Answer 1

As @Mr.Alien said, setting MaxLength property will safeguard the text box in having more than 1 character of text. Additionally, You should select the text in the text box while it is getting a focus. It will simplify the process if user starts from the first text box again.

$("input").keyup(function() {

      var input_flds = $(this).next("input");
      input_flds.select().focus();

});

Update:

Implementing the above concept in a selected text box, [Concept: Set a class for the text boxes which you want to apply the need]

$("input").keyup(function() {

    var input_flds = $(this).nextAll(".test:first");
    input_flds.select().focus();

});

//where .test will be your class on the selected text boxes.
