You can use onkeydown or onkeypress event to trap the event keycode and then press tab keycode.

Try something like this for the textbox:

HTML

<input type="text" onkeydown="EnterToTab()">

JS code:

JavaScript

function EnterToTab(){
  if (event.keyCode==110)
    event.keyCode=9;
  }

Pick the appropriate keycode from here: Javascript Char Codes (Key Codes)[^] - Looks like it's 110 for your case.

PS: This is not suggestible as Enter and Tab have two different functions to perform and playing with them like this not good.
