Here's something that might get you started... there may be a better way, I was just knocking around with this.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function checklength(input,nlen,cgoto) {
if (input.value.length == nlen) {
eval('thisform.'+cgoto+'.focus()');
}
}
function resetval(input) {
input.value = '';
input.focus();
}
</SCRIPT>
<html>
<body>
<form name=thisform>
<input type = text size=3 name=three maxlength=3 onfocus=resetval(this); onkeydown=checklength(this,3,'four');>
<input type=text size=3 name=four>
</form>
</body>
</html>
