The situation is as follows:  
There are serveral forms on a tabpanel. I have to navigate from one form on the tab panel to another form on the same tabpanel but on different tabindex.

My problem is to set focus from one form field to another field on a different form on the same tabpanel.

do you want to jump from tabpanel to tabpanel? setting the tabindex and then set the focus on the first field of the second tab?

because if the tab is visible then you should be able to transfer the focus just fine.
