587d7790367417b2b2512ab1 Use tabindex to Specify the Order of Keyboard Focus for Several Elements 0 https://scrimba.com/c/cmzRRcb

Description

The tabindex attribute also specifies the exact tab order of elements. This is achieved when the value of the attribute is set to a positive number of 1 or higher. Setting a tabindex="1" will bring keyboard focus to that element first. Then it cycles through the sequence of specified tabindex values (2, 3, etc.), before moving to default and tabindex="0" items. It's important to note that when the tab order is set this way, it overrides the default order (which uses the HTML source). This may confuse users who are expecting to start navigation from the top of the page. This technique may be necessary in some circumstances, but in terms of accessibility, take care before applying it. Here's an example: <div tabindex="1">I get keyboard focus, and I get it first!</div> <div tabindex="2">I get keyboard focus, and I get it second!</div>

Instructions

Camper Cat has a search field on his Inspirational Quotes page that he plans to position in the upper right corner with CSS. He wants the search input and submit input form controls to be the first two items in the tab order. Add a tabindex attribute set to "1" to the search input, and a tabindex attribute set to "2" to the submit input.

Tests

tests:
  - text: Your code should add a <code>tabindex</code> attribute to the search <code>input</code> tag.
    testString: assert($('#search').attr('tabindex'), 'Your code should add a <code>tabindex</code> attribute to the search <code>input</code> tag.');
  - text: Your code should add a <code>tabindex</code> attribute to the submit <code>input</code> tag.
    testString: assert($('#submit').attr('tabindex'), 'Your code should add a <code>tabindex</code> attribute to the submit <code>input</code> tag.');
  - text: Your code should set the <code>tabindex</code> attribute on the search <code>input</code> tag to a value of 1.
    testString: assert($('#search').attr('tabindex') == '1', 'Your code should set the <code>tabindex</code> attribute on the search <code>input</code> tag to a value of 1.');
  - text: Your code should set the <code>tabindex</code> attribute on the submit <code>input</code> tag to a value of 2.
    testString: assert($('#submit').attr('tabindex') == '2', 'Your code should set the <code>tabindex</code> attribute on the submit <code>input</code> tag to a value of 2.');
