Need help with tab order

[moepower]

If I have a table with four fields and three buttons (clear, back, next). Is there a notab command or how do I go about leaving the "clear" and "back" button out of the tab order? My partial code is below:

<tr>
<td>field1
<td>field2
<td>field3
<td>field4
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan=4>
<a href=&quot;#&quot;><img src=&quot;/clr.gif&quot; onClick=&quot;reset();&quot;></a>
<a href=&quot;javascript:history.go(-1)&quot;><alt=&quot;Back&quot;></a>
<input type=&quot;image&quot; onclick=&quot;return valid(document.forms[0,0],this;&quot;>
</td>
</tr>

Thanks

In IE4.0+ you can set the tabindex equal to -1... This won't work in Netscape though.

ex: <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Clear&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;>

Thanks for the hint. Also, I tried setting tabindex for <input type=&quot;text&quot;...> along with the <input type=&quot;button&quot;...>, but both IE and NS do not seem to follow the tabindex I set. Is this because I can't set tabindex for text fieds?

Thanks,

You should be able to set the tabindex for text fields... Post the code you're using and we'll take a look at it.

If I have a form with two text fields and three buttons with the code below. Why won't NS allow me to tab to the Submit button?

<INPUT Tabindex=&quot;1&quot; TYPE=&quot;text&quot; NAME=&quot;firstName&quot; SIZE=&quot;30&quot; VALUE=&quot;<%= (useUserInfo) ? qDta.userFName : qDta.parentFName %>&quot;>
<INPUT Tabindex=&quot;2&quot; TYPE=&quot;text&quot; NAME=&quot;lastName&quot; SIZE=&quot;30&quot; VALUE=&quot;<%= (useUserInfo) ? qDta.userLName : qDta.parentLName %>&quot;>

<a href=&quot;javascript:document.forms[0].reset();&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;><img type=&quot;image&quot; NAME=&quot;clearbutton&quot; ALT=&quot;Clear&quot; SRC=&quot;/images/Clear.gif&quot; border=0></a>
<a href=&quot;javascript:history.go(-1);&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;><img type=&quot;image&quot; NAME=&quot;backbutton&quot; ALT=&quot;Back&quot; SRC=&quot;/images/Back.gif&quot; border=0></a>
<INPUT Tabindex=&quot;3&quot; Type=&quot;Image&quot; NAME=&quot;submitbutton&quot; ALT=&quot;Next&quot; SRC=&quot;/images/orangeNext.gif&quot; border=0 onClick=&quot;return validate(document.forms[0],this);&quot;>
