This is nothing that is a major issue, but something that bugs me from time to time.

When I enter my username, I instinctively tab to the password (I use my keyboard as mush as possible), but tabbing takes the cursor to the bottom of the page in the username box down there.

Is this just a bug?

If you tab twice, though, it will go to the password field. Don't ask me why.

People wanted the Logon box at the bottom of the screen as well as at the top. Fraser popped it in, but there's an issue with the code that messes up the tabbing. You need to hit it twice to go where you want to go.

It's pretty obvious from a quick glance at the HTML that the
problem is caused by duplicated "tabindex" numbers: The same
set of numbers (101 though 104) appear at the top and bottom
of the page. I'd reccommend changing the numbers at the
bottom to 201 through 204, or the like.

That's a problem when the loginbox is done by an include that's included twice, thus the identical tabindex numbers.

Yeah, people wanted me to put that toolbar down at the bottom as well as the top, so it duplicated the tab order.

Ah. Well, Fraser could probably copy the include or edit it
to contain a second copy of the code, with altered numbers,
and then have the program call the two different includes.
Easier than making the numbers variables, I'd guess.
