Ignore tab stop/index on a field

I have a data entry form that can go up to 40 lines and need to completely skip a certain field repeated in every line as this is only used in very special circumstances.

I see in the forum several way to control the entire form, but not individual fields. I'm not at all familiar with php and really don't want to code this, just simply skip the option all the way around. I downloaded the code in hopes of just deleting the function in these fields, but figured out that is must be done otherwise as tab is not in the coding at all.

I want to skip the DMN field on each line with calling them by name or number inback end code as this could change and would requiring opening up the code every time when all I want to do is make the filed as NO tab stop and skip the code before it is even written.

I know if I was coding the fields myself, I'd simply delete the tab code for the field and I don't see a way to do this...can you help?

My form is at http://www.earnvpoints.com/vpadmin/sample-page/

Thanks!

You can use jQuery to append a negative tabindex value to each element that you'd like to "skip". For example:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	jQuery("#input_69_7").attr('tabindex','-1');
  });

You can see a working example here: http://dev.outerhavenstudios.com/calculation-example/

Put your cursor in the first field and then tab and it will skip the second field. You will just need to identify each element (input ID) accordingly and chain them together or target them as you see fit.

I was just in my themes and saw that there is already a js folder, so this is where my script goes - so ignore that part....Thanks again

OK, I'll try that....I went to start my actual script and didn't see a way to apply this to only form 1, I wouldn't want to skip these fields on all of my forms...

OR is that what the 1 refers to in:

jQuery("#input_1_99").attr('tabindex','-1');

The 99 is the field label and is the 1 the form number or do I need to call it another way?

OK, got it, so for mine, I'd use this:
jQuery("#input_1_103").attr('tabindex','-1');

or would I use 103_1 - I see both in the code...my form is 1 so looking at your sample code I think that 1_103 is correct....

Field code:

<li id='field_1_103' class='gfield gf_inline' style='display:none;'><label class='gfield_label'>DNM</label><div class='ginput_container'><ul class='gfield_checkbox' id='input_1_103'><li class='gchoice_103_1'><input name='input_103.1' type='checkbox' onclick='gf_apply_rules(1,[0]);' value=' ' id='choice_103_1' tabindex='44' /><label for='choice_103_1'> </label></div>

Thanks sooooo much - I finally got it to work...it took me awhile to figure how to call the script as I wanted to host it separate because my theme gets a lot of updates, so I came up with this in the header as you said:

/**
* MY CUSTOM INCLUDES
*/
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.earnvpoints.com/vpadmin/wp-content/themes/graphene/js/CHeader-negtabstopform1.js'></script>

Again thanks!

Do you have a login to use to access that page?

OK, it looks like you changed the verbiage on the checkbox label option. Which means, you need to reselect that in your conditional logic. Pop open the fields underneath that should be showing with conditional logic and you'll see there are two choices there. The fields are latching onto the old label/conditional logic. So you just need to select the new, correct label choice.

No worries! Glad to help out.
