Tab Control on Hidden Input fields

When I have a hidden input field on my webpage and I use the tab key to traverse my fields, the cursor always moves to the hidden input field. This means that I have to press tab twice to move to the next visible field. Is there any way that I can skip the hidden input field when I am using the tab key?
Thanks, B

weird i never noticed this behavior and i use hidden input quit often. Are you using

  <input type="hidden" ...>
'
or
  <input type="text" style="visibility:hidden;">
'

however in javascript you can do

<input type="hidden" onfocus="document.myform.nextfield.focus()">
'

IF , ELSE , WHILE isn't that what life is all about

Try putting the hidden fields right at the bottom, as long as they are withing the FORM tags then they will pass.
