2545 - A attribute tabindex not implemented

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[bkdelong]

From what I can tell by running the latest build of NGLayout, either the
"tab-box" isn't showing up or the tabindex attribute of the A element is not
implemented. TABINDEX allows for the page author to create a logical taborder
through links and forms. A very important feature for people who cannot use a
mouse.

Tom, when you implement the tabbing mechanism, please reassign this to pollmann.

Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.

per leger, assigning QA contacts to all open bugs without QA contacts according
to list at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Browser

Actually you know this is probably fixed.  But since you can't see focus on
links at all yet I'll leave it open so til it can be visibly verified.

As this probably works but just can't be tested I'm moving it to M5 so as not
to hold up M4 on it.  Once links are visibly focused I'll revisit this.

This does in fact work just fine.  Focus indication still a little broken but if
you add this:

<style type="text/css">
A:focus { background-color: aqua; }
</style>

into the head of the test case it all shows up quite well.

The CSS is nice and all but most people relying on TABINDEX are doing so because
of it's accessibility features and many won't use CSS. This is a good temporary
solutuin....do you plan on fixing the focus before release?

Comment 8

[joki (gone)]

Certainly.  Someone else is working on that now, actually.
