would there be a way to get the tabindex to stay once an item is selected this is my code

right now it selects what the client selects and refreshes the page however the tab goes back to the address bar in IE and does not stay on the dropdown list the client was on.

you can use it on any element.

you'll need to get creative and pass your form the name of the field that triggered the submit so you'll know which field to give focus when the page reloads.

you could also look at an AJAX solution using something like Spry or JSMX.

you'd want to look at using JavaScript to give focus() to the field that you want. if it's always going to be that particular field, add the following JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
onload = document.YOURFORMNAMEHERE.model.focus();
</script>
