i have two fields, first and last

but i want to send a letter to a client

i dont know how long the names will be so the individual fields are wide

but when i print out the letter it looks bad and i want to put the two names together in a single field

what i want javascript to do for me to take the contents of first and last and place them into a single filed 'fnl' for example, with a space between them so when i print the letter it looks normal

thanks!

this.getField("fnl").value = this.getField("firstfield").value + " " + this.getField("secondfield").value;
