Autotab between fields was created by Joffm
Hi, all,
LS Version 2.72.4+171110

I would like to be able to autotab to the next field if the entry exceeds a certain length.
I have a lot of numerical entries which all are only one digit


In Stackoverflow I found the following:
And to be honest, I am not at all familiar with JavaScript.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('input[type="text"]').keyup(function () {
      $this=$(this);
      if ($this.val().length >=1) {
        $this.next('input[type="text"]').focus();
      }
    });
  });
</script>

The length of the entry is recognized, but it does not proceed.

Any help is highly appreciated.

The problem is that .next() will only find direct siblings, whereas you are looking for a text input in the next sibling of the parent '.answer-item' element.

Try this:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]').keyup(function () {
      if ($(this).val().length >= 1) {
        $(this).closest('.answer-item').next('.answer-item').find('input[type="text"]').focus();
      }
    });
  });
</script>

Cheers,

Hi, Tony,
great - as usual.

I promise, one day I will learn about parents and siblings and so on.
