Tab Order in Visual Composer Input Form

[patti_gray]

Hi,

I am trying to set the tab order on my visual composer input form. I enter a number in "tab order" but it does not seem to have any effect on the tab sequences. Tabbing is sequential when I set layout to "horizontal" or "vertical" but not for "absolute". I would like to use the absolute layout - does anyone know why I cannot control tab order?

Thanks.

Hi

Normally 'Tab order' works fine for all the fields & it works as per given in SAP Library. But sometimes it doesn't work so there is workaround which i tried & it works fine in my case. IN the form you have created all the fields, just hide all the fields. & then select one by one as per the sequence you want. It works.

You can go to 'Layout Board' & there also you can arrange the sequence.

Have i understood your problem correctly? or you are looking for something else.

Thanks for the input, - you described my problem exactly. But, I tried hiding all my input fields and then unhiding in the order I wanted, but still does not correct the tab order. No matter what I do, the tab order does not change. I am now looking onto disabling tab order all together, but I can not assign -1 to the tab order for my input fields - the tab order reverts back to zero. Have you had any success with tab order -1.

Hi

Is it working through the 'Layout Board'. There also you can directly change the position of the tabs. Just click on the tab & move it. Or you have tried this also?

yes i too noticed that the value is reset to zero when we use -1 in the tab order, not sure if this is working.
