Strange Tab-key behaviour
« on: June 09, 2009, 12:42:56 PM »
Hi,
When, in af orm, I use the Tab-key to go to the next entry field, the cursor mysteriously jumps back to the field I am attempting to leave. Then I Tab again and all is well.
What's going on here???

The field you are tabbing off is being "auto validated".
ie the value is being sent to the server, and the server is sending back an updated version of the value.

When the new one arrives it grabs the focus (in some, but not all, browsers.)

This is something I'm looking into for version 5.

Cheers
Bruce

Can I change the default setting for this?

At this stage you can set the default for each _form_ but not overall for the whole app.
