I could swear that I searched this forum for all content relating to tabindex and that documentation link was not among the returned results.</p> <p>I'll go back and rework my code and add the function to begin the tabindex beyond the tabindex of the wp admin bar. That is cleaner.</p> <p>Just a suggestion. Maybe that could be incorporated into the form settings in the future. I spent way too much time researching and coding a solution, it seems. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-tab-index-issue#post-90016 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 02:56:31 +0000 Chris Hajer 90016@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can set the tabindex for each Gravity Form by setting it in the shortcode when you embed the form, in the widget settings (if you're using a widget) or by using the gform_tabindex filter for one form, or apply it to all forms.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_tabindex" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_tabindex</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-tab-index-issue#post-89548 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 04:53:43 +0000 marjwyatt 89548@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I was having problems tabbing through my new form. I found this post, which led me in the right direction: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/tab-index-on-fields-are-acting-wierd" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/tab-index-on-fields-are-acting-wierd</a></p> <p>The tabbing problem was not another form in a widget, however. The WordPress Admin bar also uses tabindex, apparently for reasons of accessibility. Here is the reference link:<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-admin-bar-tab-index" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-admin-bar-tab-index</a></p> <p>To me, rather than asking users of your software to change the tabindex of all other forms in use at their sites, I think it would be more appropriate for Gravity Forms to allow us to define a tabindex for the fields in our forms, especially since I've learned tonight that the conflict is in a tabindex set on a core feature of WordPress itself. I had to chase a lot of code around to remedy the issue and this seems unnecessary. If I had created a form from scratch, I could have easily declared the tabindex of the form fields to begin AFTER the tabindex of the core WordPress Admin Bar.</p> <p>What are your thoughts on this? </p>
