script that will automaticly set the focus to the next text box after the previous one is completed

Apr 4, 2012 11:07 AM

Specificly, entering a SSN into a form with three text boxes. 1st box for first 3 digits, 2nd box for middle 2 digits, and 3rd box for last 4 digits. I would like the user to be able to enter the 1st three digits into the 1st box, and after the 3rd digit is entered, the focus jumps to the 2nd box, then once the middle two are entered, the focus jumps the the 3rd box without having to manually use the tab key to advance through the boxes. Thanks.

and I'm guessing it would be a conditional type statement that if the correct number of digits are entered in the selected field, the focus is set to another specified field, else nothing.

See JavaScript - setFocus Method for tabbing to next form field for a sample form that uses a document level script and custom keystroke script. See Entering Document Scripts and Entering scripts for form fields by Thom Parker for detailed instructions on entering or viewing these type of scripts.
