.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / August 2007Tab Order in Repeater ir vertical, should be horizontal
I have a repeater control control that displays a set of records. When I tab through the fields, the active field moves downward through the current column. When it gets to the last record it moves to the next column. How can I use the tab key to move through the row and then down to the next row? Thanks, Bill Cincinnati, OH USA If you make the repeater in such a way that the resulting html will be a table, the tab order will be left-to-right top-to-bottom. If you don't produce a table, you can ensure the proper tab order by setting the TabIndex properties for the controls on the item template.

The W3C DOM (and, therefore, most modern browsers) limits the tabIndex property to anchors, areas, buttons, inputs, objects, selects and textareas. It is only IE5 and above which supports tabIndex for all renderable elements... It is not supported at all by any version of Netscape...

Sounds pretty good, this should be about 99.99% of what you may need tab order for.

My repeater control has one table in it and that table has one row with multiple columns. I have the tab order set correctly, left to right, but the browser still tabs top to bottom, then back to the top of the next column, then top to bottom of that column, etc. On Jul 29, 3:10 am, "Eliyahu Goldin" <REMOVEALLCAPITALSeEgGoldD...@mMvVpPsS.org> wrote: > If you make the repeater in such a way that the resulting html will be a > table, the tab order will be left-to-right top-to-bottom.

What browser are you using? How are you constructing the repeater? Does View Source show the tabIndex properties correctly set for each <td> rendered by the repeater...? SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net I am using IE 6.0.02900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr_070227-2254, pretty standard browser. I am constructing the repeater with one table in it and one row in that table. I have the tab order set correctly, left to right, but the browser still tabs top to bottom, then back to the top of the next column, then top to bottom of that column, etc. View / Source shows that the HTML has been rendered to tab down the column, back up to the top of the next column, down that column, etc. I think I posted all this, except the browser version, in my previous message.... > >I still don't get it. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Mark Rae > ASP.NET MVPhttp://www.markrae.net > View / Source shows that the HTML has been rendered to tab down the > column, back up to the top of the next column, down that column, etc. How do you now? Do you set the tabindex attribute? What exactly is in your itemtemplate? It should cointan only <tr>..</tr>, not <table>..</table>. With that you shouldn't need any tabindex. Can you show the markup for the repeater?
