Posted on Sunday, January 23, 2011 Move cursor automatically into another text field Category APEX and jQuery Here is how you can move cursor automatically into another text field when field max length is reached. I did find this instruction and modified it a bit for APEX. Create HTML region and text items FIELD_1, FIELD_2 and FIELD_3. Set items HTML Form Element Attributes tabindex="1" Chang the value of tabindex according to the item order. Then in HTML region footer <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){ $('##REGION_ID# input:not([type="hidden"])').keyup(function(evt){ if(this.value.length===this.maxLength&&evt.which>=48){ n=this.tabIndex; evt.preventDefault(); if(n<$('##REGION_ID# input:not([type="hidden"])').length){ $('##REGION_ID# input:not([type="hidden"])').eq(n).focus(); } if(n==$('##REGION_ID# input:not([type="hidden"])').length){ $('##REGION_ID# input:not([type="hidden"])').eq(0).focus(); } } }); }); </script> This example needs jQuery. You can load jQuery on page HTML header if you use APEX version below 4.0. In APEX 4.0 jQuery is integrated. JavaScript code updated on 25.10.2011
