    copied!<p>I have a question for the community.</p> <p>My problem is that I have 4 input files with a maxlength of 60 caracters for a total of 240 caracters.</p> <p>Because the "backend" of the customer's system, it need to be 4 differents inputs max to be inserted and they say it is not user-friendly to fill 4 fields.</p> <p><strong>My solution</strong></p> <p>I want to make a textarea and when you fill it, il complete the 4 fields.</p> <pre><code>[input text #1] max60 [input text #2] max60 [input text #3] max60 [input text #4] max60 [textarea max 240] </code></pre> <p>What I am trying to do is to make by javascript/jQuery to fill up the four field while typing in.</p> <p>At the moment, here is my code.</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { // My text area $("#inf_notes").bind('keydown', function () { var maxLength = 240; if ($(this).val().length &lt;= 60) { // The first 60 caracters $('#inf_notes_1').val($(this).val()); } if ($(this).val().length &gt; 60 &amp;&amp; $(this).val().length &lt;= 120) { // If more then 60, fill the second field $('#inf_notes_2').val($(this).val()); } // If 121 - 180 ... // If 181 - 240 ... if($(this).val().length == 240) { $(this).val($(this).val().substring(0, maxLength)); $('.alert_textarea').show(); // Simple alert else { $('.alert_textarea').hide(); } }); }); </code></pre> <p>It actually works for the first one, but I would like to have some feedbacks to help me complete the script to fill the 3 nexts.</p> <p>Any guess to complete it?</p> <p>-- EDIT #1</p> <p>I found a way that could maybe work! When the first input is completly filled, it will jump to the next field with a .focus()</p> <pre><code> $(".inf_notes").bind('keydown', function () { var notes1 = $('#inf_notes_1').val(); var notes2 = $('#inf_notes_2').val(); var notes3 = $('#inf_notes_3').val(); if (notes1.length == 60) { $('#inf_notes_2').focus(); } if (notes2.length == 60) { $('#inf_notes_3').focus(); } if (notes3.length == 60) { $('#inf_notes_4').focus(); } }); </code></pre>
