Tabbing Capabilities from within AMS project

[John Fletcher]

Hello All,

I am having an unusual issue with the AMS project I have developed. Possibly there is discussion on this subject yet I was unable to locate such discussions within the forums.... here it goes...

The AMS project is a simple Web Browser that calls on an html Submission Form (order) from the website and it launches and runs great. When a user begins to attempt to fill in the form the user cannot tab to the next field to populate the information...

Any suggestions?

Is there something I sould have selected when creating the AMS project in order for the form to allow the user to tab to the next field from within?

When a user goes to the website direct and interacts with the form it functions fine - tabbing etc!

Thanks in Advance!

I am astonished that noone has replied to this post - You guys know everything!

Its a simple AMS web Browser - The web portion calls on the webpage that has a form in it - The tab funtionality of the keyboard is non functional when you attempt to tab from field to fileld in the form (Only within the AMS project)- Is this an AMS issue I can modify? Is there a setting I am missing simehow?

Thanks in advance,

John

Hello,

there must be a problem with the web page, or with your project. The tab key works perfectly inside the web object, as long as it keeps the focus. If you have a timer or any other event that "steals" the focus from the web object, then you won't be able to tab through the fields on the loaded web page.

An example is attached. As you can see, the tab key works as expected.

Thank you for your reply... your form works great yet I notice that this form is html and the form that is being pulled into the version I have is Flash.

The focus seems to be lost with flash.

I used your sample and put the url into it and the tab order does not work also in your WebFocus sample - Must be Flash for some reason?

Any ideas?

below is the Project

Hi. This is Johns wife. John created a flash asp form using coffee cup form builder. He then used autoplay to package it. It works great. After the user downloads it, it automatically places the icon on their desktop with a link to the form we created.

The problem is, the form that it opens to inside the package will not tab from field to field in the form. When removing the form from the autoplay package and using it as a stand alone, the tabbing works.

I am sending this to customers as a convenience when they order my service so it has to tab or it will be inconvenient.

Perhaps we don't have it coded properly somewhere but we have no clue how to fix it.

Please help

Thanks so much

The problem seems to be your form, build in Flash. You are using the Flash plugin inside the Web object (which is a plugin itself), on a page in AutoPlay Media Studio. There is no reason why a form has to be done in Flash, as everything can be coded as well or better with Javascript and CSS, so you can have a "pure" HTML form. If you think that you must stick with the Flash form, then try to load the form using a Flash object, placed directly on the page - not inside a Web object. Of course this means that you will have to ship the swf with your project, or download it with HTTP.Download() from your server before displaying it on the page. And the "action" of the form will have to be a fully qualified URL, not a relative path on your web server.
