TABINDEX

Hi,
I have got a query for which I am trying to get a solution for about two days now.
I have got a web form with a lot of input types like text, textarea, radio, select. And all these are overlayered with a transparent div. To avoid user interaction.
Each input type has got a corresponding link by which on clicking, the div over it will be removed and data can be entered into that input.
Consider this scenario. If I want to edit one textarea at the top of the page I ll be clicking the link for it and the div over it will be removed. Now if I press the tab key it will go to the next input type which is covered with the div and the user can type in even if that input type is covered with the div. That should not happen. So I gave the tabindex for all the input types as -1. But in IE its not working for radio buttons. For mozilla, its perfect. So I gave tabIndex -40000 for radio button only. I read somewhere that it will work. And it did. But as always, the next issue.... if I click the link for any radio button, the div over it will be removed. But now if I press the tab key it will go to the next radio button over which there is a div.
I cant disable these input types and I strivctly have to use these over lays to restrict user interaction..How can I solve this issue. Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance...

You could consider using Flash Foms which gives you access to the "Enabled" Attribute. It's a boolean value that when set to false does not allow the user to interact with the control. This way you could do away with the invisible divs completely and enable and disable controls without having to refresh the page and your tabs can stay the way they are.

Use of the block quote element can cause ePubecheck to give the error "text not allowed here". Text must not be alone inside of a body tag and if it is not enclosed in some other block level tag, this may lead to the error you are receiving.

Spry tabbed panels and "The tag: "li" doesn't have an attribute: "tabindex" ..."

Hi,
I've been using the DW CS4 "Spry Tabbed Panels" on a few pages. When I validate the website (with DW tool for that), I get the following messages for each use of the tabbed panels: The tag: "li" doesn't have an attribute: "tabindex" in currently active versions. [XHTML 1.0 Transitional].
Should I worry about this? I'd like to have a code as clean and XHTML valid as possible. Is there a way to fix this so the message doesn't come up anymore?

If validation is important to you, you need to remove tabindex. Should you worry about it? Not really. Sometimes it makes sense to ignore validation to achieve a particular goal, which is why Spry widgets use tabindex in a technically invalid way.
The explanation as to why Spry does that can be found here: http://blogs.adobe.com/spryteam/2007/03/spry_widgets_and_tab_index.html.

TabIndex problems in custom components

Hello, all!
I don't quite understand tab navigation. I have two custom
components: a link button and a text box. I need to be able, at the
component level, to give the textBox.swc instances tab
functionality (tab advances to the next one, shift-tab goes to the
previous). The linkButtons are movieClips, so that they can be
dynamically positioned. Is it possible to set focus on something
like that? From what I've read it is. But, I can't seem to get it
working using the same techniques I've used before for this
component-level tabbing.
Just setting their tabIndexes doesn't work. The textBox
component has a textBox embedded in a movieClip, and that component
is, in turn, embedded into another movieClip. I dont think that
second movieClip is the problem. I think it's that we have a
textBox (created using this.createTextField("_textbox",
getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, textWidth, textHeight) that we then
dynamically give a tab index from a parameter, but all that does is
highlight all text when tab is pressed.
Does tabIndex work on multiple layers? For example, can I do
it per movieClip? If so...that would be my problem.
Thank you for the help!

I've found my problem. My custom components have to implement the interface NamingContainer.

Datagrid item renderer numberstepper tabIndex

I have a datagrid with a item renderer in it that contains a
numberStepper. There are two columns that have number steppers in
them. If I hit tab when I am in the first number stepper I want it
to tab to the second one. I have tried setting a tabIndex and I
can't get it to tab? Any thoughts?

Here is my Scenario, in my datagrid the second column of the first row (987.93) background color depends upon some condtion. The remaning rows of column B depends upon the column C . If "the column C is OK" it will be green , "NOT OK" red. But the first row's second column color depends upon some other condition. How can i achieve this ?

How to change the "TabIndex" of Controls?

Hello,
there are serval string/number input controls on a front panel, and I want to change the tab indics of them, because some users prefer to use "Tab"-Key than using mouse by inputing and the order of these control is really not logical. But I could not find any settings as "TabIndex", is there any way to do it?
Thanks a lot!
Le
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Go to Edit>>Set Tabbing Order
Also if you want to skip a control right click the control and go Properties>>Key Navigation and select the skip when tabbing option

Tabindex not working in contact form (AS2)

Hey everyone,
I have a contact form on my site for which the text inputs are created via AS2. This works fine but I cannot get the tabbing to work (or even have any effect) no matter what I do. I have a menu that sometimes displays at the top, sometimes on the left and sometimes at the bottom. If it's at the top or bottom then the form tabbing works fine, however if it's down the side then when i tab from contact_namefield it goes to the 8th menu option, then the 9th menu option, then contact_emailfield then contact_messagefield. Similarly if i tab from the top of the menu it's goes down sequentially to menu option 7, then to contact_namefield, then menu option 8, then menu option 9 then contact_emailfield then contact_messagefield. I cannot for the life of me work out how to change this, I would rather avoid setting tabenabled=false for every other element on the page (as i'd still like these to be tabbed), but either way I don't think this will fix it as the tabindexes i've specified seem to be having no affect at all, no matter what values i put in (even if i reverse them) the tab order is always exactly the same. I am using the following code and would be so grateful if anyone could point out what i'm doing wrong as I can't for the life of me figure it out!
var currfont=_root.textfont; var inputcol = "0x" + _root.textcolour;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = false;
my_fmt.font = "Arial";
my_fmt.color = inputcol; createTextField("contact_namefield", getNextHighestDepth(),112.6, 29, 174, 20);
contact_namefield.wordWrap = true;
contact_namefield.multiline = false;
contact_namefield.border = true;
contact_namefield.borderColor = inputcol;
contact_namefield.type = "input";
contact_namefield.setNewTextFormat(my_fmt);
contact_namefield.text = "";
contact_namefield.tabEnabled=true;
contact_namefield.tabindex = 0; createTextField("contact_emailfield", getNextHighestDepth(),112.6, 74, 174, 20);
contact_emailfield.wordWrap = true;
contact_emailfield.multiline = false;
contact_emailfield.border = true;
contact_emailfield.borderColor = inputcol;
contact_emailfield.type = "input";
contact_emailfield.setNewTextFormat(my_fmt);
contact_emailfield.text = "";
contact_emailfield.tabEnabled=true;
contact_emailfield.tabindex = 1; createTextField("contact_messagefield", getNextHighestDepth(),112.6, 120.3, 174, 125.6);
contact_messagefield.wordWrap = true;
contact_messagefield.multiline = false;
contact_messagefield.border = true;
contact_messagefield.borderColor = inputcol;
contact_messagefield.type = "input";
contact_messagefield.setNewTextFormat(my_fmt);
contact_messagefield.text = "";
contact_messagefield.tabEnabled=true;
contact_messagefield.tabindex = 2;
Thanks so much for your help as ever everyone,
Dave

