Question

I have a form like this:

<form name='mine'>     <input type=text name=one>     <input type=text name=two>     <input type=text name=three> </form> 

When user types a value in ‘one’, I sometimes want to skip the field ‘two’, depending on what he typed. For example, if user types ‘123’ and uses Tab to move to next field, I want to skip it and go to field three.

I tried to use OnBlur and OnEnter, without success.

Try 1:

<form name='mine'>     <input type=text name=one onBlur='if (document.mine.one.value='123') document.three.focus();>     <input type=text name=two>     <input type=text name=three> </form> 

Try 2:

<form name='mine'>     <input type=text name=one>     <input type=text name=two onEnter='if (document.mine.one.value='123') document.three.focus();>     <input type=text name=three> </form> 

but none of these works. Looks like the browser doesn’t allow you to mess with focus while the focus is changing.

BTW, all this tried with Firefox on Linux.

Answer 1

Try to attach tabindex attribute to your elements and then programmaticaly (in javaScript change it):

<INPUT tabindex='3' type='submit' name='mySubmit'>
