Disable tab in HTML form

Question

I want to make an editor for my webpage so I can easily edit my pages. I'm using a textarea for the editor. The textarea is inside of a form.

Therefore, if I use tab to indent, the cursor jumps to the Submit button.

I found some methods to set the tabindex to -1, but this won't help.

Is there some way to disable the tab function?

<form method='GET' action='pages/save.php'>
 <textarea id='textbox' class='form-control' name='textarea' rows='20' cols='80'></textarea><br />
  <input id='safebutton' type='submit' value='Save' />
 </form>

        $this.val($this.val().substring(0, start)
                    + "\t"
                    + $this.val().substring(end));
