Date input table tree tabs to navigate away when empty

[Alantod17Participant]

Hi

I am using the date input control. however i find out that when the date input is empty, it takes tree tabs to move away from the date control.

in the demo page if you delete the time in the second input box and put focus on the first one. Tab through the form, the second empty input box takes three tabs to move away. This makes user confused.

any solutions?

If the empty input box can be tab off by just one tab would be great

Hi Hristo

Thanks for the reply.

In the example the focus is manually coded to the next button element.

however, we are using a MVVM framework the date control in a module which has no idea what next element is.

is there a more generic way to solve this problem?

Hi

Just make this post to say the problem is solved. we ending up to put a value of 9/9/9999 as a input mask. in this way the user will know there is three tab for each of the input fields. But I do thing it should only take one tab to move away from a empty date input. Happy to say if it can be improved by next version

cheers
