If the data has been changed, then when the enter key is pressed the form fields onChange event handler is tripped. You can use this to set the focus on another form field:
<form name="myForm"> <input type="text" name="text1" onChange="this.form.text2.focus()"> <input type="text" name="text2" onChange="this.form.text3.focus()"> <input type="text" name="text3"> </form>
If the value of the form fields haven't changed then you can still capture the enter key using the onBlur event handler:
<form name="myForm"> <input type="text" name="text1" onBlur="this.form.text2.focus()" onChange="this.form.text2.focus()"> <input type="text" name="text2" onBlur="this.form.text3.focus()" onChange="this.form.text3.focus()"> <input type="text" name="text3"> </form>
