How to control Tab order??

Applications Forms
#1

Hi!,

help please!

Is there any way to control how the input focus shifts when pressing the TAB key?

I have a form with with several fields in two columns (A and B). Currently jumps from a field in column A to a field in column B then back to column A… and what I want is that it shifts through all the fields in column A then through the fields in column B.

Any suggestions?

What I usually do in this case is create a block for each column instead of telling the block how many columns to use. This way the cursor goes down each block and then to the next block.

block_a 50% Beside
block_b 50% Below

In my opinion, the block/fields/position should make the tab follow, but last time I checked, it did not.

Scott.

Thanks Scott!

I?ll try what you suggest.

I found a HTML code that might do what I want… However, not sure if is possible to use it in ScriptCase… I?m learning html, php by myself also new to SC =/

<html>
<head>
<title>Controlling TAB Order</title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
Field 1 (first tab selection):
<input type=“text” name=“field1” tabindex=1 /><br />
Field 2 (third tab selection):
<input type=“text” name=“field2” tabindex=3 /><br />
Field 3 (second tab selection):
<input type=“text” name=“field3” tabindex=2 /><br />
</form>
</body>
</html>
