[2.2.1] Using the calendar kills tabindex

[ThornTech]

What if you just set the focus on the next input field on the form?

What do you mean? How does one "set the focus"?

The problem we are describing is about tabbing out of the dateField after you pick-a-date from the calendar. It doesn't work as it should UNLESS you assign a tabindex value to the fields before, after and including the dateField.

Normally, the form flow is determined by the text-field's order in the html code (unless tabindex is specified). When "tabbing" out of a field, focus should go to the next field in the markup/html, usually to the right or below the current field.

Hey, i have the same problem in my application, but i can not solve it by using a tabIndex, because the user can dynamically add any number of fields in the middle of the form at some certain spots.
So I am really interested in your solution here?! Any progress anyone?

I suggest you give all the fields the same tabindex. The dynamic ones too.

OMG! It's so easy, thank you, NightAvatar! I don't know why my little brain didn't come up with that solution...

$(function() {
        $("#fdate").datepicker({
        onClose: function(){
            $("#fdate").focus(); 
            }
        });
    });

you're assuming everyone gives datefields ids of "fdate", and that everyone uses jquery.

[edit]
note: i just tried my test case from post #6 again, using the latest code from 2.x SVN, without any of the above overrides, and this bug appears to have been resolved for WebKit browsers only.

Hi, all.
I think i have the same bug in my application. but i'm not using tabs. i have Modal dialog with 4 datefields (not counting the remaining fields). When I select a date in one of them - everything is OK, but clicking on numberfield - the focus from him permanently lost(from numberfield) - i can't type the number.

Does anyone knows a solution for this issue?

ps. Ext. 2.2.1, FF 3.5.2.

Any progress on this? I've got 2.3 installed and still am seeing the issue in FireFox 3.5.3 on OSX. After using the calendar selection widget of a date field, I can do whatever I want with the form/page, but the first time I hit tab, focus goes to the first item on the page.

Any word on this bug? Based upon the 2.3 change log, I was hoping this issue had been fixed. I was wrong -- tabindex is still busted.
