Hi, Since php is a server side language, you can not use it to monitor what is happening client side. You should be able to do it in javascript, using the onChange event and check the stringlength and then call submit. Similarly you can advance the tab key key using the focus function.
hth Henrik Hornemann -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: H Marc Bower [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sendt: 7. oktober 2002 13:48 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: [PHP-WIN] Auto-submit form Is there a way (preferrably using php... but if javascript is necessary and some kind soul knows how I will use it) to have a form auto-submit when a field is 'full'? I want to be able to scan barcodes of a set length and have a form be automatically submitted to store the information in the database when the barcode field is scanned. Since I'm asking potentially off-topic question anyway, how do I make the fields advance without using the tab key when one field is 'full'? For instance, I want to scan a library card barcode, have the focus shift to the piece barcode field, scan the book barcode, then be auto-submitted once the book barcode is scanned.
