GDocs form field focus

Places the cursor in the first text field on a Google Docs form. Useful if you use the form in combination with a barcode scanner for example.

Automate "Submit another response"?

The form field focus script works great. Thanks.

Any chance we can add one more focus changer? I'm checking in/out computer users. After the Google Form submits, I want to automate the TAB-CR sequence needed to return to the form from the confirmation page.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Bruce, I've written a new script that redirects people back to a blank form after displaying the confirmation page for 5 seconds. You can find it here:

Hi Melgior! This is amazing. I am also using your script to place the cursor so students can scan IDs to sign into a school library and those few seconds saved have totally transformed the process.

Is there any possibility of a script that would CLOSE the confirmation page after a few seconds instead of loading a new blank form??

I am using a website with links to pre-populated URLs for the forms so it would really help get my students back to the landing page. Thanks for everything and thanks for considering!

Oh! I think I figured out to do this myself using the function window.close as a modification to your display blank form script above. Thank you for the inspiration!!

Hi Stacy,

Yes, window.close should indeed do the trick. I'm glad my tiny script is useful for you as well!
