TABBING ORDER - ADVANCE TO NEXT PAGE

In LiveCycle Designer, I believe you have to go to the next page and then set the tab order for that page. When I did that to a form I created, I was able to tab from the last field on my first page to the first field on my second page. Of course, if there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears!

Problem: Cannot move by tabbing from last check box on page one to first check box on page two.

I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and I have created a two page form. After some problems I was able to arrange tab ordering as desired; however, after tabbing to the last checkbox on page one and entering, the cursor stays on page one rather than moving to the first checkbox on page two.

Any solutions?

If you make PDF forms (instead of XFA stuff using LiveCycle Designer), you add something like the following code into the onBlur event of the last field on the first page:

this.getField("nameOfMyFirstFieldOnFollowingPage").setFocus() ;

and that will get you there.

If you want to make it fancy, and be able to get back (when you press Shift-Tab, you would also add to the first field on the following page something like:

if (event.shift) {this.getField("nameOfMyLastFieldOnPreviousPage").setFocus() }

And that would do it.

Hope this can help.

Thanks, Max, that is perfect!
