However when i try to select shift+tab to move backwards, it causes a problem. This happens with respect to the frames I have in that page. When I tend to navigate between each frame backwards, I get this problem. Can anyone clarify me on this as to what actually happens? I have set the tab index and it works fine.

Not all forms flow the same, usability aside. Besides, do you often comment on a 2 year old article with a 2 year old link. Nicely done. This was meant to demonstrate the technique, not recommend it. Dave,

You don't have to set the tabindex as it's done automatically by the browser in the code's logical order. You may set the tabindex order if your markup / design is such that demands so. Setting the tabindex on page load/ ready, is't absolutely redundant and in the examples above, it will probably mess the page readability all together since these doesn't include anchors!!! which are also focusable elements!
