I am having issues with the tab index (for all browsers) with the Numeric Text Boxes.

I need to set the tab indexes manually (can't let the browser automatically figure it out). I apply the tab index to the input elements before I instantiate them with kendo. Since the original input control is hidden for the Numeric Text Box after instantiation, when you tab through the form, that element is skipped.

For the DropDownList control (which also hides the original "input" element like NumericTextbox), kendo seems to remove the tab index from the original input element and apply it to the appropriate span element that is generated from kendo (and this works correctly).

Is there a reason that the NumericTextBox doesn't behave the same as the DropDownList?

After instantiation, I did try removing the tab index from the hidden input element and add it to the visible input element generated from kendo, but it seemed to be messing up any input elements below this on the form.

Thanks,
Christina

HI,

    you could check by accessing Kendo UI numeric text box demo from an Ipad safari browser and then try to navigate text boxes by "previous" or "Next" ( tab index navigation ). it doesnt work. I have given the tab index order as well. im using IOS6 Ipad. hope this information is enough for you all to check.

Best regards

Hello,

Thank you for describing the case.

I reproduced the issue and indeed there is a problem when trying to tab though the Numeric TextBox widget on iOS devices.

I logged the issue for further investigation so it could be fixed as soon as possible. 

Sadly I cannot offer you a temporary work-around.

Hello Einar,

The main question discussed is about tabbing in iOS and it is already fixed. I tried the following demo on IE11 as well and it works again as expected. In case you still struggle please open separate tickets and provide a small example or link where we can visit and investigate on.
