Re: [PHP] Order of focus for text entry inputs
This has nothing to do with PHP. Find a good HTML reference page on the net and look up input and TABINDEX http://www.idocs.com/tags/forms/_INPUT_TABINDEX.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a web page that is generated by a php script and on this page there are several html text entry slots such as echo bSpecial Notes:/binput name=\specialNotes\ size=\65\$prodNotes; on one page. I fill in several of these input slots with default values, but there are about 3-4 that require the user to manually type an answer. I was wondering if there was a way to control which text entry slots the cursor will go to when the user hits tab? Ideally I would like the cursor to automatically move first to the three that require the user to type something, and then move on to the slots that already have a default value. Is this possible in php, I didn't see any reference to giving items focus in the manual? If it is not possible in php, is there some way that I can have this web page (that is being generated by a php script) use javascript to create my desired order of focus? In general I have not seen any javascript inside a php script, although judging from a few other messages, this does seem to be possible. Thanks for any ideas, Andrew V.

From Wilbur (about the INPUT tag) The ACCESSKEY and TABINDEX attributes apply to all input types except hidden. ACCESSKEY specifies a single Unicode character as a shortcut key for giving focus to the form control. Authors can set the access key on the INPUT element or the LABEL element associated with it. Entities (e.g. eacute;) may be used as the ACCESSKEY value. The TABINDEX attribute specifies a number between 0 and 32767 to indicate the tabbing order of the element. A form control with TABINDEX=0 or no TABINDEX attribute will be visited after any elements with a positive TABINDEX. Among positive TABINDEX values, the lower number receives focus first. In the case of a tie, the element appearing first in the HTML document takes precedence. -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA The world is so big and so global now. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
