Thanks for posting that wendy. I'm going to close this thread now. It has run long enough and probably has all the information anyone could need to sort out any issues with tab index. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-tab-order#post-61058 Thu, 31 May 2012 20:25:35 +0000 wendy 61058@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Just wanted to add that while checking into the tabindex issue on a WordPress site of my own. I added the filter and then noticed that after the two first fields, tabbing wanted to cycle through "wp-admin/about.php," "wp-admin," "wp-admin/comments.php" and other pages found within the WordPress admin area before moving through the remaining fields in the form. After realizing this (the status bar gives it away), I logged out of WordPress completely and then everything was fine. I removed the filter from the functions file and everything was still fine. The take-away is that when testing, log out of WordPress first to understand the actual user experience. ;) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-tab-order#post-53952 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 11:55:10 +0000 ucwriters 53952@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The code worked like a charm on my site!

This works to emulate a true column layout, but doesn't allow for tabbing down vertically as though the fields were in true columns. </p> <p>What you could do is use strategically placed HTML blocks to add divs around groups of fields and then float the groupings right and left. That way the fields are technically in order and will tab properly, but still grouped in a container and presented in a columnar format.</p> <p>An example of using the HTML blocks this way can be found in the thread below.. it was specifically about adding fieldsets, but it could be any container type element.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/fieldsets#post-17019" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/fieldsets#post-17019</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-tab-order#post-26345 Wed, 25 May 2011 19:59:51 +0000 TerminalAddict 26345@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a good reason for tabindex I think</p> <p>I'm using gf_right_half and gf_left_half and would really really like the tabbing to go down left_half, then down right_half.</p> <p>I could add to my functions file (which I probably will in this instance) but it seems like this could be quite a common thing for me.</p> <p>This is only because with left_half and right_half I have reorder the fields, I guess left_half and right_half css could be rewritten so I don't have to reorder fields? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-tab-order#post-24460 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 17:50:20 +0000 Carl Hancock 24460@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You need to make sure you are using the gform_tabindex hook correctly. Here is documentation for this hook:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_tabindex" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_tabindex</a></p> <p>It does work and shouldn't care any errors, however depending on how/where you implement it you could implement it incorrectly. It needs to go in your themes functions.php file, probably at the bottom to avoid any issues. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-tab-order#post-24450 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 17:12:53 +0000 alevith 24450@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey all,<br /> Yet another tabindex issue. I copied and pasted the code above, as told to do, and id wasnt as simple as that. I pasted it into my functions.php. Referenced the id number and it parsed errored my site. GREAT! So i took that out. Any new ideas on how to fix? Im using the twentyten parent theme, so its not something crazy. Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-tab-order#post-23355 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 11:30:08 +0000 evinsmj 23355@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, all, </p> <p>Sorry for the delayed response but I just came across this topic. I am also having a problem with the tab order. I have a form on the sidebar to join a mailing list, but also a contact page for quote requests. On that page is where I'm running into problems. The mailing list signup is ID #1 and here is my code:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_tabindex_1&#39;, create_function(&#39;&#39;, &#39;return 20;&#39;));</code></pre> <p>I originally started with 4 as the number (as shown above) but that didn't work so I started playing with the numbers. However, it looks like there isn't a number to make this work.</p> <p>The URL in question is: <a href="http://www.pptdoctor.net/contact/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pptdoctor.net/contact/</a></p> <p>Thoughts? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-tab-order#post-13945 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 15:18:57 +0000 Chris Hajer 13945@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't think the single vs. double quote matters here. In PHP, if you use single quotes, PHP won't parse the string for variables. Since there are no variables in these strings, it shouldn't matter if you use single or double here (other than double using a little more memory or processing time: the functionality would be the same.)</p> <p>Putting it in functions.php for your active theme is correct.</p> <p>Which form are you trying to set the tabindex for? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-tab-order#post-13944 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 15:13:37 +0000 scottbothel 13944@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>thanks, brian, I had tried it both ways as I have seen it both way (single vs. double quotes). Still no luck. Should be able to just drop it into the functions.php file right? I have it at the end of the file and the function right above it works...so I'm stumped. </p>
