Tab Key Emulation

Hi, i've been using this function to make the enter key behave like a tab key. instead of using the tab key, the user can now use the enter key to go to the next field... however, what i want to happen is let the enter key function as it is when it reaches the submit button. can anyone please help me revise the code below. thanks.


function enterToTab(formRef, focusAny)
{
/***(C)'Arty Effem'
In all text/password elements of the specifed form, plus /empty/ textareas,
Enter key 'tabs' to:
focusAny==true: next visible element,
focusAny==false: next text/textarea/pw
***/
for(var i=0, e=formRef.elements, len=e.length, hasNext=true; i<len && hasNext; i++)
if( e[i].type && /^text|password|file|submit/.test( e[i].type ) )
{
for(var j=i+1; j<len && (!e[j].type ||( focusAny ? /hidden/.test(e[j].type): !/^text|password|file|submit/.test(e[j].type)) ); j++)
;
hasNext = j!=len;

e[i].onkeypress=new Function("var ta=false,k=(arguments[0]?arguments[0].which:window.event.keyCode )!=13;\
if(!k && !(ta=(this.type=='textarea'&&this.value.length>0)) && "+hasNext+")this.form.elements["+(j)+"].focus(); return k||ta;");
}

}

Not 100% sure I'm following your code, but you could try:



Not sure if that will work or not, but I'll fill you in on what I'm thinking. If the element doesn't have a next element (hasNext==false) then it should be the submit button (correct me if I'm wrong). So only do the onkeypress check if hasNext==true.

Hope this helps.
