Today’s Web Design Rant!!

I am really tired of webpages with forms to fill out and links to help pages beneath the text boxes. So imagine I have to fill out a login/password set of boxes, underneath which are links. I fill in my login, then hit and start to fill in my password. Only, nothing happens! The next tab stop doesn’t highlight the next input box: it highlights the “login help” link!

Now I know that it’s important that people who cannot use mice must have a way to move from place to place, and also highlight help pages if they need it. But, fergawdssake, is it too much to ask to have the key jump to the next field on a line and then go to the help if needed?
