Problem tabbing through textarea in Netscape 6

I have a form with a bunch of text areas. I set the tabindex values, and everything works fine in IE, but in Netscape 6, when you tab into the textarea, any tabs past that point stay within the text area. Is there some way I could disable this or does anyone know a work around for this? QA is deeply disturbed by this <grin>
 
Seems to work fine for me. You haven't provided the code, so I can't gaurantee, but look at mine. Works both in IE and NS 4.7

<!-- form code with tab indexes -->
<form>
1.<input type=&quot;text&quot; size=&quot;10&quot; name=&quot;a&quot; tabindex=&quot;1&quot;><br>
2.<input type=&quot;text&quot; size=&quot;10&quot; name=&quot;b&quot; tabindex=&quot;2&quot;><br>
3.<input type=&quot;text&quot; size=&quot;10&quot; name=&quot;c&quot; tabindex=&quot;3&quot;><br>
4.text.
<textarea rows=3 cols=20 name=&quot;x&quot; tabindex=&quot;4&quot;>
Some sample text

</textarea><br>

</form>
 
It works perfectly fine in Netscape 4.7, as you pointed out, and any other version of Netscape I could get my hands on. But in Netscape 6, once you tab into the text area, you can't tab out to the next element...

(Code is very similar to the example you show, just with another textarea and then a submit button added on)
