2 things including Character count not appearing and Tabbing Question

  1. Hiya,

    Love GFs. The best thing since sliced bread. Makes me feel like a PRO :)

    Two things:

    1. Tabbing index order / tabbing to next fields - for some reason on this form at boothtrade.com/submit-dj-booth (you may need to create an account to access), I cannot get it to tab to field in the proper order. Currently pressing tab once in the first form field skips you down to the bottom of the form. Subsequent tabs will take you to the top, then back to the bottom, then to the middle, and then it actually starts going in sequence :-). Any way to define the order or fix the issue? Also, any way to show CSS tabbing effect to indicate to the user where the cursor/tab is in a multi checkbox input each time they click the tab button within that multiple checkbox field .

    3. On one of the forms, the datepicker is buggy in its outward look. Scroll down to the bottom of this page, http://boothtrade.com/wheres-fred/, and click on the 'Show Interest' checkbox input and then follow form to the first chance you get to pick a date. You should see the CSS display error I'm talking about. Here is the link to that issue: . I've been trying to fix the issue through CSS and html validation but no luck so far.

    Thanks in advance.

  2. 1. Because you have two forms on one page, the tabindex overlaps. That is why you jump from the top form to the bottom form. Since you have embedded the bottom form in a widget, you can change the tabindex in the widget settings. Go to your widget page ( http://boothtrade.com/wp-admin/widgets.php ) and click the form widget you used. Click the "advanced options" and in that section, set "Tab Index Start:" to some number greater than the number of fields in your first form. Something like 40 or 50 should be fine. Then save the widget and test your form. Screenshot: http://minus.com/mvb3ZVdEr/

    2. There is no 2?

    3. This is a conflict in your theme or another plugin. How does the datepicker look in the form preview? If it's OK there, then you will need to find the CSS or JavaScript in your theme (most likely) that is affecting this, then override it. I will continue looking for that CSS now.

  3. Something more than just CSS is going on here with the datepicker, unless you've modified some JS somewhere. For example, the month and year should be shown as selects/drop downs. Can you verify that in the form preview as Chris mentioned?

  4. I will do that as soon as possible and respond again to help you understand the issue better. Thank you for the first tip. Very helpful and logical.

    Thanks again Chris and Rob - appreciated.
