Paul and others,

I have a site I handle for a nonprofit club. We have an on-line adoption
application used to place unwanted dogs of a certain breed. We've had some
problems with our provider and after going out and getting the latest
formmail file (from Matt's Scripts), our tabbing is no longer working in
Netscape either. We never had a problem before.

I am not familar with CSS, but am willing to learn what I need to in order
to make this work correctly in all browsers.

What do you suggest? Or is there a solution at this time? This
application is very lengthy and tabbing is essential, due to the form
requires that all fields MUST contain some kind of data.

Thanks for any help you can throw this way.

This is a bug in Netscape. Whenever absolute-positioned div tags are
used, the keyboard accessibility in Netscape is destroyed. I've had
better luck with other CSS styles, but the absolute positioning style is
problematic for this reason.
