Enable Tabbing Between Form Fields When Creating A User In The Zimbra Admin Console

Within the Zimbra Admin Console, when navigating to Manage > Accounts, then clicking the gear icon to create a new user, the new user window appears. After clicking in to any of these form fields in the new user window, attempting to advance through the form fields with the Tab key fails. This is likely due to the tabindex attribute on those HTML form fields missing or non-configured. For server admins, being able to use the tab key to advance between fields is a productivity bonus, as compared to manually needing to click on each and every form field with a separate mouse click. There are also W3C accessibility standards that relate to breaking the tab key for advancing between fields in an HTML form too.

To fix this, restore the tabindex attribute to the form fields within the create a new user window in the Zimbra Admin Console. Note that the tab key does work correctly when editing an existing mailbox user from Manage > Accounts, and double clicking on a mailbox.
