We have a bug while using Netscape. On one of our pages we set the focus to a particular text input box. When the user clicks the tab button, a link at the top of the page gains focus. How can implement the javascript to tab to the correct text input box.

Phil You could just use the tabindex property for the HTML elements on the page. It applies to the following elements/tags: A, AREA, BUTTON, INPUT, OBJECT, SELECT, and TEXTAREA. Just assign them a value like this: <input type=text tabindex=1 name=text1> <a href='somepage.html tabindex=2> <input type=text tabindex=1152 name=text2> hope that helps Dave When the page is loaded the order will go from the 1st text box to the hyperlink to the next text box. The numbers don't have to be in order and can go from 0 to 32767.

Thanks for the response. We tried the tabindex but it did not work in older versions of Netscape. I forgot to mention in the last post that the link is in another frame. So we set focus in one frame and when the tab button is clicked focus is sent to the top frame from the bottom frame.

The only other option I can think of is the javascript onKeyPressed event but that is new in 1.2 so it probably wouldn't work in the older browsers either. How 'bout an applet where you would have full control over everything? That may be too much for what you need though.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
