HTML Global tabindex Attribute
Example
<a href="http://www.google.com/" tabindex="1">Google</a>
<a href="http://www.duckduckgo.com/" tabindex="2">Duckduckgo</a>Meaning
The tabindex attribute uses a number to identify the object’s position in the tabbing order for keyboard navigation using the TAB key.
The attribute should be set to a numeric value. User agents will generally move through fields with tabindex set in increasing numeric order, skipping any elements with 0 or a negative value.
After moving over all tabindex values, any 0 valued fields will be navigated in order, but negative values will continue to be skipped. Nonnumeric values will generally result in the browser applying its normal focusing algorithm.
Note: If the value is negative, the element will be excluded from the tabbing navigation.
