Hello,

I have defined tabindex for the input fields in a form. When tabbing through the input fields the submit button is never getting the focus, some other input fields in a different form on the page gets the focus. Those are all having tabindexes higher than 3. How come?

<form action="subscription.php" name="subscribe" method="post"  onsubmit="return isValidEmailAndEqual()">
<p id="formlabel">E-mail</p> <input type="text" name="email1" tabindex=1>

<br/>
<p id="formlabel">Repeat e-mail</p> <input type="text" name="email2" tabindex=2> <br/>
<input id="inputsubmit" type="submit" value="Subscribe" tabindex=3>
</form>

.css:

input {
    background-color : #333;
    border: 1px solid #EEE;
    color: #EEE;
    margin-bottom: 6px;
    margin-top: 4px;
    padding: 1px;
    width : 200px;
}

#inputsubmit {
    background-color : #d7e6f1;
    border: 1px solid #EEE;
    color: #0000ff;
    margin-bottom: 6px;
    margin-top: 4px;
    padding: 1px;
    width : 200px;
}

#inputsubmit:hover {
    cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;  
    background-color : #d7e6f1;
    border: 1px solid #0000ff;
    color: #0000ff;
    margin-bottom: 6px;
    margin-top: 4px;
    padding: 1px;
    width : 200px;
}

p#formlabel{
width: 100;

}

Thanks in advance!
