TabIndex?

should be. Though, You must have a look to the inner code and modify it.

Check line 63 of fck_config.js in the js folder:

//## Spaces ( ) to add on TAB
config.TabSpaces = 4 ;

Is this what you're looking for?
Hope this helps...

JSYK - Tab index isn't the same as TabSpaces... TabIndex is the order in which the form fields can be "TABBED" through.

Yes, I have the same problem. Does anyone knows a solution?

its easy, open file: fckeditor.js

find there a string:


return '<iframe id="' + this.InstanceName + '___Frame" src="' + sLink + '" width="' + this.Width + '" height="' + this.Height + '" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" tabindex=4></iframe>' ;

and add to the end of iframe tabindex=4 like i do. works great !

Hello, I know this is an old message, but I had a similar problem, and maybe the solution could be included in the fckeditor sources as I find it useful.
The problem I had was using tabindex with multiple editors in one page, I managed to get it working by specifying it in the <textarea> and then in the fckeditor.js by modifying the following:

<iframe id="' + this.InstanceName + '___Frame" src="' + sLink + '" width="' + this.Width + '" height="' + this.Height + '" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" tabindex="'+document.getElementById( this.InstanceName ).tabIndex+'"></iframe>

I still have a problem though, if I tab till the first editor I cannot tab out of it, I guess because the tab key event get catched for something else (inserting tabs in the editor?)...

any hints?
maybe the latest version solves this? (I am using a >6 month old version atm)

This feature is not available.

Check out the "Copy textarea.tabIndex on ReplaceTextarea" ticket at our dev site. There is a patch proposal for it there, which includes the TabIndex property for the JavaScript integration files.

How do you set the TabIndex now? I have the latest version (2.6.2), and have not found where to set the tabindex property.

I have two editor items on the same page. They are directly one after another, so I suppose I can set the tabindex for them to be the same. However, I'm using the editor on other pages and would like to specify the tabindex for each editor individually.

Thank you

I managed to set the tab index manually using javascript DOM. This solution might be useful to anyone like me that doesn't have time to upgrade!
