Another dumb question

[Tibby]

I have 2 textboxes and a button on my .aspx form. When I press tab on the
first box, it goes to the addressbar, then to the second box after another
tab. I thought that maybe if I set the tab order this would be fixed, but
no.

TIA

Hi Tibby,

Make sure you set the Tabindex property on each control. You may also want
to check out Andy Smith's FirstFocus control
([url]http://www.metabuilders.com/Tools/FirstFocus.aspx[/url]). I've never used it,
but I've used other controls from Metabuilders and they've worked well.

Good luck!

I agree, and that's why Text1 is TabIndex0, Text2 is TabIndex 1, and
Command1 is TabIndex2. I've noticed on brand new pages things are behaving,
I'm trying to figure out why this page isn't.
