tabindexing using javascript

[napsternapster]

Is there a way in javascript to set the focus on the item with the next tabIndex value?

and generate dynamic tabindex using javascript

 

 

I thank you in advince.

Yes there is. You basically just set a condition on the input fields to tell when to have the function focus() to set off and what field you want to put focus on. Not hard.

The syntax is not as easy as you are saying and I've tried your advance but z giving producing an endless loop.Think of aform which has thousands of text boxes and select dropdowns your roles is to display the next textbox after a select drop down selection and set the focus on the new display.

 

basic syntax for reading the textboxes using javascript

 

for(var i = 1; i <= out_count;i++)

{

  for(var b = 1 ; b <=middle_count ;b++)

  {

      for(var g = 1; g <=9;g++)

      {

          var textBox = document.getElementById("txt"+i"_"+b+"_"g).id

          var selection = document.getElementById("sel"+i"_"+b+"_"g)).id

 

          if(document.getElementById(selection).id == 'inline)

          {

             

                next_index++

                  document.getElementById(info_id).tabIndex = next_index;

document.getElementById(info_id).tabIndex = document.getElementById(info_id).focus();

  }

  else if(document.getElementById(selselection id).style.display == 'inline')

  {

next_index++;

document.getElementById(selection ).tabIndex = next_index;

document.getElementById(selection ).tabIndex = document.getElementById(selection ).focus();

}

          }

      }

  }

}

Talk about a mess. O_O

 

You're over-did this by a mile! You need to add an onKeyUp attribute to each input box. Then just write that one function, with maybe one or two helper functions.
