Unfortunately I don't know of any way to allow your to insert tabs into the text box on your browser. Every browser I've tried shifts the focus to another field when you press the tab key. There's actually no problem with allowing you to enter them, I just don't know how you can do it with your browser.

As an alternate solution, I've added a new formatting code ["t"] (without the quotes) that inserts a 4 character "tab" in its place. Additionally there is a new button in the formatting bar that will insert this forum code tag.

You can use the tab forum code anywhere in your postings including inside of code sections.

For example:
    Indented
        Indented More
            Indented even more
        A little less

and so on.

Hopefully this is a good work-around for the browser preventing tabs in input fields.

You may have to refresh your browser to get the button to work properly, the code is included in a javascript include file that sometimes stays cached by the browser.
