Two questions. 1. Reg'd Prompt Box. 2. Reg'd Auto Tab script.

Hi,

1. Is there any way to get a prompt box to show up in the middle of the screen rather than the top-left?

2. I'm looking for some code that will move to the next text box when 2 characters are entered in the current box.

Thanks,
Al.

For centering, try:

<form>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<center><input name="prompt_box"></center>
</form>

For auto-tabbing you would use JavaScript and you would add an
onChange="tabFunction(this)" to your input field, i.e.:
<input name="prompt_box" onChange="tabFunction(this)">

Then you would set up the tabFunction(string) to check to see if string.length is greater than 2 and if so, tab to the next field.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get the tab function to work.
The prompt box is a JavaScript prompt. e.g.

Code:

function EnterPrice(){
Price=prompt("Item 12345 is not in the price file. Please enter your price.");
....
}

It's this prompt box I'm trying to center on the screen.
Thanks,
Al.

1/ Dont think its possible, it just pops up where it wants too. I'd use a <input type="text"> instead

2/ Try This...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Set Focus After Length Of Characters Has Exceeded</title>

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

</script>

</head>
<body>
<form name="form1">
<input type="text" name="text1" id="text1" onkeypress="checkLength('text1','text2',2)">
<input type="text" name="text2" id="text2" onkeypress="checkLength('text2','text3',2)">
<input type="text" name="text3" id="text3">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps
