I need a javascript for the client to not have to tab to go to the next field. Example; text field limit to one character and when clients enter the character it should go automatically to the next text field. Can someone please help?

Those errors mean you entered the wrong field name. Keep in mind that JS is

case-sensitive!

I have copy and past the JS code. If you say it is case sensitive do you mean the code or the field it self?

Press Ctrl+J and see if there are any error messages in the console window.

Read the discussion in that thread more carefully. It needs to be the field's custom Keystroke script.

Seems fine. What happens when you try to use it? Also, where did you place the code?

Have you searched for "autotab" or "gonext"?
