tabindex fix causing Ajax error

    Hi

    I was looking for a fix to a tabindex problem for forms with a comment box on the page.

    I found this support forum post http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/field-tab-order#post-9548 and applied this line of code to my custom_functions.php file

    add_filter('gform_tabindex', create_function('', 'return 4'));

    This worked on setting the tabindex. But now I get an Ajax error whenever I save or select a form. eg.

    Save form: "Ajax error when saving form"
    Import/Export>Select Form: "Ajax error when selecting form"

    If I comment out the gform_tabindex code these errors don't appear.

    Have tried this with Firefox, IE, Chrome and with all other plugins disabled.

    Here are my details:

    Wordpress 3.2, Gravity Forms 1.5.3, Thesis 1.82

    Many thanks in advance for the help

    Kein, on your filter, try altering it for a specific form(s), for example, this would be for form ID #1:

    add_filter('gform_tabindex_1', create_function('', 'return 4'));

    See if that works for you.

    Thanks Rob

    Unfortunately no. This doesn't make any difference.

    Any other suggestions?

    Can you post your custom_functions.php code to pastie.org or pastebin.com please? The gform_tabindex code runs when the form is displayed on the front end, so I don't think it is related at all to your error when you go to save a form in the admin.

    Can you try a different browser and see if the issue goes away? Or, test for a theme or plugin conflict.

    That tabindex code should have no effect on your ability to save a form. Maybe there was another change around the same time, even a change made by the host that you might not have been warned about (mod_security or some other configuration was changed or upgraded.)
