When the HTML document is well written, the order of the tabbing flows intelligently through the page, from the very first links in the menu to the final links in the footer. The tabindex attribute allows the web developer to dictate the order of the tabbing. It is used within tags that offer functionality to the user: a link, a form field, a button, and so forth. It is most commonly found in forms, where the order of tabbing through various fields is vitally important to the usability of the page. Functionally, it is the equivalent of clicking inside a field before typing. Applying the attribute is very simple:
The tab index order does not have to start with 1. In fact, it can be any integer up to 32,000. Because of this, it works better to group blocks of content into levels of tab index values. For instance, the search box might be the 100 level, (shown in the preceding code), the main menu the 200 level, internal content the 300 level, and any footer links the 400 level.
