tabindex filter not working to form in widget

I put my forms on my sidebar using widgets provided by gravity form

I realized that you should be able to modify the starting tabindex for the form using the filter below

add_filter("gform_tabindex_2", create_function("", "return 7;"));

However, when the form is on sidebar widget, the filter doesnt work and the form tab index always starts at 1. This gets very problematic when I want to include 2 forms in my sidebar widgets (1 for contact us and the other for newsletter subscription).

Can someone here show me if there is anything I miss.
Thanks in advance

I have the same issue..

You can see it in action here

There's a form on the page and another tiny one in the footer. For the form in the footer I'm applying your tabindex filter like this..

//
//	Footer newsletter sign-up tab index filter
//
function deliberate_form_tabibndex( $value) {
	return 8;
}
add_filter("gform_tabindex_1", 'deliberate_form_tabibndex');

But the tabindex in that tiny footer form seems determined to begin at 1.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply Rob.

I am using a widget so I went and looked at the advance options and saw I could set the tab index there. This has solved the immediate problem.

Still, any idea why the filter didn't work?

Cheers,

Michael.
