Cannot tab through fields in a VBean

Hello,
We have a VBean, basically a Java Applet which has sucessfully been integrated into our forms environment.
Unfortunately tabbing in the browser only moves the focus between the Oracle Forms fields and at no point can the use tab into the VBean.
This is somewhat counter intuitive if the a control in the VBean already has the focus.
Is there a way to make the tab order work correctly within the VBean ?
thanks
David

Key Events
Keystrokes from form items and bean area items in a Forms applet should produce consistent results. By default, Ctrl+K invokes the runtime Keys help screen for the form item that has focus. Tab moves the input focus from the current to the next form item. Shift+PageDown moves the input focus to the first form item in the next block. By default, however, keystrokes on bean area items do not produce these results.
To maintain consistent input focus and keystroke navigation in a Forms applet that contains a bean area, send most keystrokes from a bean area to the server using the KeyListener, KEY_EVENT registered property, and the mHandler.setProperty(KEY_EVENT, e) method. The server then performs the appropriate action. For example, pressing Ctrl+K causes the server to display the runtime Keys help screen for the bean area that has focus and pressing Shift+PageDown causes the server to move the focus to the first form item in the next block.
In some bean area keyboard navigation, however, it is important to not send certain keystrokes—some instances of Tab and Shift+Tab—to the server, depending on the position of the component in the bean area. The general rule is to send all bean area keystrokes to the server that should move the focus from the bean area. For keystrokes that move the focus between components in the same bean area, for example, Tab and Shift+Tab, do not send the keystrokes to the server.
Sending Tab and Shift+Tab keystrokes from a bean area component to the server causes the server to move the focus from the bean area to the next or previous form item respectively. With this in mind, there are situations where Tab and Shift+Tab keystrokes should be sent to the server: for the first component in a bean area, send Shift+Tab to the server, and for the last component in a bean area, send Tab to the server.
It is the responsibility of the developer to program what keystrokes are sent and what keystrokes are not sent to the server for components in a bean area.

"Text Boxes" (comments) in my form are included in "tabbing" through fields while filling in a form

I have included several text boxes (not text fields) in my form. They are adjacent to the fields that are being filled in and serve various comment functions that I do not want in the printed form at the end.
If the user "tabs" through the fields to enter data in the next field the 'text boxes' (comments) are included in the tab stops... I can not see where to turn that off. I want the tab order key to ignore the comment fields - the text boxes. They are not even listed in the tab order menu.
Also - is there a way a field that shows up multiple times in a form (duplicate field) can be skipped by the tabbing through IF it aleady has data in it?

I'm not aware of any app that will translate the form fields from Word to the iPad. My guess is that you're going to have to recreate the forms on the iPad. The best app that I've found for doing this is FormConnect http://http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/formconnect/id432653695?mt=8&ls=1. It's a very simple app for creating check boxes and text fields.

How do I fix tabbing through fields flow in order?

In my form, I have mutliple text field boxes. Sometimes, when I tab through the fields, one is skipped (not in sequence). How do I fix that so the tabs flow in order? For example, when I ask for:
City:
State:
Zip:
instead of going in order, the tab will go to:
City:
Zip:
State:

In the Heirarchy palette, if you change the Tab order No for one field, then rest of the form tab order wil lbe reset. This is a common functionality.
When you go to View menu -> Show Tab Order, it will open up a splash screen with the simple instructions on setting the tab order.
You can select the field in the Tab order palette on the left and drag it UP/ DOWN as needed to move it in the correct order.

Xcelsius 2008 Tabbing Through Fields

I am looking for a way to make my PDF Xcelsius 2008 Dashboards 508 compliant by using the keyboard to be able to tab through and select fields. Is this possible and, if so, how? Also, how would I select the tab order of the input fields? Thank you.

Ah! Huge mistake on my part. I got excited at seeing my problem that I missed the "PDF" part of the original description (ours is a swf file posted online) and it seems our company upgraded to Dashboard Design 6.0.0.0 without my awareness.
I've created a new discussion for my particular issue here: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3269033
My apologies for the confusion.

Tabbing through fields skips time

As I enter new events on my calendar I usually tab from field to field but about 90% of the time iCal will skip over the time and go from the 'all-day' checkbox directly to am or pm. Is there a way to force it to go to the time so that I don't have to go back and click on it?

Mac users, go to your System Pref. go to your keyboard settings. click on keyboard shortcuts. OS X 10.6
At the bottom you have the choice; text boxes and lists only, or all controls.

Tabbing through fields when composing message

When composing a message,I usually enter the recipient, tab to the CC field, then tab to the Subject field, then tab to the body of the message. Now when I hit Tab after the Subject, it highlights the three pull-down menus below, "Customize," "Account" and "Signature." It's a pain — I just want to Tab directly to the body of the email and start typing!
I looked through Mail prefs, but can't find anything to change this behavior.
Mail version 2.1.3, OS 10.4.11

I don't know why the behavior would change. Open the Keyboard and Mouse preferences, click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and scroll down to the "Move between controls ...." entry. Be sure it is checked ON. You can then use the indicated shortcut to alter behavior and see if that fixes your problem.

Tabbing through fields

Does anyone know how to keep the cursor in a field until data is entered in it? I have 4 forms attached to this one form, so I cannot use the form level "Defer Required Enforcement" option. Using this option will not allow me to exit the form until the required fields are entered. I want the user to be able to exit to a lookup table but when they are doing data entry, I don't want them to pass the required fields. HELP!

