Tab in Java



My university's math department put up terrible little inaccesable
Java applets for homework. In particular, the tab key does not move
between text input fields. Is this a known issue with Java, or does
Java use some key combination other than tab to move between fields? I
am a heavy keyboard user as I have difficulties manipulating the
mouse. Although the university does recognize my handicap regarding
written assignments, there is 'nothing to be done' regarding their
inaccessible Java applet other than what I can do client side.

I tried to save an applet to post in a place where the list members
can try it, but unsuccessfully. The applet phones home when started
up, so there is no way to post it in a public manner. If some list
members want to email me off-list for my username/password, I can
provide that. Thanks.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
