AlertDialog doesn't trap tabs or set focus to the button
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TAPESTRY-1102
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1102
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JavaScript
    Affects Versions: 4.1.1
            Reporter: Greg Woolsey


The AlertDialog widget used by the validation framework has a couple of 
navigation issues:

1) When it comes up, the "OK" button doesn't have the focus, but it appears to 
the user to be the only active page element.

2) Users can tab and shift-tab away from the dialog and enter data in form 
fields behind the bakground iframe.  This is non-intuitive, and almost always 
undesired behavior.

It appears from the parent class, DoJo's Dialog.js that giving the button a 
tabIndex, setting it as this.tabStart, and setting initial focus to it should 
fix these.  

Hard-core would be to trap all keystrokes and stop any key event that wasn't 
space or enter, but that's probably more of a hammer than is needed.
