Tabbing Through an HTML Form in OE 6

[Guest]

Hello,

I created an HTML email (in another program) that contains a form,
which has several input fields. However, after filling out the first field,
hitting the tab key doesn't move the cursor to the next field, but
instead it actually highlights my Inbox folder.

I've tried setting the tabindex attributes for the various input fields, but
OE 6 doesn't seem to honor them. Is there a workaround?

Also, does Outlook 2000 honor the tabindex attribute?

Thanks.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the
Office family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting
in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

I'm not sure if outlook honors the tabindex, since security in Ol2002/2003
prevents HTML forms from working properly in email unless the recipient
opens it in internet zone (edit menu of open message). It's possible the
newer versions of OE also block them.
