All,
Is there a way to "setfocus" so the focus goes to another tab in the 
document or maybe use a "trigger" to go to another tab?

Randy,

Your last message responding to Hank was empty, but I assume you are
referring to the tab control currently used in the XForms Controls
example. It does not support an explicit event to do that, but is
right now implemented in XSLT that generated XForms based on your
<widget:*> elements. To switch to another tab, say from the
text-controls tab to the selection-controls, you can do:

    <xforms:action>
        <xforms:toggle case="text-controls-inactive"/>
        <xforms:toggle case="selection-controls"/>
        <xforms:toggle case="selection-controls-active"/>
    </xforms:action>

This is a bit more verbose than we'd like it to, and for other reasons
as well we are now thinking about (and actually started)
re-implementing the tabs widget in XBL.

Thanks Alex!
It worked to get me over to the correct tab. After doing some
<xforms:select1... to fill in some attributes I need to go back to the
original tab. I assume I go back the same way I came? Also, is there a
way to set the tab I jump to, to an active state? When I jump to it ,the
tab is not "selected" or it is not dimmed like it would be if selected
with a mouse click.
Thanks,
Randy

Right: you can go back to the "previous tab" the same way. For the
focus, you'll need to set the focus on the first control in the tab
you are making active with an <xforms:setfocus>.
