The only way to negate an element from the tabindex according to the W3C is to disable it. I wanted to add the disable attribute dynamically with JavaScript (and not have to do so at the server because of validation issues). Correct - this is not valid code however it's also not valid behavior. I was not able to find the specific XHTML article though most HTML 4 is the same (with some deprecations to the contrast) as XHTML...
[w3.org...]
I have even manually attempted to add the disabled attribute to the body directly and Firefox still tabs to it! Suggestions?
