Need a javascript for not have to tap to go to next field

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

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?

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

I recently answered a very similar question. See: Skipping charaters between linked boxes on form - Adobe Acrobat PDF

I am very new to the javascript.....myne does not work. What am I doing wrong?

[try67]

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

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

On the field self:

[try67]

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

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

Oooo okey let me try again thank you

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

No this is not my lucky day today nothing works...

[try67]

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

[try67]

Also, did you set that field to have a character limit of 1?

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

Hi Yes I set up a character limit of 1. here is the error messages

TypeError: this.getField(...) is null

1:Field:Validate

TypeError: this.getField(...) is null

1:Field:Mouse Up

TypeError: this.getField(...) is null

1:Field:Validate

TypeError: this.getField(...) is null

1:Field:Mouse Up

TypeError: this.getField(...) is null

1:Field:Mouse Up

TypeError: event.target is undefined

1:Console:Exec

undefined

TypeError: this.getField(...) is null

1:Field:Validate

[try67]

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

case-sensitive!

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

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?

[try67]

All of it.

If you can't figure it out share the file with us and I'll look into it.

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

Anytime but where do I share it here?

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

Should I custom JS each text field with the code then:

[try67]

Yes, that is expected, as I noted in the other discussion... Again, you should read it carefully.

If you want to share it upload it to a website like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc., and post the link to it here.

I looked under "Costing1_2":

- You didn't place the code in the right location (you left it as a Mouse Up script)

- You can't use the Number format if you want to do it. You have to change it to Custom and then enter the code under the Keystroke event.

If you do both of those things it will work.

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

What should the mouse be? Thank you so much for helping

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

Is it possible for you to just do this explanation on the Costing1_2 so that I can understand. I think if i see the output it will click but i at this stage I don't

[try67]

Don't add anything under Mouse Up.

Here's the edited version I created:

I remind you that you won't see anything under the field's Format tab, but

the code is there.

[NaDiA-rAXu4u]

Thank you very much I understand of not seeing it but did do it before. Do you think my JS settings is correct for running scrips because yours work 100% but when I am doing it does nothing. I copied the Costing1_2 to the others and same thing with me it did not worked:

[try67]

The preferences are fine.

What did you copy, exactly?
