Title: Tab order on a form
Post by: ianburgess on June 22, 2012, 06:35:43 AM

I have a form with a number of entry fields and droplists. I wish to change the default tab order and have tried putting details in the "When accepted, set focus" box in the template but this seems not top have any effect?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

change it in the sense that the fields will not flow from top-left to bottom-right?

cheers

Exactly.  I have several columns and several rows and want the tab order to go down each field in a column and then move to the top of the next column.
is this possible?

Thanks

Ian

this field is an expression, like most template entries, so you need to put quotes around the field name. ie not
mai:password
but
'mai:password'

Thanks, I tried that but still when you tab, it goes to next field on same row.
