hi!
I’m tring to build a simple crossword in html. [one word in each row, and the first coll giving the anser].
So if someone have a ready-made one – that could help me alot?

but even if not, i’ll be glad to learn how to make the cursor jump after printing one letter in the enty field – to the next entry field in the row?
…
<td><input type=text maxlength=1></td>
<td><input type=text maxlength=1></td>
…

thanks!

I take it you mean, you don't care [u]if you have[/u] to use JavaScript. ?

Basically, you must have code to automatically set the focus to each succeeding field when the current field is full. For example:
<i>
</i>&lt;input type=text name=text1 maxlength=1 onkeypress="
if (this.maxlength &lt;= this.value.length) {
this.form.text2.select();
this.form.text2.focus();
}
return true;"&gt;

Success!
