I'm not too sure why this doesn't work :S

I have tabindexes on the input fields on this page, but tabbing through the fields, it doesn't follow them. Any ideas?

Clicky


Edit: Username and password are both 'beta'

I'm not sure what you mean: on tabindex, when I tab through the fields it goes from one field to the next just fine. Keep in mind that tabindexing goes through the fields set by the browser first, then to what you set as tabindex="1". Also, Opera treats tabindex completely differently than other browsers. The default ignores it completely.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear - in Firefox, the tab through works upto the Message field, then if you tab again, it takes you to the search box instead of the checkbox.

Just checked it in FF, and it doesn't skip the checkbox. However, it does skip your search box; might want to check your code there.

Aye, I changed that late last night. For me, it jumps straight from the Message field to the Google ad. :S

Well, I can't reproduce the problem, so my first question is: What version of FF are you using? Does the problem happen only in FF?

I looked through your code, and can't find in the HTML anything that would cause what you're describing, and you've apparently validated it. This is obviously not anything in CSS's domain. My recommendation then is to post this in the javascript forum, to see if anything in your linked scripts might be the culprit.

Latest version - 2.0. I've tried it in Safari and I get the same problem. Will have a go on another machine.

OK, so I've found the following:

It works in Opera on Mac, Firefox on PC and IE6 and IE7 on PC

I get the issue in Firefox and Safari on Mac.

Can anyone else with a Mac confirm if the problem exists in Firefox and Safari? Perhaps it's just my system.
