Tab Order Not Working on Published Form, But Works Fine on Preview Form

  1. After creating a form, the tab order on the preview form works, but when the form is published, the tab order is out of sequence.
    Here is the published form:
    http://www.intellalegal.com/patents/patent-searches/patent-search-request.html

    Can someone please tell me why this occurs and/or how do I change the tab order on the published form? Thanks!

  2. The tabbing is actually moving from one form on the page, to the fields on a form on the sidebar, then back to the form on the page. That doesn't solve the issue, but does change it some.

  3. The tab order is going to be out of order because you have multiple forms on your site, and there tabindex values are conflicting.

    You can resolve this by setting a starting tabindex value for the form embedded on the page so it doesn't conflict with the form appearing in your sidebar.

    In the shortcode on that page that you use to display the form, add tabindex="10" to the shortcode. That should then make the form embedded in the page start at tabindex 10 which won't conflict with the tabindex of the fields in your widget form.

    You could alternatively edit the sidebar widget and change the tabindex for the sidebar widget so it uses something like 100 or 1000 so that it doesn't conflict with forms in your pages.

  4. I think I need to change the page template for the form to not include the sidebar...
