    <p>Yo, waddup?</p> <p>I have a series of input boxes that allow me to type a string of letters or characters that stores one letter into each box in a 'spill-over' manner. Each box is an input text type that has a limit of 1 character. </p> <p>It works fine on my web browser (in Windows). On the iPad however, after tapping the first letter inside the first input box, the second input box will highlight (focus), but the iPad's virtual keyboard will dropdown (disappear). I am then forced to tap the second input box to bring up the iPad's virtual keyboard. </p> <p>Demo. <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/frankiekam/GUaZB/9/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/frankiekam/GUaZB/9/</a></p> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;form&gt; &lt;input class="test" type="text" maxlength="1" /&gt; &lt;input class="test" type="text" maxlength="1" /&gt; &lt;input class="test" type="text" maxlength="1" /&gt; &lt;input class="test" type="text" maxlength="1" /&gt; &lt;input class="test" type="text" maxlength="1" /&gt; &lt;input class="test" type="text" maxlength="1" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>JQuery:</strong></p> <pre><code>$("input").keyup(function() { var input_flds = $(this).nextAll(".test:first"); input_flds.select().focus(); }); </code></pre> <p><strong>CSS</strong></p> <pre><code>input[type=text] { width: 30px; } </code></pre> <p>This is frustrating to use (on the iPad) as to enter the letters 'a', 's' and 't' as shown in the image example below, I have to do 6 six steps:</p> <ol> <li>Tap to bring up iPad Virtual Keyboard</li> <li>Key in 'a', focus moves on to second input box</li> <li>Tap to bring up iPad Virtual Keyboard</li> <li>Key in 's', focus moves on to third input box</li> <li>Tap to bring up iPad Virtual Keyboard</li> <li>Key in 't' Very tedius !!!</li> </ol> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/iVx11.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>My Quest is this. I need to find a way for the Javascript/JQuery code to automatically register or create a iPad tap event right after the next input box is in focus. The proper flow should be like this:</p> <ol> <li>Tap to bring up iPad Virtual Keyboard (VK)</li> <li>Key in 'a', focus moves on to second input box, tap event auto-generated, VK pops up.</li> <li>Key in 's', focus moves on to third input box, tap event auto-generated, VK pops up.</li> <li>Key in 't'.</li> </ol> <p>What magical CSS/HTML/Javascript would I be needing for me to complete this Quest, Sire?</p> <p>Reference/Related: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19557517/type-a-word-from-the-keyboard-and-store-each-letter-into-a-series-of-multiple-in">Type a word from the keyboard and store each letter into a series of multiple input text boxes</a> and <a href="http://moodurian.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-i-managed-to-allow-input-of-only-1.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://moodurian.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-i-managed-to-allow-input-of-only-1.html</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
