(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Natasha Versluys]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

When filling out forms - the tabbing order is not correct.  Instead of moving
from the city field to the state field with the press of a tab key mozilla stops
at the state "list" link in the form.  It should go directly to the next field
in the form.  There are other sites with the same problem but this one valid
example.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to www.switchboard.com
2.  Either in the white pages or the Yellow pages start filling out the form. 
When you get to the city field - press TAB once.
3.

Actual Results:  
you stop at the state "list" link

Expected Results:  
gone to the state field in the form

It's IE only feature, exclude fields with negative tabindex from tabbing order.

From http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-tabindex

tabindex = number [CN]
    This attribute specifies the position of the current element in the tabbing
order for the current document. This value must be a number between 0 and 32767.
User agents should ignore leading zeros.
