Tab forward to custom fields

[cbierwerth]

I need some help in fixing the Tab forward from a Sugar field to a custom field. I have added cusom fields in Accounts and Calls and tasks to capture the information I need for sales. I am not a programmer, my programmer is working on revenue generating projects so I am trying to find some of these fixes to forward to him and save time.

How do I get the program to tab forward properly in Edit mode from a Sugar field to a custonm field? When it hits encounters a custom field you have to use the mouse to click to the next field - which is not very efficient. Any help on this please?

Edit the html file for the EditView in question:
<sugarroot>/modules/<module_name>/EditView.html

You will see slot tags for all your fields like the following:

<td  class="dataLabel"><slot>{MOD.LBL_CITY}</slot></td>
<td class="dataField"><slot><input id='primary_address_city' name='primary_address_city' tabindex='3' size='25' maxlength='100' value='{PRIMARY_ADDRESS_CITY}'></slot></td>

You can change all the orders by changing the values of the tabindex='3'
The custom fields to not have values specified, so add them as necessary.
