pui.gotoNextElement(currentElement)





This feature is available with Profound UI releases later than Version 6 Fix Pack 4.1.

This function moves the text cursor to the next enabled visible input element from the current element.

Parameter:

  • currentElement -- the reference to the current DOM element.

Example:

You can use this API and the related API pui.gotoPreviousElement() to move the cursor forward and backward through all enabled visible input elements on a panel by using the Enter and Alt-Enter keys respectively.

Add this code to the “onload” event of a record format:

window.enterDoesTab = function(event) { event = event || window.event; if (event.keyCode == 13) { if (event.ctrlKey || event.shiftKey) return; preventEvent(event); if (event.altKey) // Alt-Enter key pressed pui.gotoPreviousElement(event.srcElement); else // Enter key pressed pui.gotoNextElement(event.srcElement); } } addEvent(pui.runtimeContainer, "keydown", enterDoesTab);



Add this code to the “onsubmit” event of the same record format:

removeEvent(pui.runtimeContainer,"keydown",enterDoesTab);
