make moving between textboxes using arrows instead of tab

hello everybody

I have number of textboxes , I want to move betwoeen them using arrows in keyboard (up, down, left , right) instead of tab.

any ideas ?

thanks

 

You could use the onkeypress event to set focus on your desired elements.

 

thank you so much... but really that is what I already have as an idea but i'm seeking for easest ideas because I may have more than 50 textbox in one page

 

I dont think there will be any easier sollution. With tab you can just go forward and backward (Tab and Shift+Tab) through the textboxes. But if you also want to use the arrow keys i think you have to use the method wing already posted.

 

thanks for both of you (you and wing)
