Never tried it but you might look into it. Sounds like it would only work on version 5.5, 6 browsers.<br /> -dk</p> Wed, 19 Feb 2003 23:28:38 +0000 dk01 comment 1125740 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/override-tabchange-focus-browser-behaviour-form-elements#comment-1125575 <p>well yeah i understand that, but this is for my exclusive use. i edit alot of templates through a web form for many sites i manage, yet i have to copy and paste to a text editor (and back) because i can't tab in the textareas.</p> <p>i'd never try to change such a thing for other users, this is for my own sanity.</p> Mon, 17 Feb 2003 22:59:47 +0000 ROB comment 1125575 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/override-tabchange-focus-browser-behaviour-form-elements#comment-1125571 <p>you probably could find a way around it but you shouldn't, the tab is there for a reason and people with screen readers etc rely on the tab to get around sites (some people can't/don't use a mouse).<br /> just make a note saying put \t where they want a tab and use your code to suit.</p> Mon, 17 Feb 2003 22:11:38 +0000 Busy comment 1125571 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
