Hi everybody,

I have a simple “login”, “password” and “ok” fields…  
The usuary types the login, press tab, the cursor goes to the password field, he types the password and press enter. When the login/password are wrong, the cursor continues on the password field. How do I do to the cursor goes back to the login field so the usuary can type it again?

Thks!
