I have three simples text fields -- first name, last name, and full name.
 
Is there a way to auto populate the FULL NAME field with the values from the FIRST AND LAST NAME fields?

Yes. Just use a JavaScript to add the field contents together in the target field. Refer to the JavaScript Specification manual for assistance with coding.

Do you mean that 107-page manual written in ancient Latin? Is there a "dummies" version of it available? Or maybe a translation dictionary for JS beginners?

I'm sorry for my sarcasm but I have zero background in JS so I don't even the name of what I'm looking for. I'm sure this manual is a fantastic resource, but it is written for people who already understand JS.

So Ted can you direct me to a good resource for AcroJS beginners? Then maybe I'll be better prepared to tackle Acrobat's manuals and guides !
