Auto Jump to Next Field

I used Acrobat 7 to create a fillable form from a scanned doc. The form has LastName, FirstName, etc. The form has several boxes for last name, each box requiring 1 character. So, I have LastName1.0, LastName1.1, LastName1.2, etc. Each text field is set to 1 char only. How can I get it to auto jump to the next field after I enter a char? I know nothing about Javascript. Would someone write the script for me and instuct me where to put it? Please help, I have been trying to figure this out for weeks!

Hi emt3471,
This link will take you to an example for you to examine and copy the Javascript.

[url=http://www.box.net/shared/static/8mob3x3ru7.pdf]http://www.box.net/shared/static/8mob3x3ru7.pdf[/url]

It is open sourced and allows you to copy the code.

It has not been tested in LiveCycle, you'll need Acrobat 6.0 or higher.

If you need further assistance, contact me at [url=mailto:pdfdesign [at] msn [dot] com]pdfdesign [at] msn [dot] com[/url]Happy programming!
