I'm sure you know, many people make use of the tab button going from one field in a form to the next, and that progression should be logical.

During the registration process, if there are additional verification questions added to the form, its not so logical.

The tab order SHOULD go like this:

username
email
password
verify password
verification Q 1
verification Q 2 (and so on)
Location
Gender

instead it goes like this:

username
email
password
verify password
login username (top of page)
login password
login cookie duration
login button
search field
search button
Allow user to email you checkbox
THEN verification Q 1, etc


This can easily be resolved by using the TABINDEX property.

<input type = "text" name = "Fname" id = "field1" tabindex = "1">


Thought I'd mention it... maybe can get on a to-do list somewhere.



Sorry if this isn't the right place.  I thought it was more of a bug than it was a feature request... sort of neither.

I think it may be a bug. The developers might of done it so people couldn't tab their way through things such as registration without reading things.

Bug #2272: register does not use proper tab indexes
