tabbing through radio buttons

[jakoye]

I have a form with many textbox input fields and one set of radio buttons (5 total buttons). I've set the tabindex for each one individually, 21 thru 25. However, when I tab thru the form, I only get focus on the first radio button in the set. Hitting tab again shifts the focus to the next element after the set of radio buttons (tabindex 26). <br>
<br>
How do I get it so the user will be able to tab thru each radio button????<br>
<br>
Thank you for any and all help.

Perhaps you are having this problem because radio buttons only allow a user to select one in a group. Try using checkboxes instead. <br>

Hmmm...an interesting scenario.<br>
Just a long-shot possibility:<br>
try pressing your directional arrow keys once you have focus given to the 1st radio button.<br>
If nothing happens: Oh well; worth a try<br>
If ANYTHING happens: Yay; we've just learned something new<br>
