Paul, If the elements are tabbable there's really no simple way to avoid them but you certainly can set an explicit order for the subset of elements you'd like to receive the focus first with the tabindex property. Number the ones you want sequentially starting with 1. I haven't tested to see whether elements in the host page will interact with these numbers, but you should be able to find an appropriate sequential range. It's probably overkill but you could set up some javascript (sorry that's not my thing) to cycle the focus back to the start of your tabindex sequence, bypassing the other elements you're not interested in. ::Michael

I have a dialog with a text box, ok, and cancel button. But if you hit the TAB key, you can cycle through ALL the other elements in the page, not just the dialog... creating the possibility for some very confused users. cheers Paul
