Tabbing through fields

Has anyone noticed an issue when tabbing through fields, sometimes the order isn't correct? It seems to work on most of the form but there are some areas where it doesn't move to the next field. It will either jump to the top of the page and then when I tab a few more times it goes to the next field I was expecting it to go to before the jump. Other times, it will seem to be lost but if I keep clicking tab a bunch of times it will eventually get to the next field. I can't see what would be messing up the order, unless hidden groups can do that, because I have a bunch of those on the form.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Can you provide a concrete example as well as what browsers you have tried?

Hey Erik,

Sorry at the moment I can't provide an example because I can't just upload my companies code. I am going to try to make an example.

What it looks like is some fields and then a few groups within groups that are hidden or displayed based on user choices. These groups have fields in them. It seems to me that the tabbing is going through these hidden fields because if I keep tabbing it eventually gets to the next non-hidden field. Also, if I alter the drop down boxes and make it so all the hidden fields have been displayed and then hide them again, the tabbing works fine. So, this is only when the page first loads and the hidden fields haven't been seen yet.

I tested this on IE 7, 8 and Firefox 3.6.3.

This is with orbeon 3.8.

Thanks.

Since Orbeon 3.8, we have fixed a bug which might be exactly the issue you hit:

Thanks Erik, that is fantastic! I have had 3 issues in the last month or so and by the time I researched them, they were fixed!

Is this only available in the nightly builds? We are releasing our orbeon solution to a production environment and I am worried about using a nightly build.

Yes, that's in nightly builds only at this time I fear.

You could possibly patch the your 3.8 build with the specific commits from github, I think there was more than one commit though.

Re: Re: Re: Tabbing through fields

Thanks Erik. I tried the nightly build and it seems to be almost fixed. Most of the tabbing works but there are sections of the form where it seems to get lost and jump to the top of the page. If I keep tabbing, eventually it gets to the correct field.

Devin,

We would need an example that we can use to reproduce this (and
possibly fix this!), as we are not aware of any issue with tabbing at
this point. Could you create a simple test case we can run in the
XForms sandbox and that reproduces this?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Tabbing through fields

Sorry for not responding earlier but I was on vacation. At any rate, the nightly build has solved my tabbing issues. I think for some strange reason when I deployed the nightly build on my local machine it didn't replace the original 3.8 version. I was using Netbeans for this so maybe there was some caching or something. Anyway, when I restarted my computer and tried again it worked great.

Thanks so much.

Re: Tabbing through fields

Devin,

Actually, another reason that could explain nightly builds working
better with regard to tabbing is that we fixed a bug with that last
week. So now I can again say it again: we not aware of any problem
with tabbing! :) The issue, if this is the one you encountered, was
related to links. Non-relevant links or links in an hidden
xforms:case, were still be able to "steal the focus". This applied to
both your own links (<xhtml:a>) and minimal triggers (which are
rendered as links), and the bug is now fixed in the latest nightly
build.
