Hi,
I have three columns of textfields and several rows. Currently, when tab is pressed the cursor tabs from left to right. I want to know if there is a quick way to make the tab move from top to bottom
thanks

I'm not sure about a quick way...........

Using Javascript, you can use the onKeyDown event for the tab key, and use this to move to the field you want.

Use the "tabindex (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#adef-tabindex)" attribute.
