Tabbing Through Form Selections

When making a form, I select radio buttons to force a user to select 1 choice. When tabbing through the selections, often my tab goes to the first choice and no more, but sometimes my tab goes works through the choices. The actual selection is correct, it is an either or, but the tabbing is what bothers me, I want it to work one way or the other - tab through all selections or tab one and move to the next in line in the form. (I even copy/pasted another radio button that was working like most of the others on the form and renamed it to what I wanted but that still did not fix the issue.) Any ideas?

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.

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.

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.

Windows 7 alt tab through a selection of open programs

I wonder if it is possible to natively or with some hack to make <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> only cycle through a sub-set of the currently active programs? In other words, I have 15 windows/programs open and wish to cycle through
say photoshop, illustrator and sublime text.

Well, the touch problem was first observed with Firefox Version 21. The Versions 21 to 23 offers the workaround with opening and closing a new tab. Since Version 24 also the workaround didn't work anymore and the problem, that the multitouch gestures zooms the hole browser window is still present. Maybe this makes it clear for now. So would be helpful if anybody could give me a real hint how to overcome these problem.

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 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.

"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.

Tabbing through a form with multiple pages!!!!! FIX!!

Hi everyone, I have a fix for this tricky issue of tabbing through a form that has multiple pages.
1. You'll need to go to the "master page" and add as many pages as you have "body pages".
2. Click the Object Veiw Tab and set the Occurence of the page to Max 1 and click the box with the instruction Include In Page Numbering.
3. Do this for each page of the form that you have.
4. The tabbing now should move from the 1st to 2nd to however many pages you have Master and Body Pages for.
Glad I could figure this out! Goodluck!

Thanks for the reply. Since my post to this topic I discovered some things about tabbing. With out adding another master page but just keeping the one and making sure that it's occurance is set to a minimum of one and including master page in the numbering it will work as long as the order of fields in the hierarchy tab matches the order in the position of the fields.
I have a subForm that has a row of fields starting with a button then several text fields. I couldn't tab to the next page because the button was at the bottom of the hierarchy and it wasn't until I moved it to the top that I could finally tab to the next field on the next page. I also discovered that with a one page dynamic interactive form that has some expand able text fields in it and when the field expands so that any fields are pushed to a new second page tabbing seems to not work. In other words when I tab out of that field that is suppose to expand and a new page is added to the form the tabbing quits and in order for it to resume I have to click in a field and from then on it work even if it gets to where a third page and so forth is added. It is just when a one page (in my case) form turns into multiple pages for the first time.
Hope that makes sense.

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.

How to control tabbing in forms

I created a Flash form with a combination of input text boxes
and combo boxes however I cannot figure out how to get them to tab
through in order. I have changed the order on the time line, that
doesn't help, the names do not appear to have an effect. I would
like the user to enter data and or select information from the
combo box and then tab to the next box in sequence. Not jump all
over the page when tabbing through the form.
Can someone help me?

Thank you Rob. I didn't know where to look. I did figure out
the text boxes but not the combo boxes, but it works and looks
better than it did before.
Thanks again...

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.
Thanks

Tabbing through Radio Dials in 7.1

Does Designer 7.1 address the issue in 7.0 of not being able to tab through individual radio dials within a form? Currently, in forms I've created in 7.0, I can only tab to the first radio dial within a Radio Button Group, but not each individual dial within the group.
Thanks!
Katherine Johns

It still behaves like that in 7.1 and it's also the way it's intended to behave. It's pretty typical for any application I can think of to tab into the group and then use the array keys to select the individual option.

In the Control Data of FS00 there is field 'Authorization Group'
Please Create an Authorization Group for those user ID who can post TDS entries.
then Maintain this group for TDS related GL.
Then others will not able to post to this GL.

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.
