JavaScript Automatically Move Cursor to Next Field When Textbox Full

Feb 28, 2013
Introduction

I will explain how to use JavaScript to automatically move cursor to next field when cursor textbox full or JavaScript to automatically (Auto Tab) send the user from one field (textbox) to the next when the maxlength of the field has been reached.
 
Description:
  
In previous articles I explained
jQuery Change background color of div, jQuery fadein fadeout effect, jQuery get current page url and title, jQuery create rounded corners for textbox and many articles relating to JavaScript, jQuery, asp.net. Now I will explain how automatically (Auto Tab) send the user from one field (textbox) to the next when the maxlength of the field has been reached.

To implement this we need to write the code like as shown below


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>JavaScript to automatically move from one field to another field</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function movetoNext(current, nextFieldID) {
if (current.value.length >= current.maxLength) {
document.getElementById(nextFieldID).focus();
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<b>Enter your Text:</b>
<input type="text" id="first" size="4" onkeyup="movetoNext(this, 'second')" maxlength="3" />
<input type="text" id="second" size="4" onkeyup="movetoNext(this, 'third')" maxlength="3" />
<input type="text" id="third" size="5" maxlength="4" />
</body>
</html>
