jQuery Autotab

Autotab is a jQuery plugin that provides auto tabbing and filtering on text fields in a form. Once the maximum number of characters has been reached within a text field, the focus is automatically set to a defined element. Likewise, clearing out the text field's content by pressing backspace eventually places the focus on a previous element.

Why jQuery Autotab?

• Auto tabbing behaves logically, in both tabbing forward and tabbing backwards.
• Allow your users to easily modify your text in a tab that would otherwise auto tab away.
• Reduce the amount of bad data submitted in a form by filtering text fields.
• Populate multiple text fields by pasting into one.
• Enhance text fields by auto tabbing when a specific character is pressed.
• It is small, fast, easy to load and built on the powerful jQuery library.

Requirements

Autotab works in both jQuery 1.7+ and 2.x. If your site supports Internet Explorer 6, 7, and/or 8, use jQuery 1.7+ since 2.x drops support for these browsers.

Installation

Add a reference to jquery.autotab.js.

<script src="jquery.autotab.js"></script>

Setup and Usage

Autotab can be setup in several different ways within jQuery's $(document).ready() event. The two components that make up Autotab, auto tabbing and filtering, can be managed independently from one another, providing numerous ways of achieving the same result, depending on how indepth you want to setup your form.

Auto Tabbing

Note: If the selector matches multiple elements, the target and previous fields will be overwritten if previously set.

Examples

Establishes auto tabbing rules only and forces each field to have a maxlength of 1.

$('.answer').autotab({ maxlength: 1 });

<div>
    <label>Answer 1</label>
    <input type="text" id="answer1" class="answer" size="3" /> -
    <label>Answer 2</label>
    <input type="text" id="answer2" class="answer" size="3" /> -
    <label>Answer 3</label>
    <input type="text" id="answer3" class="answer" size="3" /> -
</div>

Automatically establishes auto tabbing order and number filtering.

$('.number').autotab('number');

<div>
    <label>Phone Number</label>
    <input type="text" id="number1" class="number" maxlength="3" size="3" /> -
    <input type="text" id="number2" class="number" maxlength="3" size="3" /> -
    <input type="text" id="number3" class="number" maxlength="4" size="5" />
</div>

Manually defines auto tabbing order and alphanumeric filtering.

$('#alphanumeric1').autotab({ format: 'alphanumeric', target: '#alphanumeric2' });
$('#alphanumeric2').autotab({ format: 'alphanumeric', target: '#alphanumeric3', previous: '#alphanumeric1' });
$('#alphanumeric3').autotab({ format: 'alphanumeric', target: '#alphanumeric4', previous: '#alphanumeric2' });
$('#alphanumeric4').autotab({ format: 'alphanumeric', target: '#alphanumeric5', previous: '#alphanumeric3' });
$('#alphanumeric5').autotab({ format: 'alphanumeric', previous: '#alphanumeric4' });

<div>
    <label>Product Key</label>
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric1" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" /> -
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric2" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" /> -
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric3" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" /> -
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric4" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" /> -
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric5" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" />
</div>

Remove and Restore

Examples

Manually turn off auto tab and filtering functionality on all text boxes.

$('#remove-autotab').on('click', function () {
    $('input[type=text]').autotab('remove');
});

<button id="remove-autotab">Turn Off</button>

Manually turn on auto tab and filtering functionality on all text boxes.

$('#restore-autotab').on('click', function () {
    $('input[type=text]').autotab('restore');
});

<button id="restore-autotab">Turn On</button>

Filtering

Note: If passing an object, the target and previous fields are ignored, if included, to preserve previously established auto tab rules. Use .autotab(object) to modify the target and previous fields.

Because of how Autotab's settings are stored, it is possible to define the filter format using data-autotab-format. If using custom, place your regular expression in data-autotab-pattern.

It is possible to specify the filter through an element's class, using the same names that are available when calling the filter. In order to use this feature, $.autotab.selectFilterByClass must be set to true before initializing Autotab.

Examples

Manually defines text filtering.

$('#salt').autotab('filter', 'text');

<div>
    <label>Salt</label>
    <input type="text" id="salt" maxlength="16" size="12" />
</div>

Manually defines alphanumeric filtering and converts all alpha characters to uppercase format.

$('.alphanumeric').autotab('filter', { format: 'alphanumeric', uppercase: true });

<div>
    <label>Product Key</label>
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric1" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" /> -
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric2" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" /> -
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric3" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" /> -
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric4" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" /> -
    <input type="text" id="alphanumeric5" class="alphanumeric" maxlength="5" size="4" />
</div>

Manually defines number filtering via data-autotab-format. In this example, $(selector).autotab() will take the attribute into account.

<div>
    <label>Phone Number</label>
    <input type="text" id="phone1" maxlength="3" size="3" data-autotab-format="number" /> -
    <input type="text" id="phone2" maxlength="3" size="3" data-autotab-format="number" /> -
    <input type="text" id="phone3" maxlength="4" size="4" data-autotab-format="number" />
</div>

Other random JavaScript examples

$(':input').autotab();
$('#username').autotab({ format: 'alphanumeric', target: '#password' });
$('#password').autotab({ previous: '#username', target: '#confirm' });
$('#product-key').autotab('filter', { format: 'alphanumeric', uppercase: true });
$('#ip-address').autotab('filter', { format: 'custom', pattern: '[^0-9\.]' });
$('#function').autotab('filter', function (text) { alert(text); });
$('#number1, #number2, #number3').autotab('filter', 'number');
$('.ipv6').autotab('filter', 'hexadecimal');

Global Methods

Autotab comes with several global methods, which are probably most useful in edge cases.

Options

var options = {
    format: string|function,
    pattern: string,
    uppercase: boolean,
    lowercase: boolean,
    nospace: boolean,
    maxlength: integer,
    target: string|element,
    previous: string|element,
    trigger: string|array,
    tabOnSelect: boolean
};

Filter Formats

Autotab has several filter formats available, all passed into the format key. If none of the formats meet your needs, Autotab also supports a passing a function or specifying custom option where you can pass a regular expression.

Known Issues

• Due to security measures placed in iOS, Autotab cannot achieve auto tabbing functionality when hitting a field's character limit. The problem stems from the focus event not being triggered manually. As a workaround, Autotab works with iOS by keeping the keyboard open, allowing you to navigate using the arrow shortcuts.
• Any script that uses the keydown and keypress events may conflict with Autotab, or vice versa. As of 1.9.0, Autotab uses event extensions in an attempt to prevent this from happening.
• With limitations of selection in most text field types, only text, password and textarea fields support auto tabbing and filtering, while tel, number, email, url and search support auto tabbing only.
• Drop events will not work for IE11 since changing the maxlength property causes the event from proceeding. IE6-10 work fine, however.

Minify

Autotab uses the Closure Compiler (simple optimization) to create jquery.autotab.min.js.
