Auto Tab //JavaScript Function
<a href="http://www.jsfromhell.com/forms/auto-tab">
Auto tabulation of text inputs with maxlength setted
Usage: just add the code on the end of your page or call it on the onload event (worse solution) and "the enter tabulation" will be added for all fields enclosed by the <form> tag.
