How to focus first tab index input field when navigation tabs are selected

Hi All,

While navigation tabs are selected the tab index should start from the first index input field.

Now existing behavior is if we navigate any tabs the tab index is start only the input field is string doctype if decimal and integer the tab index not starting and not focusing any field.

Please suggest us how can we focus first index while navigating the tab.

Looking forward to your favorable reply.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Uday,

Which component are you using for tabs? I assume this is for XForms you are writting yourself, not using Form Builder, correct? And could you illustrate the focus issue you're seeing with a screenshot, as I am not picturing what the issue is based on your descripion?

Hi Alex,

I am using Form builder and configured wizard. For this one tab should active always.

Section:1


Section:2


For Attached image, I have created 2 section (Section1, Section2). First Section 2 Text field and Section 2 I have inserted 6 input fields and Section 2 First 3 input fields (Text1, Text2, Text 3) changed doctype to deceimal and other same String input field. While clicking on section2 the cursor directly focusing Text4 insted of Text1.

I observed this tab clicks always focus only String text doctype not Decimal.

I need solution while clicking on section 2 the focus should start Text1 instead of Text4.

Please Suggest.

Hi Uday,

Thank you for the screenshots; this is helpful. The problem is that the focus used to be set to the first "simple" input field (xf:input), and a text field of type decimal was an fr:number, not xf:input, so it was "skipped". This has already been fixed, and the fix will be in our next release:
