[Alford, Gary L]

I have a _javascript_ function that checks for the length of a text box input and, if the length meets the set criteria, automatically advances the cursor to the next field (i.e. the three parts of a telephone number).  This function is called on a "onkeyup" command set into the input tag.  However, if, instead of using <input..., I use a <cfinput..., this function no longer works.  (Code as follows:) <script language="_javascript_">     function autoTab(obj,event,len,next_field) {         var fieldLength = obj.length;         if (fieldLength == len) {             next_field.focus();         }     } </script>   <cfinput name="AreaCode" required="Yes" message="Please enter a valid area code"> If I use a straight <input... tag, it works great.  The only reason I am using the <cfinput... is to take full advantage of the required and message attributes.   Any ideas?
