I create similar pages with several text boxes in a row
using both static HTML and a Python script. They both 'work'
and both respond to a Javascript script that sets focus onload at the first box.
The static page allows immediate data entry right at the point of the cursor....or in any other box to which the cursor is moved.
The dynamic page will allow no entry to the 1st or any other box unless it is 'reached' by using the 'tab' key..
only then can data be entered...placing the cursor in the first position of the boxes will not allow entry.
As a general issue ... does anyone know why 'any' HTML page, however generated, would behave that way ????
