How can I automatically tab to the next field using jQuery?

Question

In jQuery, how can I trigger the behavior of a user tabbing to the next input field?

I\'ve tried this:

var e = jQuery.Event(\"keydown\");
e.which = 9         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried using

$("input").trigger( 'keypress', e );

as a solution?
I find sometimes being explicit is best. If that doesn't work possibly even

$("input").trigger( 'keypress', [{preventDefault:function(){},keyCode:9}] );.

Hope this helps.
