Tab Index

Tab indexing is a way of numbering links and controlling the way a keyboard will navigate to links on a page. This is done by adding the tab index attribute within the hyperlink's code. Elements that support the tabindex attribute are; link (a), area, buttons, input, object, select, and textarea.

  • <a href="" tabindex="1"></a>
  • <area href="" tabindex="1" type="rect" coords="" />
  • <button tabindex="1" name="" value="" id="" />
  • <input tabindex="1" name="" value="" id="" />
  • <object tabindex="1" name="" value="" id="" />
  • <select tabindex="1" name="" value="" id="" ></select>
  • <textarea tabindex="1" cols="30" rows="4"></textarea>
