Continue Text Field on next Line

Using JavaScript, a field can be created on the fly, but this will only work in Reader for a Reader Enabled PDF, and it's not the best strategy. I would be better to have all of the necessary form fields already on the form.

Moving the focus from one field to the next while the user is typing is a problem. It can be done but it's awkward. If a field has a fixed character width then the Keystroke Event object includes a "fieldFull" property. This can be used to set the focus to another field, but you have to be careful not to lose a keystroke in the process.

I am having the same issue as Ranjit. I am actually surprised that it is this difficult to do (at least for beginners). I would love to do a search for more posts on this topic, since I can't figure out Thom's solution, but I don't even know exactly how to describe the problem properly.

I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated.

Do a forum search on "continue text"
