I have created a form with the HTML Composer on which I've placed a tab control (3 tabs). The user may enter values into numerous controls placed on all three tabs. When the submit button (on Tab 1) is pressed, a lot of JavaScript verification code is run to ensure proper entry of all values in all controls. If there's an error in a textbox on, say, Tab 3, I'd like to open the tab and select the "offending" textbox. This is a nice feature that's easy for me to do on a non-tabbed form, but the JavaScript novice that I am, I don't know how to do it within the context of a tab control!

Thanks in advance for the proper technique...

Craig

Without my looking at the JavaScript that is generated by HTML composer, I would take a guess that you should look at the JavaScript that is run when you click on one of the tabs (onclick?) - this code most likely hides the other tabs (I assume divs) and shows the one clicked on.
