  question about Andy Smith's numeric text box

  Sep 05, 2003 05:23 PM|LINK

  i tried using .net text bos and having javascript code for numeric entries and also autotab to next text box but was having prbs. so i downloaded the numeric text box frm http://www.excentricsworld.com/ then i tried to implement 'autotab' with

  and
  
  
  <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  
  
  var isNN = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1);
  function autoTab(input,len, e)
  {
  	var keyCode = (isNN) ? e.which : e.keyCode;
  	var filter = (isNN) ? [0,8,9] : [0,8,9,16,17,18,37,38,39,40,46];
  	if(input.value.length >= len && !containsElement(filter,keyCode))
  	{
  	input.value = input.value.slice(0, len);
  	input.form[(getIndex(input)+1) % input.form.length].focus();
  	}
  
  
  function containsElement(arr, ele)
  	{
  	var found = false, index = 0;
  	while(!found && index < arr.length)
  	if(arr[index] == ele)
  	found = true;
  	else
  	index++;
  	return found;
  	}
  
  
  function getIndex(input)
  	{
  	var index = -1, i = 0, found = false;
  	while (i < input.form.length && index == -1)
  	if (input.form[i] == input)
  		index = i;
  	else i++;
  	return index;
  	}
  
  
  return true;
  }
  
  
  
  
  function KeyCheck(myfield,e)
  {
  var keycode;
  if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
  else if (e) keycode = e.which;
  else return true;
  if (((keycode>47) && (keycode<58) )  || (keycode==8)) { return true; }
  else return false;
  }
  
  
  //  End -->
  </script>

  the same code works fine with regular .NET text box when i can tab to next text box but it doesnt work on this control. so how do i go abt it . thanks.

  1) That is not my control. That site/control belongs to Matt Hawley. My site is metabuilders.com B) He takes over the onkeypress event, which may interfere with your onkeyup handler.

  oh ok sorry. for some reason i thgt it was yours. everytime i see your post its usually "download my free control..." :) so it prbly got registered in my mind it was yours. but i think i got a little work around on it. he had a masked text box for ssn as xxx-xx-xxxx. i modified the mask so it takes phone numbers. luckily it even checks for numeric entries. so now i can have one text box for phone number and not 3. this will save me some code also as i dont have to (1) concatenate every time i make an entry into the db and (2) strip it off when i i pull it out of the db. this is prbly temporary solution. so am wondering if i should stick to .net controls or continue with custom controls. thanks andy.
