Form tab order Jeff Atwood, the man behind one of my favorite reads, Coding Horror, published an article a few days ago calling attention to one of the easiest things a web user interface (UI) developer can do, which is to make forms easily navigable using the keyboard.

Poorly designed forms — with either incorrect tab order or poor layout — are certainly in my top 10 web pet peeves. I'm also a big fan of driving with my keyboard, so anyone evangelizing this earns points in my book.

Too bad the points are not redeemable for much of anything.
