anti-spam feature and tab order

randy270 05 Jan, 2009
I just came across a niggling issue with Chronoforms that for which I can't find a solution.

Our client noticed that when tabbing through a form, they couldn't seem to tab into the Anti-Spam captcha field. As it happens, it is possible, but on IE7, the tab order goes from the last item in the form before the captcha to the links built into the page. Eventually, you will tab into the captcha, but only after many tabbings. This isn't an issue with Firefox on the Mac, since you can't tab over the links in the page.

Is there any way to set the tab order in the Anti-Spam feature so that it fall into the proper order?

Thanks.

Hi randy270,

Have you tried setting tabindex attributes for the fields?

Yes, all the other fields have tabindex numbers, but you can't apply one to the anti-spam field. You can only turn the feature on an off within the form and after putting in the {imageverification} tag in the HTML. Can I apply a tabindex to that tag? Am I missing something?

Hi randy270,

No, you aren't missing anything. I'm just not thinking straight. You coudl try hacking the core code and setting a high tabindex - 999 and see if that works. Or I guess it must be possible to do it with JavaScript . . .
