Hi All...

I've inherited a problem that appears to be unsolvable in any elegant
manner.  I'm hoping someone out there may have some suggestions.  We're
currently using GDC 1.33.1g

I have a multi-page form and need to allow the user to navigate between
pages with the Tab and Shift-Tab keys.  If the user is in the last
active field of a page and they press "Tab", I need to activate the next
available page.  If they are in the first active field of a page and
press "Shift-Tab", I need to activate the previous available page.  If
the user is in any middle field, the "Tab" and "Shift-Tab" need to
behave normally.  This would be a relatively simple matter if all fields
and pages were always active.  Unfortunately, the availability of fields
and pages varies depending on the data.  Consequently, the "first
active" and "last active" fields are not constant.  I need a generic
method to detect the form state and act appropriately.=20

Ideally, I would like to override the prevfield action, detect whether
I'm in the first available field and move to the previous page if so.
If I'm not in the first available field, I simply want to conduct the
default prevfield action.  Apparently, that is easier said than done.

Answering any of the following questions will give us some options:

1)	By default, when the user Shift-Tabs to navigate backwards
through fields, inactive fields are skipped.  When I override the
default action with my own, what do I need to do to simulate the default
action?  The "next field previous" instruction will not skip over
inactive fields and simply leaves the cursor in the current field.
=09
2)	When the user Shift-Tabs from the first active field of a page,
is there any unique action that we can detect and override?  For
example, we know the user has tabbed out of the last field of a page
when the "after input" action fires and the user hasn't accepted,
cancelled, or closed the form.  Is there any similar method to detect
Shift-Tab from the first field?
=09
3)	Is there any way to programmatically set the focus to a specific
field, using nodes or any other method?  I need to find an appropriate
field that is available and then set the focus to that field.  The "next
field" command forces me to use a hard field name rather than a variable
name.

Thanks.
