i have 3 textboxes , above data automatically insert in first textbox of web page.

my problem is

how can make data inserted in textbox (means when textbox’s onchange event fired)

1. first, javascript find ‘tab’ space in string
2. second, if find ‘tab’ space in string, javascript press ‘tab’ key , insert data in text box.

here's plain old dom-0 javascript solution, fun.

document.getelementbyid('the_form').onchange = function() {     var field = this[0];     var parts = field.value.split('\t');     (var = 0; field = this[i]; i++) {         field.value = parts[i] || '';     } }
