get focus of form elements

[Hadi S.]

Hi,

i want to control the 'Enter' key to set focus to the next element in
the form(instead of 'Tab'). and i want to know which element had the
focus when the Keypress even of the form is called. how can i get
that?

Thanks

<input id="myinput"
onkeydown="if (event.keyCode==13)
{alert(this.id);event.keyCode=9}">

IE6 tested, other browsers need another event handling.

Hadi, this will change the standard execution so many will object to that.

Hi,

the code didn't work in my page(Windows, IE6). when i press Enter key,
it will pop up and messagebox, and then submit the form!
