( myField.value.slice(0,1))

alert( myField.value.substring(0,1))

Each function works differently however (except slice and substring which are the same). charAt returns a single character from a specified index, the others all return a substring (of any length).
