HTML Forms

Here's a nice easy HTML tip for you - one you can use with your forms.

I'm referring to the TABINDEX element. TABINDEX allows you to control the order each item on your form is processed.


Here's the code:

<table width="50%" border="0"><tbody><tr><td><input type="text" tabindex="1" value="First" /></td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" tabindex="5" value="Fifth" /></td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" tabindex="3" value="Third" /></td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" tabindex="4" value="Fourth" /></td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" tabindex="2" value="Second" /></td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" tabindex="6" value="Sixth" /></td></tr></tbody></table></form>

Click on the link below to see the form in action (It will open in a new window).http://www.instant-web-site-tools.com/tabindex.html

Now you can design your forms so they are nicely displayed and "force" the user to process each item in the order you want!
