[thelist] Interesting Form Behavior

[Jeanne Pelletier]

Here's what I use to accomplish  that:

 <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

function dobmonth_autotab() {
   var lengther =  document.form["dobmonth"].value;
    if (lengther.length == 2){
     document.form["dobday"].focus();
  }
  }

  function dobday_autotab() {
     var lengther =  document.form["dobday"].value;
      if (lengther.length == 2){
       document.form["dobyear"].focus();
     }

  }
  </script>

hope it helps
Jeanne
