This is only set up to work in FF, and only tested in FF2, but it will
auto-tab to the next input field. It may need some more work if you're doing
more deeply nested elements(ie, you may want to use some root element
instead of element.parentNode), but it should be a decent starting point.

for(var i=0;i<inputs.length-1;i++){ //-1 is so we don't focus past
the end of the list

next = inputs[i+1];
