How to copy data from one form to another?

Question

I have forms:

<form action="" method="post" id="form1">
    [many inputs, selects etc - form is used to filter the displayed results]
</form>

[content]
<table ...>
  <tr>
     <td>...<td>
     <td>
       <form action="" method="post" id="form2">
         [some inputs on row]
         <input type="submit" name="updaterow" value="Update row" />
       </form>
     </td>
  </tr>
</table>

And I want to copy data of inputs from form1 to form2 when I click submit button on form2. How to do it?

$("#form2").values($("#form1").values());
