Address (US address) Zipcode tab order

    For some reason, I am having issues with the zipcode on FireFox (Safari seems okay). Basically when I tab from city, it jumps to a left aligned zipcode and then to the next field (skipping the state drop-down). How can I make sure that the tab order is correct for the each field in the address?

  2. Can you post a link to the form where you are having this issue so we can take a look?

    It really happens on every address. Unfortunately, I can't publish it just yet as this is on a development box right now.

    If you can't reproduce it, then it must be on my side... I'll have to dig deeper.

  5. I am able to recreate it on our end. It looks like it's a FireFox browser issue, not a form issue. It does the same on our end no matter the form. I tested on Gravity Forms, and a few other non-Gravity Forms powered forms (including the whitehouse.gov contact us form) and FireFox isn't letting me tab to drop downs or even the submit button. So it isn't a bug with the plugin or something you are doing because the tabindex is correct, unfortunately it's just how the browser handles forms.

  6. If you're using a MAC, this could be the cause. It defaults the keyboard controls to text boxes and lists only. Here's a quick fix if so.

  8. Yeah, I had encountered the same thing.. and it since I use Firefox most of the time, I assumed it was just a browser issue then found that. Glad it worked for you.
