Prevent tabstop on A element (anchor link) in HTML

Question

Is it possible to cancel an <a href="..."> from being tabstopped in any browser? I would like to do this without Javascript.

Answer 1

No.

The closest you could come is to apply a tabindex attribute to every other focusable element so that the anchor comes last in the tab order.

However, if you want this, then you are probably doing something wrong in the first place.

(And I assume you mean href rather than src)

Answer 2

Some of the browsers support the "tabindex="-1" attribute, but not all of them, since this is not a standard behaviour.

Answer 3

I think you could do this by javascript, you override the window.onkeypress or onkeydown, trap the tab button, and set the focus at the desired order.
