Hi there,

I have placed 2 text entry fields that are for username & a password, I on publish/preview, I type the username and go to hit the TAB key to move to the password field but nothing happens & cursor does not move to the other field...

I did try a quick search for this question as I thought it must of happened before to others, but could not find what I needed..the answer 😉

Kind Regards

Rossco

    Hi There,

    Welcome to Adobe Forum.

    Have you tried using the shortcut option assigned as "Tab" in the action properties of the text entry box as shown in the following image:

    What if you do not have that option in your Action Tab?  There are no other help sections that discuss why a field would not automatically jump to the next field for entry.  The options set on other fields is Mouse Up and then Execute a Menu item.  Every other field is set the same way and they jump to the next field.  Then you have two fields that do not work skips right over them.
