 Hi,

I have a form with different controls, including several drop-down lists. The tab-index is -1 for a few text fields and 0 for the rest of controls. Tabbing through the form moving from one field to the next works as expected for all controls except one drop-down list. For some values in the list the cursor jumps back to the first field in the form, but not for all values. First of all I don’t want the cursor to move back to the top of the form, I want it to move to the next field. And second, why only for some values, but not all? I’ve tried forcing the tab-sequence setting the tab-index for each field, but that didn’t make any difference.

Does anyone have an explanation on this behavior? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello,

Tab Index works like below,

-1 = Tab is not move to this field. It will jump to the next field after this field.

0 = Tab default it goes by order. Tab will reach this field by order placed in UI.

1 = Tab is forced to move this field. If you have field tab value 1 then by default cursor will be in this field.

We can give tab order also like 1, 2, 3 .. for each field to move the tab like our specified order.

Hi,

 Thank you for your answer.

The thing is, I've tried giving the tab order 1, 2, 3 etc, but the cursor still jumps back to the first field in the form for some of the values in the drop-down list. The first field has tab-index 0.
