BJ,
Yes, there is a way you can do that. I'm not sure of the exact syntax, but
hopefully you can google this and get a solution:
You need to use the onkeypress event, something like this:
<input type="text" name="whatever" onkeypress="changePeriod();">
Your changePeriod() function should look at the window.event.keyCode (which
is the ascii value of the key pressed) and it matches the ascii value of a
period (46), change it to a tab (9). Something like this might work:
function changePeriod() {
if(window.event.keyCode == 46) {
window.event.keyCode = 9;
}
}
Try that and see if it works. I know it will work in IE, but not sure about
other browsers.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Dave Phillips

Subject: javascript question
I built a form for my users where they enter IP addresses. They are use to
putting in the .(period) in between the numbers but I built the form so all
they would have to do is type in the number. Is there a way I can change
the keystroke of a . (period) to a tab. So when they are typing they could
type in the . but it would tab over to the next field?
thanks for any help,
bj
