If I use code as seen below, is there a way to key in 7 characters into "field1" then have it auto tab over to "field12".<br />
<br />
I am familiar with Java Script if this is part of the answer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<INPUT size="7" type="text" maxlength="7"name="field1"><br />
<INPUT size="7" type="text" maxlength="7"name="field2"><br />
<br />
Any Help Would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks <br />

***EDIT***<br />
There's probably a better way, where you could loop through all the form elements and have the focus drop to the next one if the maximum character length is achieved, so you don't have to write a bazillion functions for each form/element.. Fredmv might have a suggestion on this.<!--content-->Thanks for your help<!--content-->
