Code for forcing cursor to next cell?

[DMKPDX]

How do I force the cursor to go to the next cell in a table after user presses Enter?

It had been working by default but adding a row of informational on-screen text between the cells (on 2 separate rows) now bumps the cursor down to the Submit button at the end of the page.

(Code available but saving time and trouble if it's an obvious answer.)

Thanks!

you could use TABINDEX (

although this will handle tabs not return, but you could write some JS to find the next TABINDEX cell and set the focus.

That's along the lines of what I was hoping for but it's actually particular in that I can't use TAB to go between cells, I have to use Enter.

Could <caption>Blah blah</caption> cause this behavior? That preludes the added section between <thead><tr><th></th><th><br>...</th></tr></thead>

I figure the problem's in that bookended code otherwise.

you could add an event listener to detect the enter key being pressed and then locate the next TABINDEX cell and then set the focus on it.
