i've been researching this one for some time for steve,
the code fix is within include_CuteEditor.asp on line 805 - add the attribute tabindex and the value to the _editbox DIV
the line should now read:
Response.write ("<div tabindex=""60"" id="""&ID&"_editBox"" onpage=""oneditorpage("&ID");"".......(and the style stuff)
where the tab index would be 60. It is also possible to feed this in as a variable, but i'm sure the nice people at cutesoft will follow this post with the method for that
