How to submit a page and set the focus on the next field?

Question

Hello,
I have a form with some fields and below this a report with a column link. If I change values in the form fields and I click the on a column link the changes in the fields are lost because the page is not submitted.
I try this: I set on the fields in HTML Form Element Attributes the following:
onchange="doSubmit('AENDERUNG_UEBERNEHMEN');"
And I create a branch to the same page. This works great, I dont lost the changes in the fields and I can use the column links.
But: If I want to walk through the form with the key "TAB" I have to press the key 2 times to come to the next field.
How can I submit the page and go to the next field?
Regars,
Mark

Hello Mark,
how about submitting the page when the column link in the report is clicked. To do this, create a column link with an URL target and specify a target like
javascript:doSubmit('#ID#_AENDERUNG_UEBERNEHMEN').After that I would create a process, that checks if
substr(:REQUEST,instr(:REQUEST,'_')+1) (or something like that)
equals 'AENDERUNG_UEBERNEHMEN'. If so, save the change, set the PK value of your target page to
substr(:REQUEST,1,instr(:REQUEST,'_'))  (to extract the ID)
Afterwards, create a branch that jumps to the target page.
Hope that helps
