I know this should be simple...but for some reason my brain isn't working.
I want my users to enter a the date in three seperate boxes. After the
users enters in two digits for the month I want the cursor to move to the
day textbox and so on....
I was using simple code...but onKeyPress occurs before the value
changes...can anyone help me?
my code:
<form name="frmdatebo xes" action="test2.a sp" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="hidBBdate " value="">
<input type="text" name="txtmonth" class="smalltxt box" maxlength="2"
onKeyPress="che cklen(this,2);" > /
<input type="text" name="txtday" class="smalltxt box" maxlength="2"
onKeyPress="che cklen(this,2);" > /
<input type="text" name="txtyear" class="txtbox" maxlength="4"
onKeyPress="che cklen(this,4);" >
</form>
function checklen(tFormO bj, tLen)
{
if (tFormObj.value .length == tLen)
{
document.forms["frmdatebox es"].nextelement.fo cus();
}
}
TIA

It seems to work if I change the function call from onKeyPress to onKeyUp.
Does anyone know of a better way?

Use onKeyUp, but form.nextelemen t is not valid in Netscape. Actually, it
didn't work in IE, either. I don't know what you were going for with
that.
However, the event did fire at the proper time, after the value was
changed.

If the number is a two digit number, this will not work. In fact I don't
know if there is a way to do what you want, since you don't know when
the user is finished with the entry.

That's a very annoying thing for a user interface to do.
Almost every text entry field requires you to hit TAB
afterward. If you change the rules in a few cases
you're not making things any easier.
If you're doing this to prevent mistakes, you're not
helping either. Most of the time that I make a typing
error, I realize it immediately and hit backspace and
then the correct character. If the focus moved to a
new field after I typed the error, by backspace didn't
correct it, and now I have errors in two fields.
I don't like having to slow down and look to see if some
clever programmer is going to make the focus move away
from where I expect it to be.

Good Point Lee...
The more I think about it...the more I agree. Unless the user specifically
asks, I won't use this method.

Tiresome for the user.
Better to have a single box, in which YYYYMMDD can be entered
with/without field separators. Consider a validation function built on
:-
S = "12340608"
X = S.match(/^(\d\d\d\d)(\D? )(\d\d)(\2)(\d\ d)$/)
if (!X) { alert("!") ; /* return false */ }
Y = +X[1] ; M = +X[3] ; D = +X[5]
with (Z = new Date(Y, M-1, D))
OK = getMonth()+1 == M && getDate() == D
// return OK
