hi,

i have a form with 3 text fields.

i want to go to the next field if the current field if empty.

i used the following code and it works but, when the focus is set to the next field and the field is not empty the text in the next field is marked.

if the text is marked and the user type a letter the text in the field gets deleted.

how can i prevent that?

if ( event.fieldFull || event.willCommit ) this.getField("NextTabField").setFocus();

Hi.

if the text is marked and the user type a letter the text in the field gets deleted.
how can i prevent that?

The text is not highlighted, it's selected.

So, typing over a selected text remove it, as usual in any software.

Nothing can prevent that since it's by design.

You need to better explain what you want to achieve.

What event should trigger this action? When the user exits the field? Enters it? Something else?

hi,

because i have 3 fields for the user to enter free text, i want it to be comfortable for input.

i need to code 2 things:

1, when the user is typing in the first field and the space ends, i want the cursor move to the next field.

2. when the user deletes the text in the second field, i want the cursor move to the first field and i don't want the text in the first field to be highlighted.
