How does one set the tab order of a webform of text boxes? This may seem like a stupid question, but setting the tab indexes seems to have no impact.

I set the properties on these text boxes as autopostback to false, as well as setting viewstate to false? This is a login form so I don't want to retain the values in viewstate nor do I want to postback until the userid and password fields are validated.

What am I doing wrong?

There is few things this could be,
1. Tab index (I Think) is only supported on up level Internet Explorer Versions. What browser are you using.
2. I don't think tab index works on any other browser except IE.

If it is the case where you are not using IE. it is possible to use java-script to do this but this could be a nightmare if you have a long form with a lot of fields.
 
I'm using IE 6.0. Possibly there is something I have set in my internet connections that is stopping the tab order from working.

I'm a rookie but learning...
