AutoTab for rails asset pipeline

Autotab is a jQuery plugin that provides auto tabbing and filtering on text fields in a form. Once the maximum number of characters has been reached within a text field, the focus is automatically set to a defined element. Likewise, clearing out the text field's content by pressing backspace eventually places the focus on a previous element.

The autotab-rails gem integrates the AutoTab with the Rails asset pipeline.

Usage

Install autotab-rails gem

Include autotab-rails in Gemefile

gem 'autotab-rails'

Include autotab javascript assets

$("#third").autotab
