Insert and overwrite mode on a form

[kevin plummer]

Is there any way on a form to set editing fields to overwrite?

I'm finding if I am on a field and make a change (some refreshing and server side code will run) when I tab to the next field the cursor is in insert mode at the end of the field. If I tab to that field without making any changes then the value in that field is highlighted in overwrite mode. Is there any way to force overwrite all the time?

Cheers,

Kevin

I didn't find an obvious way to do it.

Hi Bruce,

I'm also looking for a way to set "overwrite mode" on form fields.
Same issue as Kevin.
Is there already a way to do this?

My customers don't like it, when they have changed a lookup field, and they tab to the next field, that the cursor in the next field is at position 1 (insert mode).
When they don't change a lookup field, and they tab to the next field, then the next field is in "overwrite mode" and that's what they want, so that they can start typing immediately.

Hope there is some trick now to do this. ;-)

Best regards
Jeffrey
