[PDF-Forms] PDF Field events and trips to the server

[Mike Shupe]

I am creating PDF forms which interact with my server.  I would like to be able to tab off a field and have the contents of the field validated by my server. For instance, we support more date formats than PDF so, when the user tabs off a text field which is to contain a date, I send a request to the server to validate it. I may also runs scripts on the server at that time.  To do this, I attach _javascript_ to the format event.   This successfully triggers a command to the server which comes back and the form is updated. Unfortunately, I also lose the focus. Instead of focus going to the next field in the tab order, it just disappears and the user has to click on a field to continue.  I have tried modifying the code to trigger on validate or calculate events but this only makes things worse.   Can anyone give me some clues as to how to both go to the server and get the focus on the next field?   Michael Shupe Project Leader AnyDoc Software, Inc. 813 222 0414 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
