Tab Index Functionality

I am interested in finding out how to use TAB INDEX. I have a form that I would like to order the sequence of field selection. The form consist of HTML with embedded PHP commands that retrieve data from a database to auto populate (or provide) drop down list boxes for the form. Is there any way I can specify the sequence of field selection for users wanting to tab through fields. Unfortunately, I have set the field label descriptions with help sensitive <A HREF to a external help file > and these become stops in the tabbing sequence. I basically want to skip over the help locations when pressing the TAB key. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
