Copy billing address to shipping address in account page

So lets say I have a billing name / shipping name on the account page, and I want to be able to copy the info from the billing name field to the shipping name field, and vie versa with a click of a button, so the user doesn't have to reenter everything, how can this be done?

Cliff:
Two forms on the account page, billing and shipping name
I need to copy billing name to shipping name, and vice versa
I need this done with a click of a button (there will be 2 buttons)

Any help is appreciated!

The below code is what one of the users gave me, but I don't know how to implement this.
Behavior: Execute JavaScript
    {!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/26.0/connection.js")} 

    var c = new sforce.SObject("Account"); 
    c.id = "{!Account.Id}";
    result = sforce.connection.update([c]); 

    window.location.reload();

Hi Josh,

Please try the below sample code.Change the object name in the below code.
Step 1: First create a visualforce page 
 
<apex:page controller="Custombutton" action="{!save1}" showHeader="false">
 
</apex:page>

Controller
 
public with sharing class Custombutton {
public customer__c ct=new  customer__c();
 public Custombutton (){
  string c=apexpages.currentpage().getparameters().get('id');
  ct=[select name,id,Billing_City__c,Billing_Postal_Code__c,Billing_State1__c,Billing_Street__c,Shipping_City__c,Shipping_Postal_Code__c,Shipping_State__c,Shipping_Street__c from customer__c where id=:c];
  
 }

    public PageReference save1() {
    ct.Shipping_City__c=ct.Billing_City__c;
    update ct;
    pagereference pr=new pagereference('/'+ct.id);
        return pr;
    }


}

Step2: Create a custom button

Hi,

Do you have the buttons on account standard detail page or have you created a visualforce page for this?

Thanks! I'll try that as soon as I can fix the visualforce developer console, it's not letting me create new apex classes...
