Weird Textbox tab issue in asp.net page using 3.5 framework

Question

I have a crazy issue when tabbing from one textbox to another.

This happens on a webpage which contains about 20+ textboxes, and this happens on the same textboxes, and I have no idea what is the cause.

When the cursor is in a textfield, I type in a value, hit tab, the focus goes to the next textbox, I hit tab, the focus stays in the same textbox, I have to hit tab again to go to the 3rd textbox.

This is annoying because the user is types their values, hits tab, starts typing values for the next txtbox, only for the cursor to stay in the pervious txtbox.

We use IE8.0

Any ideas?

I once had this problem... it was caused by duplicated tab indexes... check your indexes... at least this was my problem.
