Details

(registration on the messageboard may be necessary to reproduce this) from the above URL, enter any of the forums, and click "New Post" to create a new topic. The form that comes up asks for username and password, a topic, and a table of small iconic smilies. In other browsers (netscape 4.6 and IE 4 and 5), tabbing between the fields will take focus in this order: Username -> Password -> Topic -> Icons -> message text. using mozilla (build ID 2000012520), tabbing occurs in the following order: Username->password->topic->icon 1 ->icon 2 ->icon 3 ->icon 4... etc. as a second issue, submitting a post to the Ultimate Bulletin Board cgi results in UBB detecting a "hack" attempt.

Since one report should have only one issue, I'm opening a new, separate report (bug 30810) to cover the "hack attempt" issue. This report will continue to focus on the form field issue. dschin, could you please add platform & Build ID info into both bug reports? Marking 4xp and M18.
Okay, well if I'm understanding the issue correctly, the problem is that we didn't tab through each icon before and now we do? Well on NT, at least, we did. On NT I get identical behavior between 4.5, 4.7, and Mozilla. We tab through icon1, icon2, etc. I don't think this is really a bug, just different usability guidelines. IE does do it differently than we do but this isn't really a spec'd out thing, just a choice. I'm going to file this as an enhancement but for the moment that means it'll get marked remind since other bugs will currently take precedence.
