Keypress on field 1

[lunargirrl]

I'd like to know how can I make keypress when the enter key is pressed, to jump to the next field on a form.


Thank you.

function setEnterKey(fieldName) {
 if (event.keyCode == 13) {
   event.cancelBubble = true;
   event.returnValue = false;
   document.getElementById(fieldName).focus();
  }
}

try this out....sending the textbox name for it to set focus...

checkai,

Wouldn't know how to then turn that into a TAB press, would you?

well, tab presses, you should be able to simply set the TABINDEX property on your controls...then tabbing will go automatically...

Right, but what I was asking was if you know how to programatically fire off a tab keypress event.

So you catch and shortcircuit the Enter, and then fire a Tab, instead.

Just curious.

Can it be done?

i see, what you're saying...so if someone is not focused on a button and they hit enter, you want to "pretend" they hit the Tab key...and do this without having to program every text box, list, etc...?

that i'm not sure of...maybe ask that in the Javascript forum...
