You're welcome. Tabindexing is easy and painless...

an example would be:

<a tabindex="1" href="inserturl.htm">Link A</a>
<a tabindex="2" href="inserturl.htm">Link B</a>
<a tabindex="3" href="inserturl.htm">Link C</a>

the tab order would produce: A, B, C


Note, the placement of the tabindex attribute isn't absolute... I just
tend to place them in the front as shown, you could place them after the
href, etc. In the above example, the tab order follows the order the
links appear on the page... you could also do something like:

<a tabindex="3" href="inserturl.htm">Link C</a>
<a tabindex="1" href="inserturl.htm">Link A</a>
<a tabindex="2" href="inserturl.htm">Link B</a>

This way... the tab order would still produce: A, B, C

Kevin, Ann, Mark, Robert, Laura, and David,

Thank you for the input on my site. I truly appreciate
it and have tried to implement your suggestions.
(Kevin, I will try to find out how add tabindexing. I
use FrontPage.)
