176.0. "Cursor Positioning in Forms" by CIM2NI::CROSBY () Tue Apr 15 1997 23:06

We are trying to build a web interface to a database that doesn't require a 
keyboard or a mouse.

The user will use a bar code reader to enter data.

Is there a method to automatically position the cursor in the field?

If I have two or more fields, can I automatically move from field to field?

Yo, let's work the web.

Geeze,

The silence is deafening (sp?)

Is this a bogus idea, are all the rocket scientists in here stumped,
or did the IRS send everyone to the mother ship?

    the focus() method can be used to give a control (such as a text
    box) focus.
    
    So, you could use the onBlur event on a control to execute a JavaScript
    function which sets the focus to the appropriate control.
