Web Form Cursor Placement

[ynnepztem]

I am using VB.Net, SQL Server 2000, Windows 2000. I have an application where a user needs to enter a number into three separate text boxes. The first one has a max length of 3, the second, 1 and the third 4. I don't want them to have to tab or click into the next box. How can I tell the cursor to setfocus into the next box when the maxlength has been reached. I could do this in VB6 very simply and I know how to send the cursor to another text box when coming from an error message or on form load. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the Textbox1_TextChanged event:

        If Len(TextBox1.Text) = 9 Then
            TextBox2.Focus()
        End If

- B

Thanks for the quick response. This code works for a Windows form but not for a Web form. Thanks for trying anyway.

I would ask this in the ASP.Net forum. It probably requires some client side code in JavaScript.

Brian's code MAY work if you change the textboxes to autopostback. But I don't think you would want to do that.