assign a tabIndex for each object that's tabEnabled.

TabIndex doesn't work with MovieClipLoader

Hi, not sure if this is a common issue with flash or
something to do with my file, but no tab indexing is working when I
load swfs using the MovieClipLoader class.
The tab indexes I am declaring are only for btns in the main
swf, if I delete the MovieClipLoader actions, the tabIndexing works
fine.
Any ideas?
Any help greatly appreciated
Cheers
Dave

Hi Sanjit,
I've tried this on multiple PCs and get the same problem everywhere.
See picture with IE11 and chrome.

Set tabindex in application

Hi All,
How to set tabindex in all application pages without defining in every page_item and button? My flow is first page_item and after that button. It is possible?
Thanks

Hi,
Shiv wrote:
I have many textfield, select list or textarea and button. My requirement is after all page item focus goes on button. It is possible using tabindex="n". but i have to provide in each page item and button. So it is possible to set automatic tabindex?By default, the tab index is the order of the fields on the page. If the button is positioned after all the items, the focus should automatically go there. If that is not the case, please explain where the focus is going to after the last item.
Do you have only one button per page?
In any case, I think the only way to achieve it would be somehow identify the last item and the button in the page and use some Javascript to set the tabindex attribute dynamically in a page zero dynamic action.

TabIndex not working in 2004 Pro

Hi,
I'm trying to get my tabIndex set up to tab through a series
of buttons within a movie clip on my _root timeline.
I have a movie clip called "menuoptions" on the _root then
within that I have a number of buttons called "menu1" etc.
I have tried the following but it does not work.
menuoptions.tabChildren=true;
menuoptions.tabEnabled=false;
menuoptions.menu1.tabIndex = 1;
menuoptions.menu2.tabIndex = 2;
menuoptions.menu3.tabIndex = 3;
I have only had this problem since starting to use 2004 Pro
is there something else I need to do?
Thanks

Yeah, tried that had no effect.
I have now stopped publishing for Flash Player 8 and
Actionscript 2.0 and published the movie as Flash Player 8 and
Actionscript 1.0 and it now works fine using just the accessibilty
settings.
Very strange.

What is the best way to manage tabIndex

Hallo. I am trying to understand what is the best way to manage the taborder inside flex. If, in my application there are several account and thus several states (1 for each account) i can prepare my states so that some components are visible and some not.. The problem is that, for each state the taborder can change even if the objects are the same.. What is the best way to manage tabIndex relatively to the different states in which the objects are?
Thx
Max

I liked tab order very much (top to bottom, left to right) ..but because of the problem i had and you answered here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/971994?tstart=0
I cannot use tab order because, in that group that focus goes from object n to 1 and the only way to solve the issue is to set tabIndex manually.. Is there another way??.. It seems like tabIndex setted manually has precedence on native taborder so i think i have to manage all the state with manual tabIndex isnt'it??.. Or maybe ia have another way?
Thx for the answer

How to set TabIndex in jsp fragments embeded in jsp

After googling a little bit I can find a way to set the tabIndex in my jsp fragments which are embeded in a jsp. I'm working with JSF and project woodstock.
I have embeded the fragment like this:
<div style="border-bottom: solid rgb(5, 5, 158) 1px; top: 1289px; position: absolute">
<jsp:directive.include file="myFragment.jspf"/>
</div>I'll be really gratefull for your help.

try this:
your.jsp
<html>
<SCRIPT>function buttonClick()
{document.compform.submit();}
</SCRIPT>
<body>
<form name=compform method=post action='your.jsp'>
<%
//write your code which you want to execute once the button is submitted
String submit;
submit=request.getParameter("mysubmit");
if ((submit != null) && (! submit.equals("")))
%>
<input type=hidden name=mysubmit value="submit">
<input type=button value=add onclick='buttonClick()'>
</form></body></html>

Tabindex in forms on mobile?

Is it possible to enable/use the tab function of the softkeyboard?
Just setting the tabindex on inputfields won't do the job unfortunately.

Hey RiaanP,
I've had a little luck in this area, but it's nothing to get too excited over. Here's what I've done:
Set tabEnabled & tabChildren to FALSE for my parent display object
Add a KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP event listener to that same component
In my event handler, check to see if event.keyCode == Keyboard.TAB || event.keyCode == 16777230 (16777230 is the Nook's "next" key's code)
Ask FocusManager which component is currently focused (via getFocus())
Manually call .setFocus() on the next item that should be focused
This is obviously a little dirty but it's worked...okay...for me, for now. I hope you're able to find a better solution. If you do, please share it back here!
