auto tabbing

[EC_Willamalane]

i am not using LiveCycle any more and not sure how to get the form to auto tab.  i have boxes that i have restricted to 1 character and want the form to auto tab to next box, which is also limited to 1 character.  (accounting codes). tried using the Java Script i used before under actions, but is not working.

thank you for your help

Use the comb field in LiveCycle.

Is there any way to do this using Adobe Acrobat Pro and not liveCycle?

Thank you,

Yes, it's possible. You need to define this function as a doc-level script:

function autoTab(cName){
    if (event.rc && AFMergeChange(event).length == event.target.charLimit) {
        var f = this.getField(cName);
        if (f==null) {
            app.alert("Can't locate: " + cName);
            return;
        }
        f.setFocus();
    }
}

And then use this code as the field's custom Keystroke event (the name in the parentheses is the name of the field to tab to):

autoTab("Text1");

Sorry I am only a moderate user;  do I enter this under the properties of the cell/actions/select trigger?/Select Action would be Java Script and add this?

Which part are you talking about? I explained where each code needs to go to, above.
