Automated Change of focus

[bunch92]

Hi guys

The code below will be used to fill in a crossword grid.
When a user types a letter, focus is changed to next cell in the grid.

My code doesn't work and I would be grateful if you could help me ...

The script is :

function changefocus(theevent,thetarget)
{
if (theevent > 64 && theevent < 91){cross1.thetarget.focus();}
}


Part of the HTML is :
<form name="cross1">
<input type="text" name="A1" onKeyUp="changefocus(event.keyCode,'A2');">
<input type="text" name="A2" onKeyUp="changefocus(event.keyCode,'A3');">
<input type="text" name="A3" onKeyUp="changefocus(event.keyCode,'A1');">
</form>



Thank you,

If you don't mind that it won't work in Netscape or Firefox,
it looks like all you need to do is change:
cross1.thetarget.focus()
to:
cross1.elements[thetarget].focus()

If you want it to work more generally, you need to change
that to:
document.cross1.elements[thetarget].focus()
and you need to change:
event.keyCode
to:
event.keyCode|event.charCode

It works perfectly.
Thank you very much Lee
