    <p>I have a form with many fields and I have given every single input, select and button a tabindex number. That works, but I'd like to do it programatically.</p> <p>The default tabindex order isn't correct because i have a two-column layout with groups in each column. I want to go top-down by group. How can I write a body.onload function so that it would assign all input, select and button tags a tabindex number based upon the containing div? For example, for the div I want to be cycled through first, all the input, select and button tags could have a <code>tabindex=1</code>, and all the input, select and button tags in the second div could have <code>tabindex=2</code>, and so on.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Here's a simplified example</p> <pre><code>&lt;style&gt; .a { display: inline-block; width:200px; border: 1px solid black; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;div class="a"&gt; &lt;div id="Div01" title="these inputs should have tabindex=1"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Div 01&lt;/p&gt; &lt;input id="Div01Field1" type="text" value="Me first"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div01Field3" type="text" value="Me second"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div01Field2" type="text" value="Me third"/&gt; &lt;hr&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="Div03" title="these inputs should have tabindex=3"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Div 03&lt;/p&gt; &lt;input id="Div03Field1" type="text" value="Me seventh"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div03Field2" type="text" value="Me eighth"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div03Field3" type="text" value="Me ninth"/&gt; &lt;hr&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="Div05" title="these inputs should have tabindex=5"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Div 05&lt;/p&gt; &lt;input id="Div05Field1" type="text" value="Me thirteenth"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div05Field2" type="text" value="Me fourteenth"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div05Field3" type="text" value="Me fifteenth"/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="a"&gt; &lt;div id="Div02" title="these inputs should have tabindex=2"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Div 02&lt;/p&gt; &lt;input id="Div02Field1" type="text" value="Me fourth"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div02Field2" type="text" value="Me fifth"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div02Field3" type="text" value="Me sixth"/&gt; &lt;hr&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="Div04" title="these inputs should have tabindex=4"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Div 04&lt;/p&gt; &lt;input id="Div04Field1" type="text" value="Me tenth"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div04Field2" type="text" value="Me eleventh"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div04Field3" type="text" value="Me twelfth"/&gt; &lt;hr&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="Div06" title="these inputs should have tabindex=6"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Div 06&lt;/p&gt; &lt;input id="Div06Field1" type="text" value="Me sixteenth"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div06Field2" type="text" value="Me seventeenth"/&gt; &lt;input id="Div06Field3" type="text" value="Me eighteenth"/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>

    2. COI'd prefer a straight JavaScript function to a jquery solution. But yes, essentially that's the right idea. Because divs cannot be tab-indexed the way I had imagined, I need to apply tabindex numbers to elements based upon which div they are contained in, and set a div order that the function would follow.

    3. CO`tabindex=0` doesn't work the way you describe. From the [WCAG 2.0 techniques](http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20101014/H4.html): When the interactive elements are navigated using the tab key, the elements are given focus in increasing order of the value of their tabindex attribute. _Elements that have a tabindex value higher than zero will receive focus before elements without a tabindex or a tabindex of 0._

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
