Hi Everyone,

I'm a fresher, to be brief:

My Question:
scenario: I have 5 textboxes and the 3rd textbox is readonly.
Cursor is in textbox1.
When a user hit a tab, cursor moves from textbox1 to textbox2.
When the tab is hit again, now the cursor should move from textbox2 to textbox4 since textbox3 is readonly.

How can I achieve this?

Solution 1

Set the Tab index property of the controls to reflect the order you would like.

Also set the TabStop property of the control to false on the read only text box.

Just assign the Tab order:
Thusly...

XML

<form>
  <input type="text" name="TextBox1" tabindex=1 /><br />
  <input type="text" name="TextBox2" tabindex=3 /><br />
  <input type="text" name="TextBox3" tabindex=2 /><br />
</form>

As you see it goes from 1 to 3 to 2.
