With Fossil 2.6, there's a new "unencrypted connection" security warning in the Login/Logout form, which also has a hyperlink to a secure login page.
In some web browsers, pressing TAB to move the input focus from "User ID" to "Password" sets the focus to this hyperlink, instead of the next form control. I would like to suggest to add "tabindex" attributes to the login form controls, so that it's possible to cycle through the controls in a logical order, i.e. "tabindex=1" for "User ID", "tabindex=2" for "Password", "tabindex=3" for the "Login" button, and maybe "tabindex=4" for the secure login link. As auto-focusing the "User ID" field is unfortunately no longer possible [0], setting a "tabindex" may also have the effect that the "User ID" field can be focused with one single TAB keypress (on some web browsers, this may only work if all other controls have a higher "tabindex", or "tabindex=-1", the latter reducing accessibility).

The hotkeys could be displayed with underlined style in the form labels, to make them visible to the user. Moreover, wrapping the labels for the input fields inside "<label for=id>...</label>" enables another quick way (by clicking the label) to focus an input field with all contents selected. --Florian _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
