302898 - tabindex attribute ignored for input type "file"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 220187

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Rob]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

If tabindex attribute is used in your form, it will be ignored in firefox. I say
ignored because it behaves in the same way it would if you left the tabindex
attribute out, that is after you cycle through your tabindex'd elements, it will
then be included in the cycle of non-indexed page elements.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
<form name="testform" action="simpletest.html" method="post">
First Name: <input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" tabindex="10" /><br />
File: <input type="file" id="uploadfile" name="uploadfile" tabindex="20" /><br />
<input type="submit" id="submit_" name="submit_" value="Submit" tabindex="30" />
</form>
Actual Results:  
focus went from fname to submit_ to uploadfile

Expected Results:  
focus from fname->uploadfile->submit_

This has been fixed for a while (over a year).

Please test with trunk builds or at least alpha 2 before filing bugs, thanks.
