Pasting text in multiple boxes (like 4-part serial key validation for installer)

[Ivan Ivković]

I made a CMS for TONS of complicated data to insert. I made multiple text boxes for each unit of data (i.e. 10 textboxes for quick-insert of 10 employees). I have text files with tons of data to post to the database.

I want to copy 10 units, paste them into the first textbox, and I want it to be pasted to other 9 textboxes. Is that possible?

 

EXAMPLE :

(copied text):

 

Name Surname

Name Surname

Name Surname

Name Surname

Name Surname

Name Surname

Name Surname

Name Surname

Name Surname

Name Surname

 

(pasted):

1.textbox > Name Surname

2.textbox > Name Surname

3.textbox > Name Surname

4.textbox > Name Surname

5.textbox > Name Surname

6.textbox > Name Surname

7.textbox > Name Surname

8.textbox > Name Surname

9.textbox > Name Surname

10.textbox > Name Surname

normal textbox can't accept multi line text (you'll only get the first line), you can either seperate the names with a comma (or other character) or paste them into a textarea.

 

For paste the data into different fields, you can simply add an onkeyup event to your field, split the value and populate the other fields.
