Hello, I have noticed a very strange problem with the DatePicker control in a WebForm that is also populated with other controls.
Lets say I have a Webform with controls in the following order and TabIndexes:
----------------WebForm----------------
Textbox1 - TabIndex 1
DatePicker1 - TabIndex 2
Textbox2 - TabIndex 3
Textbox3 - TabIndex 4
Textbox4 - TabIndex 5
DatePicker2 - TabIndex 6
Textbox5 - TabIndex 7
----------------WebForm----------------
If I click on Textbox1 and then tab the cursor goes to DatePicker1 and then skips all other TextBoxes and goes directly to DatePicker2.
Essentially it is ignoring the TabIndexes of all the other controls and so if there are number of DatePicker controls on the form once you tab away from the current DatePicker the cursor jumps directly to the next DatePicker on the form.
Anyone has a solution for this?

Hi,
The best way to do this is to drop tab index for all controls so that the browser will handle the tab index as they appear in the HTML. Currently the DatePicker's TabIndex is rendered on the DatePicker, not on the DatePicker's textbox, which cause the browser to focus on the DatePicker instead of the textbox, so it does not work.
Thanks!
