Hi everyone!

when I tabindex some field-texts of a form this behaves unexpectedly for me,; ie., the indexing of a form’s elements intersects with other window’s fields and even the document object, yet it differs between IE & Mozilla.

Could someone, please, tell me how should I exclusively tabindex a form’s elements so that such tabindexing works equally in both sorts of browsers?
Thank you.

Can you post your form?

But I think you posted the question in the wrong section. Here is about Javascript.

Tabindex is about html

What do you mean by should?

You should leave the tab index alone, mostly because some users
need to use tab to navigate the links and forms on a page.

When you start assigning tabindexes to
elements you break the last-next element relation between controls
in a form and the links and controls outside the form.

Use fieldsets in forms, and lists or divs to contain groups of links
you can skip over or jump to, but please, leave the tabindex alone.

And that behaves identically in the different browsers.
