Find the next control in the tab order

[Robert Mark Bram]

Hi All,

From an event handler attached to a control that has a tab index, is it

possible to find the next control in the tab order - and then focus()
on it?

I am having a bit of trouble with running my own (onkeyup) code in
response to a tab and then making sure that the tab-effect still occurs
i.e. focus on the next control in the tab order isn't happening even
though I return true from the function.

The easiest way I can think of is:
1. Use the taborder attribute
2. Get the taborder for the focused item
3. Use the getElementsBySelectors script

4.
document.getElementsBySelector('input[taborder=<NEXTTABNUMBER>]')[0].focus();
