I've somehow got this auto-form-extension code
working without the need for either blocking
the tab action plus using focus(), or using tabIndex.

Not sure what I did, but now tab triggers the
onkeydown event, creating the new box, then
the tab behaviour is activating the new box.
I also have an onblur trigger that also creates
the new box unless the onkeydown event has already
created it.

The new box doesn't get the focus after a tab if you
create it in the original box's onchange event. You
have to use the original box's onkeydown/onblur combo.

Hope someone finds this helpful.
