Menu
I am stuck with a tabindex problem here. As you can see in the HTML mock up, I have four buttons namely "Add", "Subtract", "Save" and "Close". When user Hits the Tab key, the flow starts correctly from Add-> Subtract-> Save-> Close, but after Close if user hits the Tab key again, the focus goes to the TD TAG with comment "Jumping Here". What I want it to do is to go to Add button instead. I tried giving all Buttons a tabindex of 1, 2, 3, 4 then I tried giving every button an index of 1 and rest of the places as -1 but that didnt solve the problem either. How do I solve this issue?

Pretty sure this is not possible. Just because you have a form with tabindex values, it doesn't mean those are the only elements that will receive focus. Even browser components, like the address bar, will receive focus at some point. The browser will use the tabindex you specify, but after that tabbing will cycle through everything else.

I don't like this idea but a way you could achieve this is registering an onblur event for the Close Button, then set the focus to what ever control you wanted...
This does work....
function resetFocusIndex(){
var obj = document.getElementsByName('addIt');
if(obj[0])
obj[0].focus();
}
<INPUT TYPE="button" tabindex = "1" VALUE="Close" NAME="closeIt" onblur="resetFocusIndex()">
UPDATE
<html>
<head>
<script>
function resetFocusIndex(){
var obj = document.getElementsByName('addIt');
if(obj){
obj[0].focus();
}
}
</script>
