Hi kai,
Thank you for using Microsoft Newsgroup Service. Based on your description,
you have some problem with setting the tabindex for the web controls on the
ASP.NET web page. Is my understanding correct.

In asp.net web page, you can set all the controls' tabindex attribute in
the property window, nomatter it's a ASP.NET server control or a html
control. However, since in the web page, some element is unable to get
focus such as text(lable), so you may sometimes feel they are not set focus
as the tabIndex they've been set. Also, I've tested use a simple
aspx page to set tabindex for both server controls and html controls, you
may try out this page to see whether it works:

------------------aspx page--------------------

Dear friends, I am using tabIndex and it works with my IE 5.5, IE6.0, and the NN6 browsers. However, it does not work for NN4. After reading online & seeing in my JavScript Bible that it is NOT COMPATIBLE for NN4,, I am wondering if there is anyone out there with any ideas ,,as to how I may get the same tabbing sequence within NN4 without the use of tabIndex??

The reason why I want to do this is that I will set a form's elements to have a tabIndices. I start out with no tabbing. The page loads the cursor appears in a first Input box and until the user "does something" there is no tabbing. This is specific to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5+. Anyway the issue is that although I set the tabbing order for all the components on the "page," there is one "element" that gets included in the tabbing order...

Hello, I have been playing with various Googled solutions for capturing the <Enter> key to suppress form submission. My first question is whether anyone has a script that works in all common browsers? The script bellow is IE only. It fails FF 1.0 and NN 7. Also, if I can trap the keypress I would like to use it to tab to the next tabindex.

I cannot get the tab settings on an aspx page to work as desired. First of all, I don't see a way to indicate whether a control is a tab stop. There is a tabindex property for labels (why?). When I set a specific order for the tabindex values that does not seem to be what happens on a page when the user presses the tab key? My books on asp.net don't even mention tabindex? How do you control the focus order on an asp.net page?

In VB6, if you set the TabIndex of a control, it would automatically increment the TabIndex of the remaining controls on the form so that there would be no duplication. In VB.net, it seems perfectly legitimate to have two controls on a form with the same TabIndex. Is there a way to mimic the VB6 behavior so that I don't have to reset the TabIndex of every control if I decide to insert a new control in the tab order? Thanks, Bob

I have a form with a variety of controls (TextBox, CheckBox, and Button). I have assigned TabIndex values starting from 1 at the top, working my way down the form to 15 at the bottom. Each of these has TabStop set to true. When I run the application and repeatedly press the tab key, the on-screen focus order is very different than what I thought I specified. If it matters, here is the general layout of my form. As you'll observer, most of...

Hi I have three questions about the Tab Order that's rendered by default on an ASPX page: 1. On a page that's all ordered HTML (instead of absolute positioning), shouldn't the default be that tab order goes by it's order in the page itself? I'm having a strange situation where tab order is jumping down to the bottom of the page and then back up to a higher text box in my form. Could this have something to do with the fact that some of...
