Auto Tabbing
 
Ok, So I have been all through the forums on an auto tab script. I need a script that will allow the end user to enter a value, and when entered (numeric or alpha) it automatically goes to the next field.
 
I have seen many scripts on how this is done, but therein is the problem. The scripts don't work or I don't know how to input them properly. Guess I need directions and script.
 
I would also like an uppercase only script to be used on the same field.
 
Thanks all

The scripting functions and events for tabbing are specific to the forms technology you're using.

AcroForms: See the "field.setFocus()" function in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

LiveCycle Forms: See the "xfa.host.setFocus()" function in the "Adobe XML Form Object Model Reference"

I just used the Javascipt reference guide, and the date script does not work!

It is:

var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

Simply want to auto-fill a field with today's date. Greatly appreciate your help!

There are a couple things to note: First, your post is not related to this thread in any way. Please post your question to a new thread. Second, how you apply a formatted date to a form field depends on the form technology and how the specific field is to be used. Please include this information in your new post.
