For everyone's benefit, this is the script that was sent to me that works
for this situation:
<script language="JavaScript">
var isNN = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1);
function autoTab(input,len, e) {
var keyCode = (isNN) ? e.which : e.keyCode;
var filter = (isNN) ? [0,8,9] : [0,8,9,16,17,18,37,38,39,40,46];
if(input.value.length >= len && !containsElement(filter,keyCode)) {
input.value = input.value.slice(0, len);
input.form[(getIndex(input)+1) % input.form.length].focus();
}
function containsElement(arr, ele) {
var found = false, index = 0;
while(!found && index < arr.length)
if(arr[index] == ele)
found = true;
else
index++;
return found;
}
function getIndex(input) {
var index = -1, i = 0, found = false;
while (i < input.form.length && index == -1)
if (input.form[i] == input)index = i;
else i++;
return index;
}
return true;
}
</script>
Then your text controls will be something like this:
<input type="Text" name="MM" maxlength="2" size="2" onkeyup="return
autoTab(this, 2, event);")>
<input type="Text" name="DD" maxlength="2" size="2" onkeyup="return
autoTab(this, 2, event);")>
<input type="Text" name="YY" maxlength="2" size="2" onkeyup="return
autoTab(this, 2, event);")>

essentially the script looks like this.
<script>
function goTab(next,max){
len = event.srcElement.value.length
if (len == max){
eval("document.formname." + next + ".focus()");
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="formname">
<input type="text" name="first" onkeypress="goTab('second',3)" size="3">
<input type="text" name="second" size="2">
</form>
