Hi Tony,

I'm having trouble setting the tab order in a screen.
I have four drop-down fields where when a value is selected the _cm_updateFieldArray() method is called to populate other fields. The tab is then in the title of the screen.
All other input fields are jumped to in the order specified in the foobar.screen.detail.inc file.
If I understood correctly, _cm_updateFieldArray() triggers a server action and the focus then jumps back to the first or highest object in the form.
Is there a way to control this using a Radicore method?

I do not know of any command to set the position of the cursor on any particular field when an HTML form is displayed, so what you are asking for is not possible.

Have you ever had a problem like this or can you give me advice on where I might look for a solution?

I solved my problem by defining my own method which is called in _cm_pre_InsertRecord() and _cm_pre_UpdateRecord() and not calling _cm_UpdateFieldArray() when changing a value in the dropdown fields. This will make the tab order as defined in the screen.inc file.
