Hello all,

 

I am new to javascript and am just trying to use it here and there and am having some problems. I have the following:

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>

<javascript>
<input type="text" name="phone1" id="phone1" size="3" maxlength="3" onkeyup="if(this.value.length()==this.getAttribute('maxlength')){document.getElementById('phone2').focus();}">) - 
<input type="text" name="phone2" id="phone2" size="4" maxlength="4" onkeyup="if(this.value.length()==this.getAttribute('maxlength')){document.getElementById('phone3').focus();}"> - 
<input type="text" name="phone3" id="phone3" size="4" maxlength="4">
</javascript>

</body>
</html>

 

This is supposed to move from one box to another once it reaches the maxlength of the characters but it is not. Any help is appreciated.
