Here are some basic design goals we should strive for: - components should be allowed to control tab order of it's rendered widgets - when a region is embedded in a component tree the tab order of the region should be relative to the surrounding components - should be possible to dynamically change the tab order using ppr
Are the any other factors we should consider? -- Benj -----Original Message----- From: Dan Robinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 9:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RE: tabIndex - Solution? May not work (or may just be plain stupid), but couldn't people use tabIndex as normal, except Trinidad components would multiply the value by 10 to make space for multi-tabstop components.
