Tabbing between form fields in javascript

avivit · May 30, 2001

I'd like to tab my form fields, in a loop, using:

function tabbing(field1, field2,field3,field4)
{ for (i=0;i<argumrntsNumber;i++)
{
document.form1[fieldName].tabIndex=i;
}
}

I'd like "argumentsNumber" to hold the number of arguments
that the function gets (field1, field2,field3), which can be changed of course,
so the loop will work for eavh field, until all list is tabbed.
("i" is teh number of the tabIndex).
I need it for IE and ns6.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, i need to know if in the "function tabbing(field1, field2,field3,field4)" you especify the fields there or they are passed from a externall call

Vegeta, I call it from the body tag:
<body onload="tabbing('author',title','year')">

Anyway, I managed to do what I wanted now, so it's ok:

function tabbing(field1,field2,field3)
{var fieldName;
for (i=0;i<arguments.length;i++)
{fieldName=arguments;
document.form1[fieldName].tabIndex=i+1;
}
}

Thanks.
