Is there a fix for this problem yet?:
In IE5 or IE4, in a 2 character field enter 2 characters, go back to the field, select all characters in the field and hit a character key. The cursor jumps to the next field. That is not correct, because the 2 characters have been overtyped by one character. The cursor should NOT move to the next field if all characters in the field are selected.
In IE5, this can happen in a one character field as well as the above.
Does anyone have a solution?

However, i did have a few problems with it - namely if you have other field types (i.e. select, radio etc) they don't have a maxlength property so it errors on keydown, and if you have any hidden fields if you try to set focus to them it errors. Heres my VB Script mods to the script which trap and solve these issues....
<script language="vbscript">
sub document_onkeyup
set objitem=window.event.srcelement
this_tagname = objitem.tagname
this_type = objitem.type
if this_tagname = "INPUT" and this_type = "text" then
this_name=objitem.name
keycode= window.event.keycode
this_length=len(objitem.value)
this_max=objitem.maxlength
if this_length = this_max and (keycode > 47 or keycode = 32) then
count=0
for each objitem in document.forms(0)
if this_name = objitem.name then
this=count+1
this_type = document.forms(0).elements(this).type
while this_type = "hidden"
this=this+1
this_type = document.forms(0).elements(this).type
wend
document.forms(0).elements(this).focus()
end if
count=count+1
next
end if
end if
end sub
</script>
err, there's no comments cos i'm too damned lazy but there's nothing too complexe going on really.... | | Rodrigo on Apr 20, 1999 at 3:20:10 PM | No Rating | With IE5 I have 3 fields with size= 2 and MAXLENGTH=2. When I fill all fields and the go back to first field i can input more 1 character each time.
To correct this, I changed the last if (IE5) to:
if (IE5)
if (el.value.length<el.maxLength){
el.value += key;
event.returnValue = '';
}
this way is working fine in IE5 | | bobharris on Apr 5, 1999 at 12:48:04 PM | No Rating | if (i != el.form.elements.length - 1){
If you don't check against the length -1 then it will break.
Without this you will get a javascript error as it tries to find a index that doesn't exist |
