275718 - input type=file doesnt honor tabindexes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[M Winkler]

on a complex page with the input type=file in the *middle* of the tabindex
it is not honored.  on simple pages with just a single input type=file at the
top, it appears to work, but it really isnt honoring the tabindex, its just
the only thing there and the default is kicking in.

THANKS!

The testcase works fine in a current build.... Marking worksforme, but please
reopen if you have a testcase that shows the problem in a trunk build.

Attachment: Demonstration of tabindex issue with complete form markup

This attachment includes the full markup necessary for a valid form. The
previous test case did not include the <form></form> container.

I am using Mozilla 1.7.6 on PC (Windows 2000 Professional) and the tabindex is
ignored for <input type="file" />. I also tested this with Windows XP OS, and it
also is an issue.

It does appear, however, that if the <input type="file" /> markup falls at the
end of the form markup, the tabindex is honored. I attached "Demonstration of
tabindex issue..." to demonstrate the issue with <input type="file" /> in the
middle of a form.

Which is using a Gecko from April 2004... Please don't test layout/rendering/etc
bugs on anything older than 1.8 beta 1 at this point.
