Problem: The tab key does not not skip pages.
Context:
Imagine a three page pdf form. On page 1 we have two fields and on page three we have a field. Entering data into field 1 and hitting the tab key sets the focus to field 2. But, hitting the tab key on field 2 does not advance to field 3 because page 2 does not contain any fields.
In my case, sets of fields are often "skipped" during data entry. A skipped field is one that has been set to readonly. In a readonly state, the field is not available and is ignored when tabbing through the form. The problem occurs when a skip sequence renders *all* fields on a page readonly.
Any clever ideas as to how to get around this? I like that I'm relying on the built in tab function because that has helped to keep my code somewhat clean. If I have to manage the tabbing by explicitly setting the focus, I'll introduce a lot of complexity that I don't currently have to deal with.
Thanks,
Bill
