You set the tabindex property which gets rendered as a tabindex attribute of
the html element.
<asp:textbox tabindex=3 ...>
becomes
<input type="Textbox" tabindex=3 ... >
You probably already knew this, but there's nothing else really to know...
you might wanna check out:

also keep in mind that other elements in the browser (like the brower
buttons themeselves) are going to participate in the tabbing experience
which is different that in winforms..

A dumb question: Exactly how does tabbing work in an ASP.NET form in the
browser? Does it work the same was as a Windows Forms form does?
I have a rather complicated ASP form (that consists of HTML tables, ASP
text boxes, drop downs, data grids, etc)... and no matter how I set the TAB
indexes, it never seems to work the way I want it to - sometimes tabbing
all over the place!
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any input...
