Summary

Specifies whether pressing Return (or Enter) moves to the next field.

Syntax

Description

Use the autoTab property to make data entry easier for single-line fields.

If the autoTab property of a field is false, pressing the Return key moves the insertion point to the next line of the field.

If the autoTab of a field is true, and the insertion point is already at the last visible line of the field, then pressing Return advances to the next field on the card.
