Need to set the tab order in HTMLB controls

Question

I readed in another thread that it was not possible to set the tab order in HTMLB controls on BSP forms.
However it was possible to do a little workaround, by setting the tooltip property, and put in the tabindex in that. Because Browsers do understand the property tabindex.
Examble:
<htmlb:inputField id="authorfname1"
tooltip='tooltip1" tabindex="2'
value = "<%= authorfname %>" />
HTML Output would be like this:
<input title="tooltip1" tabindex="2" class="sapEdfTxtEnbl"
size="20" name="authorfname1" id="authorfname1" value="">
<b>It works a little bit differently in my HTMLB controls.</b> Output is like this:
<input title="tooltip1&quot; tabindex=&quot;2" class="sapEdfTxtEnbl"
size="20" name="authorfname1" id="authorfname1" value="">
<i>It doesn't work. " becomes &quot; <b>How do I solve this?</b></i>

thanks for sharing the info.
to handle your issue you could do the following
<% data: replace_string type string .
clear replace_string .
replace_string = `<input  tabindex="2"`.
              %>
              <bsp:findAndReplace find    = "<input"
                                  replace = "<%= replace_string                  %>" >
               <htmlb:inputField id="authorfname1"
tooltip="tooltip1"
value = "<%= authorfname %>" />
              </bsp:findAndReplace>
Hope this helps.
