form field jump

[dingleberry]

Hi,

first of all, i'm much more comfortable with server side programming so please bare with me as I stumble through this. I'm tyring to make a field jump

|---------| |----------|
| field1 | | |
| field2 | -> | |
| | | |
|---------| |----------|

form in a browser but seriously have no clue where to begin. Figured Java would be a good place to start. Any ideas? Just a starting point if nothing else?

Thanks,
dan

Darn, my pretty picture got messed up when I submitted. D'oh!

suposed to look like two adjacent list form fields where you click the middle button, and the element from one box jumps to the other.

U can do thru JavaScript itself... No need to go for Java Serverside Programming

Yes the best way to do that probably would be to use an autotab javascript function. There are plenty of resources out there but the one that I use (with some little modifications) is located at

. Hope this helps.
