Roble Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hello,I'm working on my dad's insurance website, and I was making the quotes form. He's told me that he wants the licence number to be entered into 3 text fields, each having a maxlength of 5. But he wants the fields so that when the first text field is filled out, it will go on to the second, and then on to the third after that. He wants it to be automatic, so his potential clients dont have to hit tab. I've tried doing this with JS, but to no avail. Wondering if this can be done using PHP? If not can you give me a better JS script then the one I found? Much appreciated.

Jeremysr Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 No I'm pretty sure this can't be done in PHP. I think you need to use Javascript, but I'm not sure how to do this.

trq Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 You really dont want to do this in php, Javascript is made for this. There is an entire forum on thsi board dedicated to client side issues... best you ask your question there.
