Don't judge

Do other people think "What a fucking 'tard," when they see someone enter information onto a computer screen with the keyboard, only to then reach for the mouse (often not next to the keyboard) and use the mouse to bring the arrow to the "enter" button and click it - rather than just hitting "Enter" on that same keyboard?"

Do most people understand tab order in web page development, and want to punch a programmer web designer in the face every time they navigate to a web page that does not automatically put the cursor in the most logical place to start entering data, and/or find tab does not take them through the rest of the data entry screen?

tabindex is your friend. as is focus().

but yes. most designer / developers don't get that far in the process. they either want the page to look pretty but couldn't care less about functionality, or care only about functionality and the page looks like ass and doesn't really work that well anyway.

(personally i cringe more at the people who mouse > select > menu:edit > menu:copy > menu:edit > menu:paste instead of just mouse > select > ctrl-c > ctrl-v)
