ColdFusion 7 has a new mask attribute for cfinput. So you can place the / in as needed
<cfinput type="text" mask="99/99/9999"> As for auto tab, the html tabIndex property of the form fields should let you define which order you can tab through a form. ---nimer -----Original Message----- From: Claremont, Timothy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 5:41 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: AutoTab Through Forms? Our data entry operator would like the screen to auto tab to the next field when finished inputting data. This is especially true of date fields. So, once two digits are entered into the month field, auto tab to the day field, etc. Barring that, what is the best way to set up a date field for data entry, like the forms where the / marks between the month/day, and the day/year are pre-populated? When I set the format of the field to date, it objects when I enter 120504 or 12-05-04. It only wants 12/05/04. Speed of data entry is the objective here. Is there a clean way to do this? CFMX6.1 is the platform.
