Shifting focus from one text entry box to another box without pressing tab or any other key

Sep 27, 2022

Hi all,

I am working on a form where I have two text entry boxes on a slide to enter the State abbreviation and the City name. How can I limit the first entry box to have just 2 characters and then automatically jumps to the next text entry box,  without having to press any key?

Thanks!

Hi Nate. Thanks for the response. I was actually looking for the focus to shift from one text entry box to another after the text input reaches its character limit, in my case State abbreviations. I did not want it to be dependent on any specific key. So, I ended up creating a separate slide for each input box. 

I am still struggling with limiting the character limit to two before it loses focus. Currently, I have Javascript in place that loses focus after each character.
