Typically you can use the Ctrl key to select/unselect items.

I guess the answer is to add a tabindex tag to the html in the templates but I was hoping there may be an easier way if I add a few more fields.

There isn't any tab order property to my knowledge.  The tab ordering should be in line with the display order.

PHP Code:

$p2tot=$GLOBALS['threadfields']['p2p']*$GLOBALS['threadfields']['p2q']; $p3tot=$GLOBALS['threadfields']['p3p']*$GLOBALS['threadfields']['p3q']; $GLOBALS['threadfields']['total']=$p2tot+$p3tot this I guessed when I hit save post this would post the total to the variable $GLOBALS['threadfields']['total']

but it does not seem to do it

Why does this need to be a thread field?  Why not just output it in the template?

Just join with the threads table in your query.
