Hello -
I have been working on a web application and am having trouble with a form.

The form has many different controls...text boxes, drop down lists, buttons, controls that are not enabled and controls that are read only.

I have used the tab index to direct the form to follow a specific order. However, the first problem is that the control (text box) that has the tab index at "0" does not have the focus when entering the form. When I manually put the cursor at that textbox and tab, it does not go to tab index "1". It places the focus on a button that is used to enter another form. After that it does not proceed to tab index "2" it goes to the address line, and after that it goes to the top portion of my screen which is another form. I believe the textbox marked as tabindex "0" is the 5th or 6th tab position.

I have tried to avoid these controls by putting the tabindex to higher numbers and even to negative numbers. Nothing works. I would like to avoid the cursor going to the address line at all.

Can someone please help.

- Maria
