Tabbing through Controls - 2nd post

[Richard]

Tabbing from the first control on a form always sends me to IE's Address Bar
instead of the next control, no matter how I set the TabIndex property for
the controls. Why is this happening?

For example, I have a simple login screen with 2 textboxes (Login ID and
Password) and 2
buttons (Login and Cancel). I've set the TabIndex Property of each control,
starting at 0.

When I enter a login id and then press Tab, the focus goes to IE's Address
Bar instead of the next control! How do I allow the user to reliably cycle
through the controls on a web page?

Don't use zero. Start at 1 and see if that works?

<P>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" tabIndex="1"
runat="server"></asp:TextBox></P>
<P>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox2" tabIndex="2"
runat="server"></asp:TextBox></P>
<P>
<asp:Button id="Button1" tabIndex="3" runat="server"
Text="Button"></asp:Button></P>

It looks like 0 is the value you don't want to use....

"The tab index of the Web server control. The default is 0, which indicates
that this property is not set."

Thank you Ken! This works.
