293309 - Mozilla on MacOS X does only support tabindex for textfields.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 170833

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Diethelm Schneider]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414

In the page http://de.selfhtml.org/html/formulare/anzeige/tabindex.htm fields
and button have tabindex.
The first time klicking the tab Mozilla should focus in the second textfiled (it
does), the second time klicking tab should focus on the button, and then on the
third, at least on the first text field.

Instead of going to th button on the second tab-klick, Mozilla jumps directly to
the thirt textfield, then to the first.

So Mozilla on Mac OS X is ignoring any tabindex which is not inside a text field.

In contrast to this, Mozilla on Windows does work properly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://de.selfhtml.org/html/formulare/anzeige/tabindex.htm
2. Klick the tab (tabulator) several times and see, where the focus move to.
3. The Button will never get the focus.
Actual Results:  
Mozilla on Mac OS X does ignore any tabindex which is not inside a text field.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla on Mac OS X should focus on any tabindex, independent wether it is text
filed, button, link, select box etcetc. like it does on Windows.

I tried it with Mozilla 1.7.6 and 1.7.7 on Mac OS X.