Issue tabbing through form fields on Adobe Reader 9.2

Hello everyone. I am having an issue that I am hoping someone can assist me with. We are currently using IE6 and Reader 5.5 in our production environment and we are currently testing IE8 and Adobe Reader 9.2 for deployment. Our company uses a web portal where we have many pdf forms that open within a web browser. The problem we are experiencing is that when tabbing through fields on the pdf, the cursor will eventually cycle down to the end of the form and then start cycling through to the top of the browser (toolbars, address bar, search bar,etc) before finally returning to the pdf document's fields. Is there either a setting in the reader or maybe even IE which controls this functionality and will limit the tabbing to only the pdf form? Or does anyone know of a method of limiting the tabbing functionality to only work within the pdf document itself when opened within a browser?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I have looked through all the reader preferences and do not see anything directly related to this. Thank you very much in advance.

I guess by QTP you mean HP Functional Testing 11. This is really something to take up with HP, it's the job of monitor software not to crash.

Tab through cells in a table created in Pages

In 5.0 when I create a table I cannot tab through the cells. Is there a setting I'm missing here? Why must I use the arrow keys?
Thanks.

Thanks. I hadn't considered that and yes it works but not the same way it did before. Prior to the change if you made a change in the cell you could double tab to move onto the next one. Now you must use option + tab after making the change to go onto the next cell.

Date field automatcailly changing when tabbing through other scripted fields

I have a form with a datetime field. The object is readonly. I format the field with javascript as yyyymmddhhmmss as a tracking number for the form. When tabbing through other fields with javascript the value changes to the current date time, like the code is being executed each time a scripted field is entered.
Any ideas how to prevent that? I just want the code to execute when the form is opened.
----- form1.sbfDirect_Pay.dteCurrentDate::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------
// Current Date in short-style date format.
// $.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt(1, "))
var varCurrentTime = new Date();
var varYear = varCurrentTime.getFullYear();
var varMonth = varCurrentTime.getMonth() + 1;
var varDay = varCurrentTime.getDate();
var varHour = varCurrentTime.getHours();
var varMin = varCurrentTime.getMinutes();
var varSec = varCurrentTime.getSeconds();
if(varMonth<10) varMonth = "0" + varMonth;
if(varDay<10) varDay = "0" + varDay;
if(varHour<10) varHour = "0" + varHour;
if(varMin<10) varMin = "0" + varMin;
if(varSec<10) varSec = "0" + varSec;
// $.rawValue = year + "" + month + "" + day + "" + hour + "" + min + "" + sec;
dteCurrentDate.rawValue = varYear + "" + varMonth + "" + varDay + "" + varHour + "" + varMin + "" + varSec;

I think I just answered my own question. The code was in the layout:ready event. This area is executed each time the layout is modified. I moved the code to form:ready event.

Tabbing through form fields in app doesn't work in Firefox.

Is there a setting in Firefox that permits tabbing through form fields so that one doesn't have to use the mouse? This works fine in IE. for the same app without any configuration, but not in Firefox.

Are you really still running Firefox 3.6? Since it hasn't received any security updates for nine months, you may be putting yourself at risk.
In my experience, tabbing through forms works just fine. Have you tested in Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether the problem is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] by holding the Shift key when you double-click the program icon.
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If tabbing works correctly, this points to an add-on or custom setting as the most likely cause of the problem.

In creating a fillable PDF in XI Pro, can I insert a table which can be tabbed through?

In creating a fillable PDF in XI Pro, can I insert a table which can be tabbed through?

You're in luck. Create the first field and then right-click it (in Form Edit mode) and select Create Multiple Copies. You'll be able to specify how many copies of the fields to generate, and at what intervals. The nice thing is that although the properties of the new fields will be identical to the source one, they'll each have a unique name, so you'll get an instant "table" of fields.

Tabbing through PDF Forms on iPad

I have a stupid question.
I've built a bunch of forms in Acrobat Pro XI, and the company I work for provides everyone with iPads for ease of use. heh.
Our people are using external keyboards for the iPad to fill out these forms and I've been told that the Tab Key on the keyboard does NOT tab through the field. Instead they have to use the Next button on the on-screen keyboard.
Is there a way to get around this? They are using Adobe Reader on their iPads.
I do have an iPad, however, I don't have an external keyboard for it - so I can't troubleshoot this.
Thanks for any help. Oh how I loathe this stupid trend.

ZAGG make a Great KeyBoad Case combination for your iPad. Its slightly miniturized Full sized keyboad it’s a Bluethooh keyboard. And it actually has the same feel as a Standard Laptop keyboard. It doesn't feel like a Chicklet keyboard. I have one for my iPad. The case is made out of Kevlar. The key board uses any unversal Power brick that uses a standard USB connector at the brick ined and the micro USB in key board end. I bought the case for mine along with iPad just after the iPad3 came out I have yet to recharge the keyboard.

Tab between fields when editing song information

iTunes 10.4 removed the ability to tab between fields when editing song information. Is there another shortcut now?

Yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Actually the Tab sequence was reversed in 10.4. I'm upset that it took me until Septeber 2011 to figure it out. For the longest time, probably every release of iTunes. The Tab sequence went (Source-->Tab-->Search Music box-->Tab-->Tracks List)
Now it's the reverse and it's so annoying. I have both Mac and Windows and was able to downgrade my Windows iTunes to 10.3.x (though I had to downgrade to a previous iTunes Library.itl file. I cannot downgrade my Mac iTunes b/c it's my main library and I'd lose historic data by restoring and old iTunes Library.itl file
I've written to Apple about this several times the past few weeks but they've yet to address this. The latest version is 10.5 and it hasn't been restored. I WISH Apple would RESTORE this feature to its ORIGINAL design!!!
