/** * returnTab.js * Author: Kent Seaton * Version: 1.1 * * This method requires the initial work to be done inside the page rather * than calling by a function. Perhaps an onload function would work * with this. The functionality does not work in Opera... yet, still * testing. The nextfield box must start with the requestFocus.js * field and changed using this simple template: * * * onFocus="nextfield ='';" * * Once complete on the page the return key should act as the tab key * normally works. * * Currently this script fails with Opera 6. Working to build any additional * component work to ensure it will work with Opera. It may be the Opera * cannot trap key events properly and thus a script like this wouldn't work. * * Application: This script was developed for KCBig.net */ var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); var is_ie = (ua.indexOf("ie") != -1); var is_moz = (ua.indexOf("mozilla") != -1); function keyDown(DnEvents) { k = (is_moz && !is_ie) ?
