Copy multiple input fields to other matching input fields with jQuery/Javascript -

i have dummy form , actual form in @ point want copy input values dummy form across real form. dummy fields have same names real form (so can match them up).

so in dummy form:

<input name="item1" value="field1" /> <input name="item2" value="field1" /> <input name="item3" value="field1" /> 

and in real form:

<input name="item1" value="" /> <input name="item2" value="" /> <input name="item3" value="" /> 

i assume i'll need iterate on each input in dummy form (using jquery .each() ?) while collecting name , value in js object. iterate on each input in real form, matching name selector , setting value (perhaps can done in 1 .each() function ???)

i've started following code grabs values (and index) array, because need 2 values (name , value, , index irrelevant) assume i'll need object not array, not sure begin that.

var inputvalues = [];     $("#dummyform input").each(function() {         inputvalues.push($(this).val());     }); 

any or advice appreciated.

map them like

$('#dummyform [name]').each(function() {    var name = $(this).attr('name');    $('#realform [name="' + name + '"]').val($(this).val());  });
