Fire tab keypress event in JavaScript?

Viewed 38238

I'm trying to simulate an actual tab key press in JavaScript. I don't want to focus on the next element or anything like that, I just want to make it seem like the tab key has been pressed.

The reason why is because I am building a form JavaScript class where I want to be able to use the enter key just like tab. If someone is using a native BROWSER autocomplete, I need to fire the tab key to capture the selected autocomplete response. If I just move to the next input it won't capture their autocomplete selection and leave the field blank.

Any thoughts?
