This is about a simple need with a simple answer.  I am working on  a ColdFusion Flash form and needed to change the order in which fields received focus when using the tab key to navigate.  I checked the ColdFusion documentation and there was no mention of any attribute to control this.  I remembered taking care of this in the past with an HTML form but I could not remember the name of the attribute.  I did a quick google for "tab order input" and came up with the attribute tabindex, which takes a numerical value equal to the order in which a control should receive focus.  Even though it was not in the official ColdFusion documentation, I decided to give it a try on my cfinput and it worked perfectly.  So if you ever need to control the order on which a form control receives focus when tabbing, remember to use the tabindex property.

 

Happy Coding and Tabbing!
