Subject: XHTML: Form elements with 'tabindex' attribute skipped from tabbing order
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author

I'll attach two sample identical documents: an HTML and an XHTML
one.  Both have two form elements with a 'tabindex' attribute set
and two which don't specify a 'tabindex'.  I've observed the
elements with 'tabindex' set get skipped from the tabbing navigation
after the first iteration when viewing the XHTML document.  The HTML
one works just fine.  Is this a known issue?

In the XHTML sample there are four input elements, all have a tabindex
attribute. One of the input elements is outside of a form element, the
other three are inside of a form element. For me with Firefox 3.0
(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11)
Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11) the input elements inside of the form
are skipped from tab navigation after the first iteration. Whether that
is a known issue I don't know.

I've attached slightly modified XHTML sample from the intended.  It
still shows another view of the problem as you've noticed (below).
If you remove the 'tabindex=4' and 'tabindex=3' attributes from it
to match the HTML sample you should observe the exact behavior I've
described.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

FWIW, I'm experiencing this using SeaMonkey 1.1.6, 1.1.7 and Firefox
3.5.

Seems to be a long known and reported issue:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226361

I am not sure what to do to get that bug some attention.

Thanks for the pointer.  I'll probably attach my forms example to
the issue but I'm not sure this will make it get more attention.

Per comment #9 - appears to be fixed on trunk.  Tried it out with
today's Windows nightly and it works o.k., now.
