HTMLElement: tabIndex property
The tabIndex
property of the
HTMLElement
interface represents the tab order of the current element.
Tab order is as follows:
-
Elements with a positive
tabIndex
. Elements that have identicaltabIndex
values should be navigated in the order they appear. Navigation proceeds from the lowesttabIndex
to the highesttabIndex
. -
Elements that do not support the
tabIndex
attribute or support it and assigntabIndex
to0
, in the order they appear.
Elements that are disabled do not participate in the tabbing order.
Values don't need to be sequential, nor must they begin with any particular value. They may even be negative, though each browser trims very large values.
Value
An integer.
Examples
js
const b1 = document.getElementById("button1");
b1.tabIndex = 1;
